I've got the replacement. Should I first thread the cable through the lever?

Currently my 2001, C240 is in the dealers to investigate a starting problem, while waiting for their call I am browsing Autotrader as I feel that it will be an expensive fix and it's probably time to replace the car as the rust is beginning to set in. I will be looking at 3 or 4 door C class...

Ollie and anybody else care to comment ? I'm considering a 1990 300CE on a G plate to replace current W203 C240. I can live with a slightly worse mpg and don't mind having an older car that looks good. 300CE looks good, what should I look out for ?
