Has anyone on this list bought the same car in the advertised condition in the past 12 months for under 10K? I mean a car that looks like it's a year or two old, not 20, and will attract attention wherever it goes.
If you look at what it would cost to restore the body of a well-used 300td to newish daily driver condition you get up towards 5-6K pretty quickly in my neck of the woods, if you want new metal and factory-level paint. Add that to $3500 for the basic car and a grand or three for various mechanicals and you are at 10K. Hell, five years ago nice 300tds with 170K and slightly dented-up bodies were selling for 8K around here; hard to believe this one would be worth less than 10 today. Sure you can buy an old, well-used wagon for 5K or less. But then you have an old, well-used car, not a head turner. So come on, guys - put up or shut up - who has bought a 1985 300tdt in excellent (i.e. likely to win user's choice award at a meet, or one that a Mercedes dealer would put in the showroom) condition in the last 12 months? What did you pay? I want to hear about it. Break out the camera and show us the goods.
