On an errand this morning, saw a 450SEL with a for sale, $1200. Looked pretty nice, blue/blue, paint a bit faded, a few dings here and there, interior nice. Called the guy, it's a 77, 120k miles or so, A/C working but might need a recharge, tranny takes a few minutes to start shifting right but then OK, he's owned it since 81, all service at Enzo Luzo's place in that time. Probably get it for $1k. Check the price of an ignitor module for this car, part of the spark ignition system. I think they fail every 50-60 K miles! In fact, go to Rusty's site and put in that year and model and just look at stuff like injectors, plug wires, tune up kits, etc. That'll stop you.
