Condition is everything. My '78 was the opposite of that one, white outside chocolate brown interior. I paid $1500 with maybe 10k fewer miles and non-working AC that just needed a hose and a drier.
Today prices are higher, $1500 doesn't buy a car that will pass MA inspection, for that you're looking at $2500... I looked at a Jetta TDI a few weeks ago, he was asking $3500, it needs some work. Turn signal lenses and a few little things (glow plugs) to pass inspection, has a little rust. Worse its got a turbo whine I think means the turbo is packing up. I got him down to $3000 but he wouldn't go a penny less. I walked. I test drove a 2001 Saab 93, they want $1500. It starts and runs good, radio doesn't work at all. CEL on, parking brake indicator on, brake wear indicator on, no parking brake at all, some rust. I probably coulda had it for $1200 but walked... Based on that I suspect I could still sell my 240D (once the head/headgasket issue is worked out) for $1000, I suspect my 190D is now around $3k (I paid $250). -Curt Date: Fri, 12 Jul 2013 11:37:34 -0500 From: Randy Bennell <rbenn...@bennell.ca> To: Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Subject: [MBZ] 240D Message-ID: <51e030ce.8070...@bennell.ca> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed 1980 240D - chocolate brown with white - (parchment?) upholstery manual transmission and hand crank windows advertised locally with about 235K miles on it photos look nice no mention of AC so that might be bad news reasonable price? _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
