Yes convertible top guy who fixed my Wife's SAAB top for a couple grand said a MB top repair a month would pay his bills. I bet this is as much as R129

That being said, if the hydraulics are shot I would immediately knock $1000 off the price, if not more. The work is medium level DIY stuff, but the labor is a killer if you pay someone to do it. If the seller has talked to a shop about the work he’s gotten a BIG dose of reality, as I would expect that parts and flat rate time for the whole job is well past $2,000, probably closer to $3,000. Klaus of Top Hydraulics is THE MAN when it comes to rebuilt components and repairs. I used him for a complete cylinder rebuild on my R129 and he kicked some serious *ss on it AND he will talk to you over the phone and/or email if you have questions or problems. Here is the page for the W124 convertible stuff: https://www.tophydraulicsinc.com/en/22-w124-e-300-ce-e-320-e-220-cabriolet So it looks like about $1200 for a total system replacement, however, it’s unlikely your pump and valves need replacement. Cylinders are $450, which isn’t bad at all. Again, it’s not a fun job and will take you easily 12-16 hours to do a complete R&R, but there’s nothing that isn’t beyond basic mechanical work in the process. -D > On Jan 8, 2018, at 8:55 PM, Kaleb C.

A guy emailed me about it. I happened to have been driving by where the car is located on Sunday and saw it sitting outside a repair shop. It was red and looked pretty good while driving by. > > Sent from my iPhone > > _______________________________________ > http://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 > > _______________________________________ http://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 _______________________________________ http://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
