I will say that these models are going for high cash. After the turn
out for the Biodiesel forum today, there will be increased interest in
a Benz, and sellers can ask what they like. Far too many tiny little
VW cars attending and many newbies would love a more refined car.

Subject: Re: [MBZ] Project 240D in Oregon
We're planning to fill up both tanks in Idaho tomorrow and
drive to Seattle and back in the car. The shakedown cruise.
Fuel is a lot cheaper in Idaho, in case you're curious. Effectively
the car is 'done', though there are a few small things left to do.
I'm into it a conservative 80 hours of labor, and the expenses
(including acquisition) are a hair under $1000.
(Hmm, motor mounts, restoring the AC, and a CLA on the sunroof
are still on the list. Maybe not so small. Sigh.)
I doubt this is going to make much money for us. Nice looking
car, though. That's why I want to drive it to Seattle. That way
I get some small ROI for all the TLC before we sell it. And it
ought to save us a bit of money if we don't have to buy expensive
Washington fuel. (An extra gas tax.)
