I was impressed the car looked as well cared for as it did. The verbiage though cast some doubt as to how well in fettle it is. Low miles is good for valuation were it in the five figure range. Sadly, the R107 is not an investment unless it is in pristine condition from my few years of ownership. There are just too many out there and in all manner of disreputable condition, with few in top shape.
I was mildly surprised that I was able to fetch as much as I did for mine. Sold it to a middle aged gal who had admired them since Richard Gere drove one in a motion picture. The R107 is not as reliable as a good OM powered car of the same vintage. It does have a goodly 18 year production range, but probably appeals most to the mid-life crisis crowd than to younger people who would be looking at purchasing in the next decade. By 2030 the petrol cars will be out of production (in theory), so maybe an early Priapus will be the must have collectable. clay I have no pronouns please do not refer to me. > On Jul 9, 2021, at 8:41 PM, G Mann via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > I like it.
