Ahhhh...reminds me of my first MB...a '72 220D also with about
58Kmiles....bought it from Beres Motors in Pekin, IL in '78 for $2400 I seem
to recall. Traded in a '76 TR7. The big deal then was who would want
something not made in America by a UAW member (since I lived in East Peroia
where Caterpillars are made...everyone worked at Cat). I was an outcast.

Subject: Re: [MBZ] Fuck?
the market for the 123 TDs has gone berzerk over the past few years. i
bought mine 4 years ago for 2500 and really figured i was paying top
dollar
for it. I recently actually received a call along these lines a few
months
ago:
Hello, you know where i can find diesel mercedes for sale.
no, not really, i only have one and i don't really want to sell it
ok, i come look at it
no,no i don't want to sell it.
what kind is it?
81 300TD
ok, i come see it . when is good for you?
no, no, it's a ratty car. you don't want it. i don't want to sell it.
the
rear quarter is smashed. it leaks a quart of oil every hundred miles.
you
don't want it.
i come see. when is good for you?
I had to hang up on the dude.
what a long way this is from when i bought my first benz diesel, a 72
220D,
original owner, all books and records, immaculately maintained and in mint
condition. The seller couldn't even get an offers on it besides my $1500
one in six months of trying.
'twas a different world, huh?

$14k... And some fuck laughed at me on the phone when I said I was
looking for a third of that. I told him to come back when he was
serious.
