My friend in Jacksonville, Florida has her 1991 350SDL she's considering getting rid of. (I think the decision is based on what she can get for the car; She's considering selling it due to a family illness and does not need a 3'rd car.). Purchased used from a Mercedes dealership in 1996 with about 70K miles with a new, factory replacement engine. Uses ZERO oil between 3K oil changes, garaged since purchased, now with ~170K miles. . In above average condition and ran well when I drove it a few months ago. Now I KNOW this is a tough crowd when it comes to these 3.5L "rodbender" engines, but is the longevity of the factory replacement engines better than the originals? What might a car like this fetch on the open market? Angelo, I would go $7,000, just based on your description, fly in and drive it home. My guess is someone who is really looking for a car like this, with the replacement engine, would go 12K. Marshall will probably chime in, but the replacement engines are supposed to be free of rod problems. My offer is firm Jim Friesen Phoenix AZ 79 300SD, 264 K miles 98 ML 320, 152 K miles ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
