Good luck finding a 500E for less than $20,000.

Edmunds is full of shit.

Edmunds says a 1992 500E is worth $1,500 tops.

And it has a wonky transmission.

Put a "For Sale" sign up and be done. In two or three years you are going to 
drop another ton of time and money into this pit, to get it ready to rent or 
sell again. Market conditions may not favor selling in three years as opposed 
to now.
Do It Now.

And yes, three years from now I will say "told ya!".

I wonder how easy it is to check stock on Lowe’s web site? That’s one nice 
thing about doing it in the store - the salespeople can tell you the status of 
the stock at any time.

The Costco thing that Floyd pointed out is pretty good. We’re Costco members 
and use their branded VISA card as well, as you get points for buying gas, so 
we may go that route. The kickback plus the additional warranty makes it 
worthwhile. They also have a really good selection on their web site, too.

Hmm.

Re: [MBZ] OT back to washing machines

2020-10-21 Thread Floyd Thursby via Mercedes
I checked reviews on those 2 units linked below, the Whirlpool got some 
bad reviews but the Maytag reviews were all pretty good whatever that 
might mean.


Costco have a deal where if you get their credit card and pay with that 
you get another 2yr (4 total) warranty coverage and another 2% cash 
back.  I'm not a CC fan but that might be worth it to get it, pay off 
the CC, then stick it in a drawer.  That would give me $30 off total 
then the extra 2 years is good.  I can buy online and get it delivered 
next Wed, they haul off the old one, do the hookup, etc. so that's a 
good deal, pretty much turnkey.


And yeah that is about the least expensive they have for the larger 
(mid!) size so I guess that is what you have to buy.


I see Fred's comment that they are both made by Whirlpool, I guess that 
is why they look similar, probably have the same guts. h

Yeah, I know. It’s like optometrists. There are lots of different names, but

We’re shopping appliances for the new house, and all I can say is there seems 
to be nothing in the way of basic, plain Jane sort of appliances any more. I 
figured we could find an inexpensive washer and dryer and like you, I was 
stunned when I walked through Lowe’s the other day and didn’t see a washer for 
under $700.

When we head up north I’m going to check out what used to be Sears Outlet. You 
could get some good deals on closeouts and scratch and dent stuff there. 
They’ve been bought out by a company called “American Freight” apparently, but 
they’re still doing the same thing. There are four stores around Indy.

POR15 makes a really good epoxy for refinishing steering wheels. It takes some 
time to d the job, but if you’re careful and follow the instructions it works 
out nicely.

Mercedes closed out their NOS steering wheels a couple of years ago. I was able 
to snag one for the 220SEb for around $400, brand new. They had listed well 
north of $1,000 previously. It was a beautiful thing, I wanted to hang it on 
the wall like a work of art.

these lines, of course.

conversion is not that.
