[MBZ] Finnie '67 200 Project on BAT

[Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes]

Checks off all the boxes: 1) hasn't run in  years; 2) wrapped (cracked)
steering wheel; 3) visible and hidden rust; 4) oogy stained velour
interior; 5) cracked dash wood and pad; 6) rusty battery tray; 7)
disintegrating vinyl trunk mat.

Yet...  it appears to be a complete diesel engine car with a 4 speed
transmission.

Wonder what it's worth...

What is the purpose of a bumper?  Unless it's more durable than the car 
bodywork,
and/or cheaper, it's not a bumper at all.

[MBZ] Preaching to the Converted

[Randy Bennell via Mercedes]

As the Subject line says, I know I am preaching to the converted here, 
but, I have to say that I continue to marvel at the quality of my old 
Mercedes. It is 47 years old and has it's little idiosyncrasies, but it 
is a darned good car. I won't be here to see what the current crop of 
vehicles will be like in 47 years but I highly doubt they will match my 
old car.


Some years I have driven it very little. This year, in the later summer 
and through the fall, I have been driving it back and forth to my office 
most days and I cannot help but be impressed. The diesel is of course a 
bit noisy, but I sort of like listening to it. I don't have a radio in 
the car at the moment but I likely wouldn't listen to it in any event. 
It would mostly just be filler for the hole in the dash. It is no hot 
rod but for the driving I have been doing, it is fine. I am in no risk 
of being run down when I leave stop signs or traffic lights. It is a bit 
disappointing that fuel has become more expensive than gasoline but the 
car makes decent mileage so it is not that much of a penalty.


The car is about to be put away for the winter as snow is in the 
forecast but such is life in the GWN. I need to get the winter tires 
onto my truck this weekend.

The 2014-2016 E and GLK class bluetec German made sedan and SUV are
similarly durable.  The interior wears like iron and the paint finish seems
to be impervious to The Elements.

There are so many things wrong with this that I can’t even begin to get my head 
around them. The current price ($2000) is a gift to the seller, who happens to 
be a big national dealer of classic and exotic cars (“Motoexotica”).

Re: [MBZ] Preaching to the Converted

[Karl Wittnebel via Mercedes]

I think I have put about 120k on the wagon in daily driving since 2001. I
still drive it to work daily and on any longer trips to save gas over the
560. About an hour each way up the grapevine and back every Tuesday at 70+
mph. Violin lessons with the dog in back on Saturdays; bike rack on the
trailer hitch. It hauled my international canoe on the roof up and down the
Eastern Seaboard from Gananoque to Sarasota for eight years. Head gasket
started leaking in Rhode island on a trip and I ran the coolant low and
overheated it; this was 15 years ago; borrowed a glass coffee pot from a
Dunkin Donuts and filled it back up and kept driving for another 10 years
before replacing the head. So not without maintenance. But still feels
quite safe.

The tailgate guide rubber on the sides has finally died and I emailed
Latvia but no reponse yet.

Hole in the floor pan so no accelerator pedal.

New carpet last year; may go full leather interior this year.

Front w126 brakes. Master cylinder failed. Pedal is hard it should have a
126 booster probably.

Anyway I agree what else do you see on the road being used daily after 37
years? This car has saved me so many tickets. Except that time at night at
the Pentagon when the feds were tailgaiting me so I sped up and then they
pulled me over for speeding. Complete a-holes. Federal court. It was like
entrapment. Fortunately the federal prosecutors were more reasonable at the
Alexandria courthouse.

I keep thinking I should put a rebuilt motor in it while there are still
parts.

[MBZ] 2005 E320 - 79k miles - $9,500

[Allan Streib via Mercedes]

Looks clean and pretty low miles. I usually don't think non-original wheels are 
an improvement but those look pretty good on that car.

Still somewhat pricey especially as it's not a 4Matic?

Pricey, despite the mileage. That and it’s so…..drab. I don’t care for the 
wheels, but they’re not bad. At least now you’ve got a spare set to put snow 
tires on. Otherwise, nice car.

Price is a bit optimistic, but this is a really nice example of a W140. I 
wonder if the AC evaporator has been replaced? I’m sure the wiring harness has 
been done by now. Those would be the only two concerns I would have. Looks like 
it has excellent provenance.

Low miles looks very nice but that’s more like a $6500 car. Same colors as my
