I agree especially with the top up it looks very strange. Not too bad with the 
top down.

Yes. Exactly. 
I just got a message from him saying I can come and scan it at 4pm. I suppose I 
will. 
You both are right about me not having ample room to mess with it and not 
wanting a project.

Re: [MBZ] OT speaking of trains Massive Vintage Lionel O Gauge Train Collection,$3,800 ·

[dan penoff.com via Mercedes]

Don’t know about that.

The old couple down the street from me who have two whole rooms in their home 
literally full of Lionel stuff, most of is still boxed with with all the boxes 
and packing materials can’t give the stuff away. MMM says they’re asking train 
show prices, too, which also may contribute to to the problem.

Part of the problem is their unwillingness to ship anything, however, this is a 
perfect example of Baby Boomers and their interests and how not a whole lot of 
younger people care about this stuff.

Re: [MBZ] Amazing Mercedes Wagon

[dan penoff.com via Mercedes]

These are wonderful cars, and have the reliability of a Corolla. I wonder how 
many miles it has.

My former 1999 E320 wagon had almost 230k on the clock before it went to 
CoPart. It was perfectly drivable and would easily make 300k given the chance, 
I believe.

I paid $3300 for it in 2017 with 175k on the clock. One owner, dealer 
maintained. Insurance company totaled it out for $5300 in March. I think I may 
have made money on this deal.

Yes scan it and see what’s up. Google what comes up and see what is involved.

Re: [MBZ] begje interior

[dan penoff.com via Mercedes]

I’ve done it, but considering that this is nothing more than a flip for the guy 
and he has no interest in the vehicle itself, you’re essentially assuming the 
risk he took when he bought it at auction. If it was a private seller/owner I 
would have a different attitude as you could at least get some history out of 
them, but in this case that’s a big black hole and isn’t going to change unless 
you get a VMI.

If you were Floyd with a vast estate and cars to scavenge parts off of as well 
as resources for reprogramming ECUs, I could totally see it. But in your case I 
think it’s a bad idea. I would feel the same way if it were me, even knowing 
what we do about it at this point. Unless I was hell bent on having one of 
these, I would move on. There will always be more.

Worst case, check it out, scan it, (don’t share the results with the seller, he 
doesn’t deserve or need thte information) and report back to see if it’s 
repairable. Then you’ve got to make a quick decision as to whether or not you 
want to assume the risk.

I’ve walked away from plenty of deals like this and never felt bad about one 
yet.

Budget $1500 to shore up the headliner (shade) on the pano roof when it

In perfect shape it might be a $5k vehicle but $4500 might be more realistic. 
It’s 16yr old but maybe the diesel adds a bit of value.

Add up all what might be needed (CP swap figure $1k easy to get a “new” one for 
$400, maybe $400 for programming, and $200 for fluid/filter, you do the work 
not paying someone to do it) and back out from say $5k and there’s your number. 
The CP might be ok though, you’ll have to see the scan.

Re: [MBZ] begje interior

Let’s see…..Johnny Italiano bought it for $5000 at the auction and when he went 
to drive it home he learned it was in limp mode. He has it priced at $4000, and 
told me that he’s prepared to lose his shirt. It for certain needs the

I think $1500 might piss him off, but I don’t know his definition of “loose mya

 I guess I’ll take 20 pictures of Mr. Franklin and my scanner and start at 
 $1500 (depending on the codes of course) because he kept repeating how he 
 paid $5k for it at the auction and he’s gonna “loose hez shirt” on “dis 
 dizzle”
 I think it can be cleaned up and sorted and be a good driver. Oh, and it 
 needs a windshield. Would I get it insured, wait a couple days then call 
 insurance or just pay to get it replaced? I have no earthly idea how much 
 a proper windshield costs.

Re: [MBZ] begje interior

[Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes]

Yes 722.9. The CP in a 722.9 is coded to the car. You can get a good used (or 
something) refurb for $400 or pull one at a junkyard (that might not be good) 
for not much and then clone it from the old one. That will cost something 
unless you “know a guy.”  A 722.6 CP is maybe $60 and not coded, neither is the 
control module.

A 722.9 conductor plate job looks more involved and more costly than a 722.6

Re: [MBZ] 2002 SLK320 - 83k miles - $7,500

[dan penoff.com via Mercedes]

That’s actually a nice deal for the price based on the information in the ad. 
If the top works and doesn’t leak (hydraulic fluid) and the interior isn’t all 
aged out like they can get, it’s a good deal.

I researched and even looked at and drove a number of these thinking that it 
was the natural progression for Mrs. Dan from her SL500, but she decided not. 
They’re fun little cars, and with the M112 in them they’re pretty 
indestructible. Avoid the supercharged four cylinder versions (SLK230) as they 
can have issues with supercharger seals. I don’t believe it’s a big deal to 
work with, but I avoided them for that reason.

Re: [MBZ] begje interior

[Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes]

Ok I just picked up an 09 in “limp mode.”  Basically same vehicle I guess. 
Starts right up and runs ok but won’t accelerate very well (which is not really 
“runs ok” but you know what I mean). It will get up to speed but slowly. A scan 
with DAS showed 3 or 4 sensors wonky. The Icarsoft wouldn’t talk to the ECU but 
DAS did, unclear why. A cheap scanner might not pick those up.  I didn’t spend 
any time messing with it, will get to that when I bring it home

Oh for sure. 
He couldn’t even describe it. I’m pretty sure that’s what he was describing in 
his broken English. He’s a 22 year old kid fresh from Italy. 

I guess I’ll take 20 pictures of Mr. Franklin and my scanner and start at $1500 
(depending on the codes of course) because he kept repeating how he paid $5k 
for it at the auction and he’s gonna “loose hez shirt” on “dis dizzle” 
I think it can be cleaned up and sorted and be a good driver. Oh, and it needs 
a windshield. Would I get it insured, wait a couple days then call insurance or 
just pay to get it replaced? I have no earthly idea how much a proper 
windshield costs.

Re: [MBZ] 2019 GLA250

[Allan Streib via Mercedes]

I would consider Toyota or Lexus. Avoid Honda/Acura. I don't really know much 
about anything that new, but my MIL has a Rav4 that has been pretty bulletproof.

I read a review of the GLA and it observed that "the interior vibe channels an 
Ibiza nightclub."

This would work well plus could serve as a parts washing bin

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1890129511452305

Just prop one end up a bit to get some slope for drainage, run a bead of 
silicone to divert fluid into the sink and drain

The hard part is getting it out of the car without pulling the engine, I don't

Looks to be very close to the colour of my 1976 W115 300D.

What, you don’t have one?

And yes, you’re right - that thing they use to put the body’s head on would be 
perfect for the tailshaft housing to rest on.

[dan penoff.com via Mercedes]

Rebuilding automatic transmissions is far from rocket science. In fact, it's 
pretty simple for the most part. Make sure you have a place to work that’s 
clean, an area to disassemble that can get oily/dirty, and some high quality 
snap ring pliers and you should be good. I’m sure the more modern/electronic 
they get the more difficult it will be, but something like a 722.x can’t be 
that difficult.

Re: [MBZ] Selling due to transmission slipping but drives. 2004 Mercedes-Benz sl-class SL 600 Roadster 2D, $10, 500

[Floyd Thursby via Mercedes]

I watched a couple of vids about rebuilding 722.6s and 722.9s.  They are 
actually quite easy to rebuild, you just have to keep track of the bits 
and keep everything really clean.  Stuff just comes apart like a 3D 
puzzle and the vids show it very clearly.  I think there are manuals for 
it too, I might have downloaded one.  The rebuild kits are like $300, 
just some clutches and such.  On 722.9s the pump can go bad and you need 
a new front housing of the unit that the pump works in but a junkyard 
unit would probably be OK.


The hard part is getting it out of the car without pulling the engine, I 
don't know how hard that would be in a R230 but it is probably pretty 
tight to get at all the bolts.  A lift and trans jack would help a lot.

[MBZ] Car has been in storage for 5 years 2003 Mercedes-Benz clk-class CLK 55 AMG Coupe 2D, $4, 500

[Floyd Thursby via Mercedes]

This would likely be great fun but after sitting might need a lot of 
going-through.  Price still not to bad for a 55 though NA.  Cash would 
probably talk strongly in negotiations.


Rare 2003 Mercedes clk55 AMG only 761 of these cars were built in 2003. 
5.4 l naturally aspirated. 5 speed automatic. Car has been in storage 
for 5 years after it developed a radiator leak. I have a brand new 
radiator just never put it in. I was hoping to keep the car but have 
developed health issues & decided to sell it.4,500 Firm

Looks pretty nice and the price for a 124 coupé is quite good.

[MBZ] Selling due to transmission slipping but drives. 2004 Mercedes-Benz sl-class SL 600 Roadster 2D, $10, 500

[Floyd Thursby via Mercedes]

This tempts... I believe this is a 722.6 which should be pretty stout so 
not sure what the problem could be unless it was run low on fluid and 
abused which is entirely possible. Rebuilds are not difficult once it is 
out of the car. Looks like a lot of work on it. This engine is actually 
pretty reliable too. My rational brain says RUN AWAY but my passions 
say... laws hep me!


Twin Turbo 12 cylinder. Renntech Modified, can be returned to stock with 
device. Absolute thrill of a car. Many services done including ABC 
struts, motor mounts, convertible roof, etc. I purchased recently from a 
coworker and the transmission started slipping. Runs and drives but most 
likely will need replacement down the road unless it is a transmission 
solenoid/conductor plate or sensor issue. I have performed a fluid 
change and filter replacement but did not help. I don’t have the funds 
at the minute to dish out a 2-3 thousand for a transmission 
rebuild/replacement. May slightly negotiate in person. If you ask me “is 
it available” I will ignore you. If it’s up, it is available. No trades.

[MBZ] My name is Briggs and I’m selling my sisters car for her. 2007 Mercedes-Benz m-class ML 350 Sport Utility 4D,$2,500

If the engine is not trashed at 186kmi it is probably OK.  Looks pretty 
decent and for the money might be worth it.  No hitch.  I have no idea 
what the software update thing is, maybe the navi system?


The only two things wrong are the AC doesn’t blow cold & radio needs 
software update. We live in a county that doesn’t require emissions, so 
we haven’t ever tried. Besides that, it runs perfectly fine and drives 
smooth.

Re: [MBZ] sagging headliner repair

[dan penoff.com via Mercedes]

I’ve done my own as well as paid for it to be done, and all I can say is it was 
far cheaper in so many ways to have it done I would never DIY it again, except 
maybe for an R129. They’re really simple since the top is removable. That said, 
it’s a mess and you’ll never, ever get all the old glue off the headliner 
board. You can save some money by R’ing it and taking it to your 
headliner/upholstery shop, but to be honest, they’re so good at it I found the 
difference in price to be marginal at best.

Re: [MBZ] sagging headliner repair

[Peter Frederick via Mercedes]

What has happened is that the rubber foam under the fabric has fallen apart, 
and glue won't do you much good, more dead foam will simply peel off.

The fix is to remove the headliner panel, scrape all the dead foam and old glue 
off, and glue fresh material in it's place.  JoAnn used to have the correct 
material, but you may have to source it somewhere else.

Someday I may do this in the Golf, this one is coming down (the older one was 
still fine), but as long as it doesn't interfere with vision I'll leave it.  
More serious things to worry about on that car.

I think the answer is "no" but is there an effective DIY approach to dealing 
with a sagging headliner? In the past I've tried 3M sticky spray and it 
initially works but not for long.

If not, what sort of shop do I look for? There's one shop locally that 
advertises repairs that are typically in the $250-$500 range.

Car in question is my W211 E500. Headliner is not down but it's sagging over 
the rear window shelf and seat back area, it flaps around in the breeze if I 
have the rear windows open.

Re: [MBZ] sagging headliner repair

[dan penoff.com via Mercedes]

I would add that while implied, I didn’t point out that the headliner is glued 
down to the roof at the top of the windshield and rear window. The dark brown 
stuff you see is old glue, probably hide glue (as in made out of rendered 
animals.) You can’t really do a proper headliner install on these cars without 
removing the windshield and rear window seals. The fabric actually wraps around 
the weldment of the window opening in some places, so trhying to “cheat” and 
jus ttuck it under means having to try and jam a bunch of fabric where it 
doesn’t belong, or trimming it during installation (very risky!)

And again, it’s the perfect opportunity to replace the windshield and rear 
window seals, too. With OE rubber, of course!

I can’t speak to the W108s, but four years ago or thereabouts when I was doing 
the W111 220SEb a new headliner, complete from Mercedes, was under $200 and on 
the shelf in Germany.

But - it cost quite a bit to have it replaced. That’s mainly because I had both

Re: [MBZ] sagging headliner repair

[dan penoff.com via Mercedes]

Common, mainly because the back corners are anchored to the rear (C) pillar 
under the paneling that covers the pillar, and as the material ages it shrinks 
and pulls out. It’s probably got some of the brown discoloration on it as well.

I can’t speak to the W108s, but four years ago or thereabouts when I was doing 
the W111 220SEb a new headliner, complete from Mercedes, was under $200 and on 
the shelf in Germany.

But - it cost quite a bit to have it replaced. That’s mainly because I had both 
from and rear glass removed so new seals could be installed. Money well spent 
and the ideal time to do it all.
