Re: [MBZ] Am I on Crack?
I don't know the details on the paint fade. It's possible the guy lives in one of the snowbird 60's vintage homes in that area that just have car ports. It was such an ordeal trying to communicate with him because his hearing is obviously not 100% that I pretty much gave up trying to get details. I'll just take a look at it and go from there. The guy that listed it for him said someone has been calling and making offers but they can't get over to see it for a week or something goofy like that. Apparently they have talked to the owner as well, as he made some comments about someone making him an offer without seeing the car and asking if he would put a lower sale price on the title. Being an older person, that freaked him out.

Re: [MBZ] Am I on Crack?
A cynic would ask why spend all that money on themechanicals if he left it out in the sun to fade the paint? I would definitely see and test drive the car, then if it checks out make a low enough offer to cover you in case something major (transmission, e.g.) fails in the first year.

Re: [MBZ] Am I on Crack?
Yes you are on crack but you could still buy it and have some fun. A coupla years ago an S600 was for auction at a tow yard, I went over there and got there just as they were selling it, went for something like $2300. Looked like a doper car, probably repo or something, but in half OK condition. Guy who bought it looked like a low-end used car lot dealer. I figured for that money if nothing else the parts would be worth at least 2X that. Whatever, I didn't buy it... So some time later I am at some dinner my wife organized with some of her colleagues, get talking to one guy who was a drug developer doc of some sort, says he collected various cars, had his own semi to haul them around in (!!!). I had seen an S600 parked in her lot by her office, asked him if that was his. He said yeah, he had bought it a year or so ago, used, got a good deal on it. I told him I had heard those things were troublesome and pricey to fix (not that the money would have been an issue for him), he said it had been no problem and loved the car. So there is that datum. For that kind of money just buy the damn thing and drive it til it breaks. --R On 5/5/15 10:03 AM, Dan Penoff via Mercedes wrote: Sort of my thoughts as well. Talked to the owner last night.

Our '67 200D was called the "White Tornado" by our sons classmates because it would take a half mile to get it up to 45 mph by very carefully feeding power to the slipping clutch. No drag racing, no jackrabbit starts for the White Tornado. With a hole in the muffler and 4000 rpm in second gear, everyone knew when our son had arrived. We let it slip until he finished high school. It was a very effective safety factor.

Re: [MBZ] Am I on crack...?
I think it's fair for a car is the shape described. I'd pay it. Only thing, I keep hearing all these stories about how long lived diesels are and then see many with engine rebuilds at less than 400,000 kms. Nothing wrong with a rebuild engine, but makes me question the premium often asked for old diesels? I have over 350,000kms on my gasser now, and it's all original. Engine is strong and trans shifts well, so I do question the whole, "diesels go forever thing". But to answer your question, I think your car seems like a fair deal. I even think the colour is pretty good. :-) Ed 300E On 09/11/2007, Joe Knight <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > http://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/car/473707498.html > Most probably but I've found a replacement so it's time to see what > it'll bring.

It is funny how some colors stand the test of time and others become very dated. The golds and avocado greens of the 70's have not really stood the test of time like some colors do. We still have an avocado green refrigerator in the basement. Don't mind the color but wouldn't want it in the kitchen now. Sometimes if the vehicle gets old enough, the color starts to look good again. I have a 68 Chevy pickup that is light blue. I can't say I have ever really liked the color and for a long time, I planned to paint it a darker blue. Now, I wouldn't do that.
