Re: [MBZ] Clean '94 E320 cabriolet on BAT

[Clay via Mercedes]

We all agree the newer than w124 mercedes are not worthy of a hold position, 
nor will they be found in operable condition to qualify for classic/vintage 
licensing.   

I really miss owning cars that are not bogged down with toys, blinking lights, 
more computing power than an old Packard Bell from Costco, and have nanny 
features which make it impossible to repair/replace the interior.  Too much 
explosive power with all those air bags to bother fixing headliners, A pillars 
and such.  Let alone be able to swing a wrench under the hood without having an 
old Cray on hand to decipher codes and re-anable functionality.

Welcome to the age of automotive appliances.  And the kids have no interest or 
desire to acquaint themselves with the cars from the past 25 years, nor 
anything older, as those vehicles are killing Greta Thunderbird fortified whine.

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

Agreed! 123s look better. 124s don't look bad, they just look more 
modern.  The modern look started with the W126.  No other car designed 
in the 70s from any maker has the modern look.   126 and 124s still look 
'in" style.  I'd rather drive a 126 or 123 for long distances, but a 124 
is ok.   124s remind me of the Karmann Ghia, where you left foot was 
nearly in front of your right hip.


I don't know if 124 Diesels will ever go up that much, but the floptops 
will, and AMG and E420 up might.

January 29, 2020 at 11:12 AM
After the 123's peak, then 124's will go up-but I don't think they are as
classi c in styleas the 123's.
YMMV
I have had both and my 124 was the best car I ever owned.

I don’t think the W124 cabrios will ever attain significant values. There 
aren’t that many of them and they’re sort of weird as far as styling and looks. 
I’m not criticizing, I just don’t think they’re unique or good looking enough 
to ever command big bucks.

Is this a true statement:  "under the hood is the 3.2 Liter inline
6-cylinder that is one of the longest lasting engines Mercedes Benz ever

Re: [MBZ] Clean '94 E320 cabriolet on BAT

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

well, from 1970 or before, until about 20 years ago when the 240D and 
123 300Ds started to age out, ANY running Mercedes Diesel that was not 
rusted away or crunched was worth at least $5000 on the private sale 
market.    The glut of 81-84 Diesels, purchased after the second "oel 
crisis" came on the market about 2000.    I paid $5k for the 81 in late 
98.  Had I waited a year or 2, I could have bought one for $1500...   
The glut is gone now.   Unfortunately cars produced 15-20 years ago are 
electronic toys, and because of the unavailability and high cost of 
electronics, these cars will never be valuable after they leave the 
stealer lot.


In 1972, I paid $4000 for the 200D, and thought i had a real deal. 
Turned out I overpaid, but that's another story.

Sold new for $80 k and now lucky if it reaches $20K. This depreciation is
shocking for those of us taught the party line that Mercedes "hold their
value". Even the St. Christopher medal couldn't prevent such a sharp
decline, although it did prevent serious accidents...

When will the curve flatten and head back up? Will this non-classic
designed cabriolet ever attain its original sticker price? Will
silver/gray become chic in the year 2050?
