I would still take it.  While it would be a project, retrofitting wouldn’t be 
that difficult to do.  The parts are still readily available.

Re: [MBZ] Crazy W114 on BAT

2017-12-24 Thread Dan Penoff via Mercedes
I doubt it in that market, unless he had an “in” with the seller’s family.  I’m 
betting he probably paid maybe $5k.  With all the information that’s out there 
these days it’s pretty tough to give something away like that.  If anyone in 
the family had half a brain they looked up values on the interwebs.  And if 
they had an estate lawyer they certainly had the value checked out as well.

And I’m sure you probably noticed the windshield washer line hanging loose and 
not being clipped to the hood hinge?

I didn’t look any closer at the pictures, as it’s too aggravating.

Re: [MBZ] Crazy W114 on BAT

2017-12-24 Thread Dan Penoff via Mercedes
I did, and I’m betting I’ll get flagged.  Here’s what I posted so you can see 
it:

@jaimekop  – As a 25+ year Mercedes 
owner of many different models, W114s included, and a seller on BAT, I 
completely agree with you. The whole idea of selling a car like this is to 
maximize value, and do so by maintaining the integrity/authenticity of the car. 
That’s not saying it has to be concourse – it doesn’t – but it says a lot about 
a seller who is clearly flipping the car to a customer base of enthusiasts who, 
like myself, look over things in great detail as a part of the car’s value.

The minimal amount of effort necessary to put things right, such as 
reinstalling the (original) Becker radio and sourcing the proper finish 
windshield wiper arms would far outweigh the ding that many discerning buyers 
who have the funds available to purchase such a vehicle would give this car. 
(Myself included.)

It’s a beautiful car for the most part, but when I’m looking to drop $10,000+ 
on a nearly 50 year old car, I’m going to pick nits. It’s also revealing as to 
the seller’s knowledge (or lack thereof) of the car as well. I’m not 
criticizing, I’m just saying that it amazes me that people don’t take the time 
to do a little research before marketing – often time that would yield 
information that would potentially increase the selling price….

And for goodness sakes, why are people selling nearly 50 year old cars with 
modern radios in them??? Argh!!


Posters on BAT seem to be a lot more aggressive about taking down posts that 
are negative or challenge the sellers these days.  Or is it just me?

And Jaime takes them to task on originality, too:

http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/mercedes-cars-sale/390563-bluffton-sc-93-300d-2-5-turbo-sale-%241200.html

And I agree with him.  Whoever is flipping this car really failed in the prep 
department. The original Becker should have gone back in, the proper wiper 
blades fitted, and that G-d sunroof deflector removed.  I rank those things up 
there with the chrome fender trim.  I see no purpose for them and they usually 
end up damaging the paint.  Grrr.

Looks like it would be a fun car, though.
