Re: [MBZ] How much would you pay for this 240D?

[Donald Snook via Mercedes]

Not me.  All those problems scared me off.  I have 3 vehicles now (two BMW 7 
series and my old Ford Pickup), so if I was going to buy another one, the 
"project" part of it has to be pretty minimal.  

I was very tempted last year by two cars I saw at an auction.  One was a 91 
300E with only 50,000 miles.  It was perfect.  Looked new.  I was thinking it 
might go as high as $6,000.  I think it sold for over $7500.  There was also an 
83 300CD that had over 200K Miles, but along with the car was three extremely 
organized binders of all the service work performed on the car since 1985.  It 
was really nice.  I don't remember how it much sold for.  I think it was over 
$5,000.

"A/C does not work may only need freon


Could be anything.


Blower motor doesn't work


Easy to replace on 123, you just need one.


Dashlights doesn't work


Dimmer blown.  Bypass, they're too dim anyway.


Odometer doesn't work


Gear.


Everything above could be a simple electrical fix"


But isn't.  Some of them _might_ be.

A/C: could be as simple as a fuse or a fresh charge of Freon, could be 
far more. You'd need a PPI from a competent Mercedes-Benz diesel 
mechanic (note that all four qualifications are required to produce a 
valid PPI).

Assume bad compressor  $1000.  Send it out.


Blower motor: could be fuse, brushes, or totally dead motor. I've 
never touched a 123.123 blower motor, but I think they are easier than 
a 124.

$150 if you do it, $450 if you send it out.  (Assume it needs a motor)


Dash lights: probably a bad contract in the rheostat. Easy fix, if 
you're handy with contact cleaner and/or a soldering iron. Worst case: 
need a replacement instrument cluster housing.
An hour with a HF soldering iron, flux and solder.  You will need a 2" 
wire out of an ethernet cable, or similar 20 to 24 ga wire.


Odometer: likely a slipping gear, could be a gear has disintegrated. 
Worst case you send the speedometer out for repair and calibration.
If you do it, an hour and a file and some epoxy.  If you send out the 
head, an hour and $300


Worst case, $1750 in expenses to fix those 4 things.  If the suspension 
and drive train are good, when you get done you will have a $3000 car.  
$1250 is still my top offer,  If the guy wants to fix all the neglected

unless you offer < $1k.

Re: [MBZ] How much would you pay for this 240D?

[Donald Snook via Mercedes]

I would definitely NOT drive it like it is – especially with no a/c.  But, I’m 
wondering what it would take to fix all those issues.  I agree $3K is way too 
high.  But, if those things were fixed and it really was in excellent 
condition, it could be a great purchase.   I am assuming the desireability of 
these is higher with a manual shift?  Right?

The list speaks of neglect.  How can you drive a car with all those little 
annoying problems?  Cumulatively they comprise motoring misery.

The first thing that comes to my mind is a bad ground(s), which "would" be a 
moderately simple fix.

I wonder how long the odometer has not been working.  160,000 miles is nothing. 
 It is very nice looking.  Is that black or a really dark blue?

I had to have the blower motor replaced on my 124 diesel and it was kind of a 
bear.  Is the blower motor as bad on these.   I am actually interested in this 
car if it is not a money pit.

I can't imagine "a simple electrical fix" that would solve all the listed 
problems. 

"A/C does not work may only need freon
Blower motor doesn't work
Dashlights doesn't work
Odometer doesn't work
Everything above could be a simple electrical fix" 

I wonder how long the odometer has not been working.  160,000 miles is nothing. 
 It is very nice looking.  Is that black or a really dark blue? 

I had to have the blower motor replaced on my 124 diesel and it was kind of a
