Bidding topped out at $9600. Not outrageous, but someone overpaid...

Re: [MBZ] Manilla beige '82 300D on BAT
Which is why I gave up having an old car as a daily driver. I go too far too often. I was working on my car every week. As the 123 cars get into middle age it gets more difficult to keep them in really good shape... Well that and I hated driving them into the ground. Cars here don't wear out so much as fade away. -Curt On Monday, July 15, 2019, 10:03:59 PM EDT, Karl Wittnebel via Mercedes wrote: The thing is that car is more than half worn out.

The thing is that car is more than half worn out. It may keep clattering along for another 100k before the tranny is totally shot, and a lot of rubber looks like it was replaced, but the steering is going to be loose and the motor may need work. Turn signal stalk may go, no cruise, yada yada.

Pretty good money for a sedan. At least it had new half shafts. I keep wondering where the value is though. No mention of rebuilt head, new steering box, new transmission, or rebuilt turbo. All are wear items at that mileage. I was impressed that he got the vac pods out without removing the dash though. I may have a go at that.
