Doubt it.

CarFax maintenance records are spotty, at best, because they rely on service 
providers to self report. I would want to see the owner’s service records and a 
VMI. If a new engine was installed in 2000, it was likely done by a dealer 
under a warranty or recall campaign, as the car would only have been a year old 
at that time.

Salvage (branded) title immediately kills the value. Paint looks like it might 
be a little sketchy, too.

Not too dire, just replace it or the axle with one from a junker or a 
new one.  Can't be that hard.  I'd be all over that if it was nearby but 
being in vermint one would have to look out for rust.

Not true.  Craigslist now charges to list cars.  Monthly, I think.  It destroyed

There is no cost to list it. If he has no need to sell it, why not wait for
the one fool? He would be a fool not to. Time is on his side. See this on

Yeah I told the guy to change the conductor plate, $250 fix, 4hr in the 
driveway and then he might get $3k from the right buyer but as it stood 
it was worth maybe $2.  I also told him I bought my daughter the exact

He thanked me and the post keeps getting reposted every few days with

Re: [MBZ] wagon build

2015-09-11 Thread Karl Wittnebel via Mercedes
Yes I am thinking om606 in w124. I stopped learning about mercedes wagons
after the 1987 model year. If you tell me 1995 wagon is a better body, I
will believe you, but when did anyone do a 606 swap on one of those? What
number is that? w201 or 202?

If people are paying 14k for cars like this one:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1984-Mercedes-Benz-300-Series-/351426194895?rmvSB=true=true=JZXcunjQNT8cx6LAFr%252BUHAFP8KQ%253D_cvip=true=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

then I am in good shape. My car is better than that. Flaring 1st? Puh-leez!
Try a sledgehammer shift into 2nd and tight in every other gear. Revs to
5500, though I am usually not looking at the tach at that point, waiting
for the shift to 2nd...

15k for this one not far from me, and it looks like SLS is messed up:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/261970523668?rmvSB=true

I guess the carpet pays for itself. I will say that the loop carpet in that
picture looks nothing like what came with my car from the factory, but oh
well. I will put a call in to the Armenians in the valley at GAHH or
whatever it is called.

Thanks for the feedback.

What is the drivetrain from?

No reserve is the way to get people fired up. I sold a rather rusty but
mechanically solid 1963 190dc sedan for almost 3K that way. Just let 'er

What is with all the slammo wagon spring mutilators? That thing looks like
it would shake your eye teeth out.

If someone would actually race one, I could see the point. But that thing
isn't even a diesel. Pshaw.

Did they really run the w124 from 1987 through to 1995? Holy cow that is a
long time.

Re: [MBZ] wagon build

2015-09-11 Thread Max Dillon via Mercedes
Karl,

Your 123 wagon is probably worth $5k or more on eBay.  

Are you looking for an '87 wagon or sedan to hot rod?  Wagons are somewhat 
rare, and usually neglected and beat up.  124 wagons are generally sold for 
less than 123 wagons.

My current dream is an OM606 turbo in a '95 wagon body.

Re: [MBZ] wagon build

2015-09-11 Thread Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes
I'm gearing up to sell my repainted 1985 300TD, diamond blue with a
near-flawless dark blue interior, after market third seat, working A/C, and
roof racks.  It has a replacement drive train but so what?  Should be an
interesting ebay auction.  The toughest part will be settling on a reserve
price...

Why not, if it's nice?

You can always do a "second chance offer" if it doesn't meet the reserve.

Just remember that eBay will rape you on fees. It's a necessary evil, but where 
else will you get that kind of exposure?

With that in mind, you might want to consider signing up for BenzWorld and 
listing it there. It doesn't cost anything and you'll get good exposure, albeit 
much more discerning buyers.

The point being is that it will be mostly MB people who know the car well and 
will often pick nits. I don't expect you'll get top dollar there for just that 
reason, unless the car is really outstanding.

If you want to get top dollar, I would say go to eBay.  People pay stupid money 
for stuff there, and you've also got the "I'm going to beat you even though I'm 
paying far more than it's worth" mentality, too.

Of course, you can always try Craigslist if you want the lowballers, can you 
finance it for me, and the no-shows.

Reminds me, I've got to do something about the new/sacked out springs on the
S420.
The boxes said Lesjofors, the car sat a little high when I put it together,
dropped
to level overnight, and was almost as bad as the broken original springs after
one
mile. That was four months ago, now it's worse than the broken springs.

Re: [MBZ] wagon build

2015-09-10 Thread Dan Penoff via Mercedes
In my case, I didn't realize the springs were different until about three 
months after I bought them. I sent a message to the eBay seller and they wanted 
all the details as far as application. When that didn't pan out, they got 
Lesjofors involved. Despite photographs of the springs side by side clearly 
showing they were different, Lesjofors just threw their hands up and said I 
must have had some sort of one-off version of a W140. I disputed that by 
showing them the EPC page with my VIN showing the proper MB part number, which 
they said it was in their application guide.

Never heard back from them. Fortunately, the seller was really good about 
taking them back and was involved in the whole process of trying to sort things 
out.

In my case, the stock spring was flared out towards the top by a good inch or 
more. The spring that Lesjofors said was the correct one was the same diameter 
the whole length of the spring.  They even checked the others they had for W140 
applications and said that none of them were like mine.

That's been my first foray into MB springs. It just reinforced the lesson of 
going to the dealer for the part.

The Lesjofors catalog info on the ebay listings seems dodgy. 
For some years, including 97, they list the same spring for the S500 and S420
For other years, they list the same spring for S320 and S420.
I'd seen comments on Benzworld that the S500 springs were too stiff and made the
car ride high. 
The EPC had 3 springs, and for my car specified the weakest spring with 3 nub or
4 nub spacers.

So I bought the "S320" springs on eBay (which were $50-60 cheaper than the
"S500") and 4 nub
spacers from the dealer. 
The result was the only bad spring experience I've ever had in my life, not that
I've
replaced many coil springs. Maybe I should have used JC Whitney springs like I
did when I put
the trailer hitch on my Plymouth Horizon. I think I went to Carquest when my '95
Taurus broke
a spring. 

I do still need to contact Lesjofors and see what, if anything, they will do. If
they tell
me I have counterfeit springs, I'm going to kick myself $113 worth for not doing
something
through Paypal/eBay in a timely fashion. 

I contacted the eBay seller, who wanted specific info on my car to check and see
if I bought
the "right" springs. I sent him the whole story, beginning with the model, year,
and VIN.
He responded that I sent him a blank message. I replied again, and he never
responded.
Looking back on it, I wish I'd filed an eBay complaint at that point.

Re: [MBZ] wagon build

2015-09-10 Thread Karl Wittnebel via Mercedes
I am thinking of going 87. Can't bring myself to hot rod the 85 and thereby
reduce whatever value it has to virtually nothing.

Which begs the question, what does a totally rust-free 85 tdt with a new
tranny, rebuilt turbo and top end go for these days with everything but the
center vents working and newish paint? It is actually almost a fast car;
goes like hell after the new head and turbo. Been running synthetic since
82k; has 189k now. Interior presentable but could use new carpet in back
and passenger front. Headliner is fine, sunroof manual, no vacuum leaks.
Basically totally functional but no blow from center vents so I guess that
is next. AC cold, new controller. Yada yada. You get the idea; very good
shape.

SLS is pretty simple.  Most complex part is the dual pump on some. 
It is supposedly not rebuildable, but Q got a kit for me and I

Re: [MBZ] Wagon

2013-10-21 Thread Rich Thomas
That is the same color as my 79, on which the body is rusting out but 
has good mechanicals and runs pretty well.  I don't drive it much, it 
would be a good beater for a kid, or mash it up with that thing and come 
up with a half-decent car.
