I judge it to be some really badly done bondo, with rust under the bondo.
Just a guess, but that quarter panel got a serious hit and was repaired by
a body hack with poor skills.

Well I had my new ML350 health checked today at the Mercedes dealer. On bad

Yeah it looks nice so at least it wasn’t beat on. If the guy values it that
highly one would guess he took care of it maintenance wise. Doesn’t seem like
he’s that interested to sell it. Or maybe he’s just an idiot.

I guess. It’s in really good cosmetic shape considering the age and miles, I’m
just not real confident about an M117 with 300k on it unless it was

Does a bare cargo van really go for this much money?

Good point. In reality, would it be unrealistic to think that any car with
nearly 300k on the clock would have that sort of value unless it was some sort
of unicorn?
I talked to the guy and he’s not terribly forthcoming with information. I tried
to tease as much as I could out of him, as I
At some point he has to realize no one wants his boat anchor at that
price. he was complaining weeks ago that shops had no openings until

This is becoming somewhat entertaining. At this point I would LOBALL $1k.
I wonder when he's moving and will want to unload it quick

You think people post ads having an "honest" mistaken or emotional idea what

Do you think there is any chance that the engine is sucking oil or trans
fluid etc in somehow and running without the normal fuel feed and
parking it nose up removes the source of fuel? Sort of a run away diesel
but at idle speed?

Talked to someone on the net this morning who has a 1980 W123 300CD that
does not want to shut off. Neither the vacuum shutdown nor the emergency
shutoff under the hood would stop the engine. They discovered that if
they parked it on an incline with the nose up, it would stop.
My question is
Could it just be that the latch mechanism needs some lubrication? My
hood release was getting hard to pull but a bit of oil improved it
dramatically.

Yeah it feels normal opening and closing, other than getting it to unlatch when

Good day all,
My W116 300SD's rear driver's side exterior door handle requires an
increasingly FORCEFUL tug to open the door. I know I have adjusted this
once before, but cannot find the information in the factory manuals or in
my email from this list.
