Re: [MBZ] The rental

Typically homeowners covers water damage. The usaa guy told me it is their #1 claim. They even have water detectors you put under your floors that connect to the wifi and alert you to problems; they came out and gave us a bunch. File a claim and get it fixed. On Sat, Aug 8, 2020, 2:00 PM Kaleb

Re: [MBZ] Up for your consideration is a very unique and well kept Mercedes Benz 300CD Turbo Diesel Coupe!

Bigger diameter/width wheels enable lower profile/wider tires. The cars are pretty good in corners with a bigger contact patch. On Thu, Aug 6, 2020, 11:09 AM Andrew Strasfogel wrote: > I agree. What's the point of all that gaudiness on a plain jane car? > > On Thu, Aug 6, 2020 at 2:0

Re: [MBZ] W210 vs. W211

Yes the wave of the future is 123 body with 648 motor and a 722.6. Just enough nannies and power to feel like you are in the right century. Speaking of which, does anyone have a taller 123 or 116 rear end sitting around? Like 2.6? 1st gear is pretty useless with this motor and the 3.06 or whatever

Re: [MBZ] (Rare),(SELLING FOR $8,000) E 420

He may not get 8 for it but if the body is clean, engine wiring and throttle body have been relpaced, rear end bushings are done and the transmission works it is probably a 5-6k car out here. My mechanic had one in the other day. Motor had run low on oil. Timing chain tensioner lost pressure.
