A little high if you ask me, but not surprising. $3,000 would have been the top end of the range, I would think. If any of the concerns about water intrusion are legitimate, it’s not worth Kaleb money. I would think you could pull up the carpets and tell in a matter of seconds. I’m still a

Ended at $3250. Seems very reasonable to me for that car. Retail. Not reasonable for what I would pay for it though. Sent from my iPhone > On Jan 30, 2017, at 1:31 PM, Dan Penoff via Mercedes > wrote: > > They look correct to me. The side bolsters have a slightly

That car is all the reasons why you shouldn’t own a W123 coupe. I’ll be amazed if it goes much higher. And if you look at the comments (I’ve got some in there) someone just noticed something about it being driven through high water on one of the service tickets. Ouch. -D > On Jan 30, 2017,
