I sold my 1974 240D 4-speed for $1250 a year ago. You should be able to get at LEAST that for your 123 240D. On 6/20/05, Mathieu J. Cama <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > 1500 will get you a jalopy 240d that looks fair, meaning don't expect too > much. A good example in nice condition can pull in 3k.

if anything, swine underestimates the value. a solidly running 240D is worth $1500. in some areas, W123 Mercedes have virtually disappeared. you will not find many nice 240Ds anywhere. At 09:09 PM 6/19/2005, you wrote: you are on crack mac. Steve MacSween wrote: Bottom line is that any
