If you do some searching for these nationwide, typical asking price is between $7-$12k. So, buying one for $5k and spending a bit on repairs wouldn't be unexpected. If it's clean and runs well, $5k is a really good deal, IMO.
If anyone finds a 90-93 W124 diesel for sale - with ASD and heated seats - I'm interested. Even better if it's somewhere on the west coast. For some reason almost all of them are on the east coast, d'oh. =) -dm > ------------------------------ > Date: Fri, 10 Mar 2006 18:07:22 -0600 > From: "Rick Knoble" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: [MBZ] w124 diesel value > > > > > I paid $5000 for my 1992 300D. 286Kmi, new transmission at 200K, new > > timing chain, valve job, and head gasket at 150Kmi.
