Geeze, the inlaws visit for a weekend and my email is backlogged again...
Zeb: I'm looking to get between 1/2 to 2/3 of what I've already put into it, which is about $7500 Cdn. It's a good driver and can either be a project, which is what I bought it for at the time, or with a good indy, a daily driver. I drove it the 120 kms round-trip to work a couple times lately and it behaved very well. Lately, it's been starting the most reliably since I've had it, probably because my indy replaced the old alternator, but the warm temps haven't hurt. It likes the block heater on cooler mornings though. If you want to PPI it, feel feel to email me offlist. Kevin: I know exactly what you're saying. The wife has a particular fondness for the 123, though she's never driven it. She likes the antiquity and the ride quality, which is actually nicer than my 124. It just floats over bumps while the 124 has a stiffer ride. Gotta love the taka-taka-taka of the OM617 engine too. This is one car I don't mind driving slow, but the 124 is much nicer at higher speeds. Too bad it needs some work - stalling at idle when warm and a worn wheel bearing in the rear, I think. Otherwise a fine car.

I've decided to try and find two older mercs to replace what my Dad and I currently have as daily drivers. Reading all the posts on the list, I'd like to try a diesel, but two older gasers with proper maintance would be ok too. I was thinking, a wagon, and an older S Class, or a wagon and sedan E Class. If anyone knows of any, in good shape (no rust), and well serviced, please let me know. I'm in the ON Canada area. Willing to pay a fair price for the right cars, but not really interested in projects, especially this time of year. hee hee. I would want to PPI the cars, and I'm not an eBay buyer. Thanks in advance for any help.

Take it from me, the frequent buyer/seller! If you sell it, you'll kind of wish you had it, especially when the money isn't there to go out and buy another one like it. Of course, at that time, there are quite a few that you'd really like to get your hands on. Hang onto the TD! Kevin in Hillsboro, OR 1983 300SD 265K miles, Ursula
