[MBZ] OT 2014 Beetle TDI Convertible RIP

[Kevin Kraly via Mercedes]

As of 2:40 PM PDT, I no longer own the 2014 beetle!  According to the TDI 
ambassador, this Beetle will probably be sold elsewhere, possibly south 
America, since there is no legal fix for it to drive here in the states. At 
least that Beetle  gave me a great introduction to the TDI experience and lead 
me down the path toward the even better 2015!! The new Beetle will be in the 
stable for many years to come!

[MBZ] Speaking of the 300D

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

(124)   It rolled up 300,000 miles a few weeks ago.  It had about 150k 
when I got it from some dude in Memphis.  It has an autohaus (Dallas) 
stealer tag on it, as does the 240D.  Somehow we found out it had been 
through the big Dallas charity auction.  It was badly neglected, but now 
it runs great and drives like a track car.  It is great fun to drive.  
Hare and turtle compared to the 240D.(turtle)

[MBZ] Fuel hose

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

Looks like it will be time this fall to replace all the rubber fuel 
hoses on the 300D (124).  I changed all of them at one itme and used 
flaps hose, maybe 8-9 years ago.  That is pretty good life out of flaps 
hose.
Do any of you buy german fuel hose, and if so, where do you find it.  
7.5mm or something like that.

I'll bet with a little creativity, some "hint hint wink wink", a few other

On second thought, maybe I don't want to know, maybe I like Dan as Dan.  Yeah,

to catch the barrel!

I was hired by Progressive Insurance to defend a MB versus horse case 
several years ago. It was an ML. The owner/rider was walking it across 
the street from the arena where they held a barrel racing competition. 
It was at night and not well lit. The horse was very dark brown and 
the ML came around a corner and hit the horse. It was injured but did 
not have to be put down. But, it was never going to barrel race again. 
It was a bad deal because there was a lot of fault to go around. The 
horse was a previous barrel racing national champion. Working on that 
case introduced me to a whole new world. It is amazing how much money 
is spent on horses and barrel racing!


By the way, the ML took the hit and kept on ticking. It need some 
minor bodywork, but nothing terrible.

[MBZ] Nice 280E for sale

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

Near Mao's territory, but south of mao.  SW burbs of Chitcago:  Not mine 
etc.  Belongs to a neighbor of a friend of mine.


Seller's description:

"The car is a 1983 280E, W123, M110 engine I6, bought in Germany and 
transported to California, this model was not sold in the US, the last 
US 280E sold in the US I believe was 1981.  There are ~143K miles on the 
car.  The car starts without any problem and is quite fun to drive. 
There is oxidation of the paint on the roof of the car, and two dings 
from being hit by a falling tree branch on the hood and passenger side 
fender while in California.  The wheel well on the passenger side rear 
panel has a small ding in it as well. The antenna motor is present and 
works, along with an aftermarket radio with CD player, probably 
installed on the car's second trip to Germany in 1990.  The moon roof 
motor is conspicuously absent from the car, not sure when or why it was 
removed.  All of the power windows work, including the passenger 
sideview mirror motor.  As is usually the case, the vacuum actuated 
locking mechanism is in need of repair because of leaky diaphragms, but 
the keys work fine to lock the car up.


I had the car mechanically inspected about a year ago and there are no 
major mechanical repairs required, mostly deferred maintenance, and most 
of the required repairs have to do with aging rubber components such as 
the tires, belts and hoses, and most recently the gasket for the 
transmission pan (I am not sure when the trans fluid was last changed).  
The oil and filter was changed last fall.  The battery is new this 
spring.  I replaced the fuel hose from the tank to the fuel pump a year 
ago, and also some leaking fuel hoses near the injector.


The upholstery on the seats is in good condition except for a patched 
hole on the driver seat.  As customary with MBZ of this age, the seats 
are comfortably German.  The back seats were covered with seat covers 
for as long as I can remember.  I removed them this past spring and the 
upholstery is in good condition without any staining.  The lid to the 
first aid kit is cracked but all the pieces are present.  The owners 
manuals, in German, are with the car."



Curley I have pictures.  On a glance, I did not see 
oxidation on the paint, but you can judge for yourself.   Let me know if 
you are interested, I will put you in contact and send pictures.  It

Did that and it says buyer has not provided or asked for contact. 
Or something like that. Anyway no way to contact him. If there 
was I would ask him to accept credit card through Paypal which is 
what I usually do as it doesn't require a paypal account.

I have not really heard if those were good or not. I do remember seeing a

Re: [MBZ] NY crackhead

[G Mann via Mercedes]

I am very open, time wise. The damaged window is now covered in clear 2
inch wide packing tape to keep it together, has vinyl film on the inside so
it's a "glass sandwich" for now water tight and cloudy, but operational
as a fixed rear side window.

So, your option as to when you want to pull the donor window and ship it.
Somewhere along the way, give me a price and I'll of course pay packing and
shipping to get it here safely.

Re: [MBZ] Green C124 Cab on BAT

[Mitch Haley via Mercedes]

Found a newer greenie, somebody talk me out of it. 
2014 Cruze diesel, 90k mi, two owner (2nd owner put 22k on it in about 8 
months, wonder why they ditched it so quickly?) dark green, light tan leather.
They were only available with 6sp automatic so the computer could run the revs 
up for automated DPF cleaning, no provision for manual cleaning cycle other 
than paying the dealer $150 to hook it up to GM's network and have GM initiate 
the cycle. Used car dealer asking $10k, Edge Pipeline's sold car search tells 
me one like it would probably go around $8k at auction.

If I bought it, I'd take it to the dealer for the latest NOx recall, which 
includes a manual regen, then drive it home and yank the cleaned DPF out of it 
and flash the computer. Powertrain warranty expires in another 9k miles anyway. 
I bet I could get 60mpg out of it at 70mph.

Re: [MBZ] '88 Jeep Wagoneer on BAT

[Donald Snook via Mercedes]

These are routinely selling for this much or more.  There have been several 
that have sold for $50K and $60K.   I agree its crazy. But, the market is so 
insanely hot for these right now.   The Wagonmaster Pedigree (if true) will 
help the price go higher.   

I want one of these.  But, I will never be willing to pay $40K or more.

On glass there is no deductible on my policy.  I think that is a general 
thing but check yours.  I had the windshield on the Sub replaced a 
coupla years ago, no cost.  Took maybe 2 hours at the shop, most of the 
time was waiting for the glue to cure enough to drive it out.

Re: [MBZ] '88 Jeep Wagoneer on BAT

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

Theres a rabid following for those but this one seems over the top. Theres some 
outfit that buys low mile units like this one, refurbishes them to like new and 
they sell for this kind of money but a survivor, I dunno...
They are real body on frame Jeeps with offroad cred but awful hard on gas.

Re: [MBZ] NY crackhead

[Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes]

The fixed glass pane on my rear driver's side door shattered although the
glass is still solid (it now looks frosted) due to a BB or pebble.  Does
anyone know the part number for the glass?  This is the narrow stationary
pane on  a W123 300TD  wagon (probably different from the 123 sedan).

Re: [MBZ] NON-MB Crackhead pricing

[Donald Snook via Mercedes]

I was seriously considering bidding on a previous 1990 Suburban.  It was 
perfect. I think it had less than 100K miles.  But, when it went over $10K, I 
was out.   It sold for $13,900.   This one is truly insane.  I suppose the 
right buyer might pay $20K since it has such low mileage.  But, $40K.   I 
wonder if the seller is trying to attract attention and then when he lists it 
for $20K, he thinks he might have some interest.

It is a very nice looking Suburban.  But not $40,000 nice!!!

The headliner is sagging.

No photos of the engine.

I see no rust in the usual spots

The blue interior seems to fail sooner than other colors, but cloth seats and

Re: [MBZ] Now's Your Chance!

[Mitch Haley via Mercedes]

Not much you can do for the $3-4k repair limit on that car. 
Seems like everything worth under $10k market value is a nearly automatic total 
because you can't fix it for 3/4 of market value any more.

Re: [MBZ] Now's Your Chance!

Uni-body and a hit like that will twist it. So step 1 is to chain it onto a

It wouldn't be hard to do but it'll take lots of time and time is money and its 
not that rare or valuable a car...

Re: [MBZ] '88 Jeep Wagoneer on BAT

[Floyd Thursby via Mercedes]

Those were the cars of swells back then, urban assault vehicles of the 
day for Mipsy to take the chirruns to soccer practice and her tennis 
lessons.


I recall once being out at Great Point on Nantucket, which is like 7 or 
10 miles or something out on the beach/sand tracks, you have to be 
prepared for eventualities because a tow back to civilization can cost 
big money.  We were out there in my 87 Blazer, a full-size beast, very 
agricultural machine.  I always took tools, boards, shovels, compressor, 
tow straps, gas can, etc.  None of that took up much room but it was 
essential.  We were out there for the day and good part of the evening, 
fishing, grilling, etc.  Some swell in his yuppy clothes with Mipsy and 
the kids in their preppy dress haul up in one of those and park maybe 
100ft away, unload their picnic hampers, etc. spread out the LLBean 
blankets and such and proceed to do their thing, eat some brie and stuff 
they bought at the high-end deli or got the cook to make something.  
They stay a coupla hours then load up and get ready to head out.  I 
don't know if the guy didn't know how to use the vehicle or what, didn't 
engage 4WD or something, but in about 10 seconds he was mired up to the 
axles in the soft sand.  He gets out and stares at the situation for 
awhile, he and Mipsy start trying to dig out sand with their hands which 
was not going anywhere.  I had a beer while watching this spectacle, my 
wife finally tells me I need to go help the guy.  So I wander over and 
chat with him a bit, it is is clear he is some Nooyawk yuppy banker 
asshole or something who had no fnclue as to what he was doing, but 
wanted to do it for the experience to tell all his nooyawk ahole buds 
back at the bank how much cooler he was than them.  And get some use out 
of the expensive Jeep he bought for Mipsy.  I asked him if he had a 
shovel (no), boards (no), had aired down his tars (??huh?), etc. etc.  
By this time he was feeling properly chastised so I says come with me, 
he takes off his Topsiders and follows me to the truck.  I pull out the 
shovels (those little folding military entrenching tools, amazingly 
handy, you can make a hoe, shovel, pick, etc.) and some boards, toss 
them on the sand and say "Here ya go."  He stands there and looks at 
them then finally says, "What do I do with him."  By this time I am 
actually starting to feel a bit sorry for his sorry ass, so I open up a 
shovel and explain "you dig out the sand with this in front of the 
wheels and under the truck" then put these boards under your wheels and 
try to drive out of the holes you just dug."  So he totes the stuff 
over, he and Mipsy start kinda halfassedly digging.  I crack another 
beer and watch this for awhile, finally my wife is laughing and saying 
you really need to go help the guy.  I was rather enjoying the show but 
my better self overtook me so I take him a beer and ask if he needs any 
help, by this time he would have paid me good money to solve his 
problem.  He also really liked the beer, I think they had just brought 
some chardonnay or something to sip, WTF kind of dude does that?  I 
think my daughter even came over to play with the kids or something to 
give Mipsy a break.  So anyway after awhile we get the sand dug out, the 
boards under the tars (which I aired down to 8psi), I tell him to give 
it a go.  Of course he did not put it in 4WD (I have no idea how he 
managed to get out there like that, but there you go), I think that 
vehicle had manual hubs, so he promptly dug the rear into the sand 
again, which we then proceeded to dig out again.  By this time Mipsy was 
in a total state of pissoff at the guy, probably missing her spa 
appointment or something, so by then I was actually feeling sorry for 
him, what little manhood he had was now completely eliminated.  Totally 
emasculated.  So then with my expert instruction (including showing how 
to actually engage 4WD), and I might have put a tow strap on my truck to 
help pull him out, I don't recall, and another beer or two I finally get 
him out of the hole.  He actually wanted to give me some money, I got 
all offended and told him no man this is how things work out here, 
everyone helps out, and tell him DO NOT STOP UNTIL YOU GET BACK so he 
wouldn't mire down again.  We did not see the vehicle on our way back 
late that night, so I am guessing he made it, and maybe learned some 
man-lessons in the experience.  Nooyawkers, Lawnguylanduhs, what a 
seriously sorry lot.

Stupid price but OMG what a beautiful color, which is actually rather

IIRC Randy's is the same shade of red.  The price is insane of course.

Re: [MBZ] Club event car

[Floyd Thursby via Mercedes]

A buddy of mine has a 66 230SL 4spd hat looks like that, and is original 
white body, black interior.  It is gorgeous.  He used to have Corvettes 
when he was younger and kept breaking them, someone told him this would 
be better so he traded a Vette and some dinero for it.  Said it was the 
best car deal he ever made, got him hooked on Benzes.  He never had any 
trouble with it other than regular maintenance, everything is extremely 
simple on it.  It is a true sports car, you have to actually DRIVE the 
car, rev the engine, work the gears, etc.  peppy enough, not fast by 
today's standards, but fun as hell.

Re: [MBZ] So What Do You Do....

The 2012 ML has a metal key in the fob, I guess it might work the doors, 
I never looked to see if they had a mechanical lock.  You can pull the 
round plastic button off the push to shart/stop and there is a 
mechanical switch under that the key can go into if the fob is dead.

acquaintance, he rowed at the old club at the Hatch Shell on the Charles 
Rivvuh.  I would see him at the show and chat him up.  The car was very 
nice, he had bought it used but fairly new in England ages ago.  Was 
pretty fast, he drove it regularly, was not a trailer queen.  I think it 
was probably worth a lot, even 20ish years ago when I would see him and

Curley, 
I prefer Mann filters also for my old 617 diesels. However, I have used STP 
filters and was pleasantly surprised and happy with them. I find them sometimes 
at AutoZone. 
Just a suggestion. 
Best Wishes,

Re: [MBZ] Anybody in indiana?

[Jaime Kopchinski via Mercedes]

Nothing yet... I asked the auction house for a VIN and photos of the
engine. Also if it's running and if they have a title.

After some careful research, I determined that the shifter couldn't be
original in this car.  Which means possible engine swap, which kills it for
me.

Let's see what they respond with.

Jaime
