Good point, I didn't notice the pictures and the time of year. That's what classic car insurance like Hagerty is for. They'll do higher values if you've got the supporting documentation and are willing to spring for it. -D From: Mercedes on behalf of Allan Streib via Mercedes Sent: Sunday, February 20, 2022 2:44 PM To: Mercedes Discussion List Cc: Allan Streib Subject: Re: [MBZ] 1984 300SD - 78k miles - $21,000 Since the photos are from summertime I guess it's been for sale for a while.

No good doors or fenders? Hood or trunk lid? Sunroof cable/motor/rails? Axles? Diff? Driveshaft? 14" bundt forged wheels? Worth the price if it had 15" bundt forged wheels.

My suspicion is that the engine was run out of oil and now has a knock or something and the guy is trying to dump it. The story about the oil leak and not wanting to junk the car kind of point to why the price is so low. Same shop is selling an '87 wagon that supposedly has a good engine but rotten body, maybe get both and upgrade the 126 with an OM603, SLS rear suspension?

I have to be out of town this weekend so can't go look at it. If you get a chance might you be able to find out what he would take for it, start at $300 and go maybe to $400.

I did not talk to the car owner, only Hans the shop owner. Hans said the motor is good, but front suspension, oil cooler lines, and motor mounts are bad. There was all kinds of personal junk in the car, shoes and tools and you name it. Vacuum locks didn't work, had to unlock everything by key / hand. I did not try to start the car, as Hans said it leaks too much oil. If I needed a car and had time for a project, it could be fun.

Re: [MBZ] 1984 300SD MUST GO - $599
I would only offer about $300 or $400. I did not talk to the car owner, only Hans the shop owner. Hans said the motor is good, but front suspension, oil cooler lines, and motor mounts are bad. There was all kinds of personal junk in the car, shoes and tools and you name it. Vacuum locks didn't work, had to unlock everything by key / hand. I did not try to start the car, as Hans said it leaks too much oil. If I needed a car and had time for a project, it could be fun.
