Re: [MBZ] DONKED -- An Edumacashun
I could drive out to Portland and fly back with my ill gotten gains. Not so fast hahahahaha! I'm looking for the RIGHT ONE, very little to no rust, good to excellent interior, strong engine, all in all, a nice, presentable driver. I've got nothin' but time to find it, and the longer I wait, the more money I can save up. It will most likely have to be a fly and drive trip since they're hard to find at reasonable prices around here. Kevin in Hillsboro, OR 1983 300SD 267K miles, Ursula
Re: [MBZ] DONKED -- An Edumacashun
What's an example of an UNreasonable Portland OR price for a 1983 300TD with some rust and 280 K miles?

Re: [MBZ] DONKED -- An Edumacashun
Thanks, teach. I have seen some and am amazed that they're legal. Much as I hate to say anything positive about the criminals and wannabe criminals that do this sort of thing, I agree that it's visually interesting. Reminds me of a Stomper toy - remember those? Disclaimer: Yes, I realize that as a punk kid who jacked up the rear end of his car with leaf spring shackles, and cruised around acting tough, I might have been considered a criminal wannabe by some too. But the whole pimp/gangsta vibe has much more to do with actual violence against innocent people. I wonder if these guys are confused as to why they can't take off quite as quickly as before they so dramatically lowered, numerically, their final drive ratio.

Re: [MBZ] DONKED -- An Edumacashun
DONK magazine has appeared on the stands in 7-11 up here in Toronto. I've yet to see any in the streets, though up here it makes sense - ground clearance for the snow. On that note, I took my summer tires in to get swapped at the local tire change place and the manager sold me a set of used original Benz rims that were in better condition than my own. Now I've finally got a summer and winter set of rims! Sweet.

Re: [MBZ] DONKED -- An Edumacashun
Tim 1982 300TD You didn't end up selling it! Great move! Either a W123 or W124 300TD Turbo Diesel will be my next Mercedes. W124 300TD's are going for at least 8K and for as much as 11K here in Portland, OR. I've even seen a few W123 'TD's for nearly that much. In top condition, my SD could fetch $5K if I ever was stupid enough to sell it. That car will still be around since it is quite nice, and if I actually put $3500 to have $5K invested in the car, it would be like new! It's still old enough to be vintage and easily repaired, and it's cushy enough and nice enough that Wifey likes it as much as I do. Kevin in Hillsboro, OR 1983 300SD 267K miles, Ursula
Re: [MBZ] DONKED -- An Edumacashun
How much is my somewhat rusty 1983 300TD with 280K miles and 3 thick service records worth? I've owned the vehicle since 89K miles and 1989. 1983 300TD 1985 300CD On 4/30/07, Kevin Kraly [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Tim 1982 300TD You didn't end up selling it! Great move!

Chuck, I was thinking that if I knew in advance that the price was right, I could drive out to Portland and fly back with my ill gotten gains.
