Re: [MBZ] Fully restored 1975 300D on BAT

2023-12-15 Thread Randy Bennell via Mercedes
Well, If I was able to swap my car for a 300SD in comparable condition, 
I might be prepared to do so, but apart from that, I think I am quite 
happy to keep what I have. New cars are much too complicated. I like my 
simple old car, and barring any bad luck, I should be able to drive it 
for the rest of my days.


Rising values (assuming that is happening) are not a bad thing. 
Hopefully, that will prevent more from being scrapped and sold for 
parts. Repairing rougher vehicles may be worthwhile if the values are 
high enough.

Jeepers! I would hardly call that totally restored. Read the comment by the 
previous owner about all that is still wrong with it.

I think my car is at least as good at that one. I would need to touch up a few 
things cosmetically to make it look as good but my car is really very good.

I think the buyer overpaid.
