Re: [MBZ] Sad local 1983 300SD on BAT

[clay via Mercedes]

Allen was free.  And I got lots of spare parts, or parts that had been removed 
and are less than spectacular.  At this point it is going to be a hodge podge 
of upgraded parts, but a bit more complete when I get done.  

Based on the work done on both Allen and Polei, I think a decent running car is 
in the $3k range.  And now, my w220 is valued at about that.

You have to credit the clean interior, low mileage and ownership pedigree.

Yeah, that's nuts, but it's what I've been finding as I've looked for one 
myself.

Re: [MBZ] Sad local 1983 300SD on BAT

[Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes]

Actually, the interior is very clean so maybe no quite so sad as I had
thought.  Engine is suspicious due to surface rust and air cleaner missing
a nut.  Undercarriage suspension bits have surface rust.  I know Silver
Star - the local shop.  Used to drive my W111 3.5 coupe over there from NW
DC b/c they had a German mechanic (owner) who was very careful.
Eventually, he gently asked me to stop coming b/c there was less profit for
him working on such an old car.  :(

Why is it sad?

And yes, someone is already overpaying at the current $3005 bid.

That being said, values on these cars has gone up significantly in the recent 
past.
