Re: [MBZ] Which planet?

I might drive by there sometime this week and take a look at it, see 
what they think a "reasonable offer" might be.

The cupholders I refer to can be seen in picture three, residing

contraption.
Unless it is designed to hold spare oil and fuel filters? Rolled up 
magazines or perhaps some from of smartphone?


I have read some comments that the lesser of the compact Mercedes 
cars, pre the 201, as being the forerunner of the C class, this is 
perhaps hair splitting and somewhat wrong. However you must agree that 
way back when the numbers on the back determined the snob factor, 
running from the 170 up to the 600. Then letters started to creep in 
and the rest is history.

Mercedez (seller is perhaps a native Spanish speaker?) engine will last
forever (seller has ability to see into the future) or perhaps engine
does not run and hence will last forever?..

On what planet was a 123 called a C-Class? It's just another 
ivory-ish 123

240D. And the only cup holders would be on the end of each arm?
