Re: [MBZ] Posted my wagon to eBay
Geeze, the inlaws visit for a weekend and my email is backlogged again... Zeb: I'm looking to get between 1/2 to 2/3 of what I've already put into it, which is about $7500 Cdn. It's a good driver and can either be a project, which is what I bought it for at the time, or with a good indy, a daily driver. I drove it the 120 kms round-trip to work a couple times lately and it behaved very well. Lately, it's been starting the most reliably since I've had it, probably because my indy replaced the old alternator, but the warm temps haven't hurt. It likes the block heater on cooler mornings though. If you want to PPI it, feel feel to email me offlist. Kevin: I know exactly what you're saying. The wife has a particular fondness for the 123, though she's never driven it. She likes the antiquity and the ride quality, which is actually nicer than my 124. It just floats over bumps while the 124 has a stiffer ride. Gotta love the taka-taka-taka of the OM617 engine too. This is one car I don't mind driving slow, but the 124 is much nicer at higher speeds. Too bad it needs some work - stalling at idle when warm and a worn wheel bearing in the rear, I think. Otherwise a fine car.

the taka-taka-taka of the OM617 engine I can tell any Mercedes diesel by sound, something about the way everything is so rhythmic and refined. The vac pump thump and the diesel sound isn't like any other. Kevin in Hillsboro, OR 1983 300SD 265K miles, Ursula

Whoops, a little backed up on emails. The wagon didn't meet reserve. I've yet to decide what to do with it, as my wife and I still kind of want to hang onto it.

Re: [MBZ] Posted my wagon to eBay
The car is certified in Ontario. The brakes and shocks were replaced a little over a week ago in order to certify it. The rust wasn't there that I saw when the body was repainted. There was a small disc of surface rust on the tailgate prior to painting and I haven't seen anything from it after the paint job. That's about the extent of the rust then, it was really quite good.
