Re: [MBZ] Pricing a 240 for sale
thread a few weeks ago about the 240D Rusty was selling for a ... another person. Totally perfect, needs nothing, sweet chariot=$4000. Much discussion about market value of a 240D ensues.

Re: [MBZ] Pricing a 240 for sale
if anything, swine underestimates the value. a solidly running 240D is worth $1500. in some areas, W123 Mercedes have virtually disappeared. you will not find many nice 240Ds anywhere.

Re: [MBZ] Pricing a 240 for sale
I hear diesel MBs are all the rage in Costa Rica right now due to gas prices that are $4.00/gallon. Old 240s and 300s and are being shipped down there.

Re: [MBZ] Pricing a 240 for sale
I sold my 1974 240D 4-speed for $1250 a year ago. You should be able to get at LEAST that for your 123 240D. On 6/20/05, Mathieu J. Cama [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: 1500 will get you a jalopy 240d that looks fair, meaning don't expect too much. A good example in nice condition can pull in 3k. Spectacular ones have gone for well over 4k. Diesels are back in demand and thus prices have been going up steadily for over a year. I get more phone calls from folks seeking nice examples of MB diesels than I do for any other car, currently.

Re: [MBZ] Pricing a 240 for sale
My 240d 3.0 is not for sale. I have way too much in it, especially now that is has a low mile euro 3.0 in it. I plan to use this vehicle as a test bed for WVO and bio diesel mods. I plan on configuring custom injectors and with the help of the fellow who does IPs for me we will play with pump settings. I bought that car from a customer who moved onto a 300sd. That car has been in my service since it had 108k on the clock. Now it has around 177k. Zero rust, clean '83 240ds are hard to come by that have been maintained to a T. Plus it is a manny tranny car. If your 240 was a nice example, you sold it for too little. Mathieu Cama At 11:28 AM 6/20/2005, you wrote: I sold my 1974 240D 4-speed for $1250 a year ago.

RE: [MBZ] Pricing a 240 for sale
Gary, Assuming it runs, the value ranges $900.00 - $6000.00, unless Kaleb is buying it, in which case they are all worth $500.00 Not long ago, Rusty sold an excellent daily driver for somewhere around $4500.00 and I believe the buyer got a great deal. The value varies because everything depends on condition. You can easily throw $2.000.00 under the hood of a Mercedes in one weekend. So, you need to assess the vehicles condition.
