[MBZ] Sprinter Reliability

Hello Dieselers. As I mentioned a couple days ago, I’m considering a Sprinter van to replace the 2017 Honda Odyssey as the family/K9 hauler. Our three Doodle puppies are growing larger, and we are also having two more Goldendoodles raised to be our next guide dogs. In just over a year, we will

Careful what you wish for Andrew.  Some things what you wish for comes to pass.  The senator you referred to would beAmy Klobuchar (J) or Tina Smith (J). Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes December 3, 2019 at 2:35 PM Sounds like the beginnings of a great screenplay.

He would have to read the law, as I suggested earlier.   I have no idea what SC laws are, but in IA, the landowner can secure title for a vehicle abandoned on their property.   Otherwise it has to done through a tow company. Tow companies require a license and bond in most places, again, I

Sounds like the beginnings of a great screenplay. Look out for blood residue in the trunk and a scrap of paper under the rear seat with a Swiss bank account # scribbled on it. And of course, a bag of high grade coke in the locked glove box along with a business card from a prominent US Senator.

I'm not making any claims about noncompliance rates until after the deadline has passed. Keeping your guns until the deadline is not noncompliance, it's simply the logical thing to do. Turning them in months before you have to is silly. Having waited this long, the remaining gun owners now

Re: [MBZ] So this "abandoned" S55..

There is also the Vermont title option, but you'd have to pay 7% tax on whatever the state claims the NADA value of the car is in perfect condition.   For a 1980 240D worth $1000 or less, NADA says it  is worth over $5000.   I'm still trying to get a title for the 240D i've had for 15 years.

You  need a buddy who has a tow company.   In all your rabble rouser friends, none have a tow company?   None of them can  introduce you to a tow company? Read the law.   In some cases the land owner can file paperwork to get a title for abandoned vehicle.   If it were abandoned at Fast

Re: [MBZ] So this "abandoned" S55..

Well here it seems you basically have to go through a towing yard or a mechanic to do an auction which would run the price way up. The other approach would be to get the car, find another S with some problems, transplant the bits of the S55 into it, and have a franken55.  Lot of work, but an

Re: [MBZ] So this "abandoned" S55..

Around here, you notify the state, they or you notify the last known owner, and after xx days they issue you an abandoned vehicle title, which is apparently a form of branded title not a clean title. Decades ago, some idiots buried a Beetle in my neighbor's field. He pulled it out of the mud

In WA there is a process involving a registered letter that you send to the last owner of record. If it comes back (no forwarding address) the licensing agent opens the envelope and takes out the State form, and the re-titling proceeds from there. That's what I did for the Frankenheap. Cost me

You're supposed to put the front clip from the biohazard car onto the matching 2005 V8. After checking the color codes, of course. I'd happily drive the clk63 after hanging a new front bumper and grille on it. Others may have thought the same, it's $7k and climbing. > On December 3, 2019 at
