I like W123 diesels because they are reliable and easy to work on. I don't care
about creature comforts nearly as much, but that said I have never driven a
Mercedes newer than that.

My second diesel was a 1980 300D. Anthracite Grey with a Sienna or henna
interior, just the color you've got. Very handsome combination. I purchased
it for $15,000 in 1984 and sold a year later for $12,000.

I totally agree with you. The last W123 I had, the one I flipped on BaT after I

Folks
In Georgia for the last five years, you are charged a tax on the first
registration …. $200 for a 2007 Kia Sedona and maybe $500 for a 2004 sprinter
….. I appealed the sprinter since it was cheap and rusty and paid about $250 ….
They base that on the nada value or something

When I lived in Illinois, registration was a flat fee, something like $35.
Ridiculously cheap. That may have changed since I moved away, over 20 years ago

Despite the excise tax stuff I will say that in general, Indiana has the lowest
fees when it comes to titling and registering cars. When I titled and
registered the 2002 E320 4Matic up there it was barely $100. I was stunned, as
I hadn’t bothered to check on fees before I went.
