Also, as an aside, if the manual transmissions are suddenly selling to people who want to convert their automatics, I'd say you don't even have to keep the car stock. You say it is too nice to part out, well, maybe convert it to automatic, make sure it has a good serviceable engine, and then sell

If it is truly rust-less I'd pay $1K for it. (Not that I currently have $1K at hand, but you know.) The way I see it, even if the engine is seized, as long as there is zero rust in the body, a donor engine is easily source. Very easy in your case, I'd imagine, given the cars you have lying around.

I thought I remembered it being automatic, but the emails he sent me before said stick and the ad says stick so I must have just remembered it wrong. It's way too nice to part out for sure unless it's gone way down hill. Sent from my iPhone > On Oct 8, 2017, at 8:26 PM, G Mann via Mercedes

Is a rust free, good paint but non running stick 240d worth $1k? About 3 years ago this old man contacted me to see if I was interested in his 240d. Been sitting in his shop for years and he used to start it but had not started it in a while. Last time he tried it would not start. He wanted $1k
