[MBZ] ebay bidders are nuts

1984 2.2 5sp, 168k, $4,000 and still going. Isn't that the kind of money a 87 turbo would go for, or a thousand less than a 16V? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemitem=4579815732

I don't follow bids on other vehicles, but it seems that bidders on MB diesels are on crack or have more money/credit than sense. I am ready to pull the plug on my Ebay searches and find a local used car dealer who will let me go with him to the auction houses. This is nuts Rick Knoble 1985

The price of this little 201 diesels is insane. Even before high fuel prices I dont think I would pay more than about 1200 for a nice one but they seemed to sell for 2500 or more. But 4K, thats stupid. Even stupid for a 2.5t. Mitch Haley wrote: 1984 2.2 5sp, 168k, $4,000 and still going.

$4000 may seem a lot of money for a small car like this. But if you look at the total ownership cost (not just the initial purchase cost) the 190D manual will come out better than any other MB diesel's available here in the states. Compare the 190D 5-speed to the '87 300D - 190D 5-speed get 38mpg
