I TOTALLY agree, the teardrop is to my mind a MUCH cooler trailer.
Another consideration with the teardrop is that nobody can invite themselves
along with you...

If you've got a good running 617 with a good SLS pump on it,
keep your eyes peeled for a cheap 280TE with a perfect body and needing
a valve job.

Do 210 chassis wagons still have SLS? They don't seem to command any
premium over the same-year sedans like 124s and 123s do, and

While it has pretty low mileage for the age, it still blows me away that ppl
are asking and getting $6000 for 23 year old cars, that were best known for
being German taxis when new. For that kind of money, I'd want perfect
paint, and for the car to have already had a going over by Martha. ;-)
155k on a diesel is barely broken in. $6k is not unusual even with
todays diesel prices. I would expect the paint to shine like new and
everything to work. The 300TD was the flagship of wagons in its heyday.
The problem with your W126 is plastic. Chrome gets the big bucks.

I think stupid prices sums it up. :-) Is gas really expensive enough to
