Re: [MBZ] BAT Benz insanities

The wagon has a suspension problem, either the rear is sagging or the front springs or pads are too high. Manual transmission is lighter than the automatic, maybe front springs are wrong? -- Max Dillon Charleston SC On January 25, 2019 9:09:12 AM EST, Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes wrote:

Looks pretty rusty. The floor pans die an ugly death as window seals go bad. I would drive it for 3200 though. Even with the crappy seat. Unless the body is just totally shot. On Sat, Dec 29, 2018, 3:54 PM Dan Penoff via Mercedes Look what’s on Boston CL just two days ago: > > >

Is this some sort of a trick question? Mercedesmotoring has been moving redone wagons for 40k for awhile now. Just like 60s and 70s muscle cars, which are all pretty much junk, but the people with nostalgia for them have money. At least these old merc cars have some good design features and higher

Re: [MBZ] BAT crack

The reason 123's are so popular is the hood opening to just past vertical - the 115 was a pain in the head/neck to work on. You had to remove the hood to extract the engine. Not so on the 123. The 124 doesn't look like a classic Mercedes, nor does anything since. On Fri, Aug 3, 2018 at 12:00 AM,

Re: [MBZ] BAT crack

The 115 was a rust magnet. Cash for clunkers filled scrap yards with /8 cars. I scrounged a basement full of parts to try to keep my 220D road worthy A w123 is a bit more complex and less prone to rusting to death. There are also many more of them out on the road, as well as in parts yards.
