KBB sez it is worth ~20k as a trade in. cheapest engine on car-part.com in the USA is 9k. Somehow the math does not add up to a value. Unless the PO will install the engine for free, and still that makes it just average, not a value. G Mann via Mercedes

Re: [MBZ] Price of Benzin in Timbuktoo

I figured it up the other day and it seems to be right about the same cost or maybe even a little cheaper if I drove the e320 filling up with premium over the e300 diesel. Sent from my iPhone > On Nov 29, 2018, at 8:06 AM, Dan Penoff via Mercedes > wrote: > > That seems to be the case

Michael, I looked into this when I had my former W123 last year. It’s really a toss-up, based on what’s available to you and how much you want to spend. You can by cheap imported rebuilt axles. You can have your axles rebuilt, to the tune of maybe $250/each If you can find someone with the

Re: [MBZ] Price of Benzin in Timbuktoo

White Whale fuel light came on at 400 miles today, so this tank returned 24.2 mpg. Earlier this summer I was getting about 21 - 22 mpg, so about a 10% improvement. I'm not sure if this is due to change in my driving (not using AC with the cooler weather) or better quality fuel, or swapping out

Re: [MBZ] Price of Benzin in Timbuktoo

That seems to be the case around here, too. Diesel rarely drops as much as gasoline, which is trading in the low $2.00 range, with premium around $2.30-$2.40/gallon. -D > On Nov 29, 2018, at 9:03 AM, Mitch Haley via Mercedes > wrote: > > >> On November 29, 2018 at 8:22 AM Curt Raymond

Re: [MBZ] Price of Benzin in Timbuktoo

Most places around here seem to be 2.89-2.96 for diesel. I have a honey hole spot that is part of a major chain of stores but for some reason this location often has diesel much cheaper. I filled up there Tuesday for 2.72. Sent from my iPhone > On Nov 29, 2018, at 7:59 AM, Meade Dillon via

Looks like they provide a bipod with it for shooting at the range. Pretty cheep, too. My local dealer sells the breakdown model for just a little over $300. I can understand that a whole lot more than the Sig. You’re essentially paying $1800 for a tarted-up 9mm pistol, IMHO. -D > On Nov

Re: [MBZ] OT: The best way to spend black Friday

My Marlin 60 is a far simpler rifle and dead-nuts simple as well as amazingly accurate. I can get a 2” grouping at 50 yards with iron sights, better with a bench rest and the cheap scope that came with it. -D > On Nov 29, 2018, at 12:11 PM, Curt Raymond wrote: > > I don't understand it at

Re: [MBZ] OT: The best way to spend black Friday

His thinking was that the Charger is smaller and lighter than a rifle, is supposed to be accurate to 50 yards, and he thinks it looks cool. He has a break action over/under 22/.410, but it's fallen into dis-favor since he got the M1 Garand. On Thu, Nov 29, 2018 at 11:13 AM Curt Raymond via

I have a 240D diff and axles in the trunk of my 300SD, but IIRC those boots had surface cracks on them ten years ago. They might last another decade, or another week. Mitch. > On November 29, 2018 at 11:30 AM Meade Dillon via Mercedes > wrote: > > > Don't forget Marshall Booth's preferred

Re: [MBZ] update #2 MBZ] Bought this yesterday.

The pneumatic “boot stretcher” is around $150, I think. You’ve also got to use the correct type of boot, too, as the stock boots won’t stretch that much. It’s nice to have the right tool for the job, but I couldn’t justify it. -D > On Nov 29, 2018, at 11:50 AM, Randy Bennell via Mercedes >
