I think I have one of those somewhere, it was sort of an ivory color and
rounded like a mouse but bigger. I got it Christmas in like 1973 or so,
if I recall they were about $100.
I have one of those TIs with a card reader, I think I still have them
both in a box somewhere. A coupla years lat
That would probably be a good deal with a fairly easy fix?

so. Group III base stock, not really true synthetic, but they are still
charging you the full price.
Last night I took a look at our local Wallyworld, the only weights for
"Extended Performance" which may still be Group IV ba
I think this one is about a $750 car, if it were a sedan. The clearcoat is
coming off badly on most of the horizontal surfaces, missing wheel center
and as Mitch pointed out the missing antenna all point to a car that has
been driven into the ground. Another issue is the trashed passenger seat

There is a dark blue 94 W124 convertible that's parked on the street by my
office all the time. Looks like it's in good shape from a casual glance. I'm
not keen about the W124 chassis looks, and when you add the ragtop it makes it
even weirder, I think.

Loan me a grand?
I'm going to check it out, see what's going on. Anyone else get the

Ordered two 5 quart jugs of Mobil 1 on Amazon. $26.52 each, a few pennies more
than Dead Sam sells it for here. Free shipping.
They sent it UPS Second Day Air.
How can they make money on this??

Search the BenzWorld W124 forum would be my first suggestion. If the hydraulics
are shot you're going to drop $600 or so for a complete rebuild plus the labor,
maybe a day or two if you do it. I've done the R129 which has 11 cylinders, and
it took the better part of two days to R&R.
