Also, commercial real estate may finally be coming to terms with the reality 
that a lot of it just isn't needed anymore. A lot of big loans may be deeply 
underwater.

Would not the cheap stuff from China come directly across the Pacific to

Globally, we also have the situation in the Red Sea which is preventing a lot 
of shipping from going through the Suez Canal. Cargo that must go is going 
around Africa, other shipments are being delayed or canceled. Meaning a lot of 
cheap crap destined for Wal Mart or Amazon hubs might not be arriving.

Re: [MBZ] Back to 124 Daily Driver

[Rick Knoble via Mercedes]

Dan,

Traditionally this is the slowest time of year for shipping. Package volume 
falls by 30-40 % over peak volume. This past peak was above average, but I've 
seen times when volume was overwhelming. This past year was not. Current volume 
is down perhaps 20-25% from the same time last year. That is a guesstimate, but 
I believe it is accurate.
Remember, UPS makes most of its' ground profit from business to business 
commerce. Home deliveries are less profitable and more of a PITA. Note also 
that where I work is a consolidation hub. It is financially more prudent to 
close or curtail operations somewhere else and route that volume through here. 
They are doing that.


Take from this what you will.

My take?
Save your money, get out of debt.
A recession is eminent.
We (as a country) will have a better view of what's happening by the third 
quarter. I *think* interest rates are not coming down soon, so .

Re: [MBZ] Great car if you want to fix it - 2007 R320 CDI - 154k miles - $1, 500

[Allan Streib via Mercedes]

If it's really in Oak Park that's a decent area.

If it's east of Austin Blvd, better come strapped.

Re: [MBZ] Back to 124 Daily Driver

[dan penoff.com via Mercedes]

Don’t sweat the SLS (rear suspension.) It’s typically quite robust and rarely 
requires service. Struts can be pricey if they’re leaking, but again, that’s 
uncommon. More often than not, the only thing the system needs is the 
replacement of the accumulators (spheres) which are not expensive and readily 
available.

Re: [MBZ] What is This?

[dan penoff.com via Mercedes]

Definitely unique for our market. I would lump this in with all the tired, 
worn-out old W126 500SELs that are still languishing in someone’s garage or 
back 40. At the time those things were well regarded and considered rocket 
ships since they weren’t smogged to death. Nowadays they’re barely worth the 
scrap value.

That price is insane for the wagon. There are much cheaper examples out there.  
We are in a 123 bubble right now that I suspect will be bursting at any moment. 
After the Dean 124 on BAT, the crack is even higher on them for the moment.

That is not an unreasonable price, fairly rare build. I’m wondering if it’s an

That’s actually not a bad price. A quick ECU tune can push that up to 750hp in 
about 30min. Bigger turbos and downpipes and you can push 1000hp. That would be 
lots of fun.

Re: [MBZ] "Jewish racing gold"

[Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes]

Got me wondering how many Jewish MB racers might have used that color. It looks 
like smoke silver.

I had to guffaw when I read that. How can you find a way to alienate potential 
buyers? This is probably a good example.

You gotta give them some credit, it is an enterprising offer for someone who 
runs in circles where this is culturally acceptable.

Re: [MBZ] What is This?

[dan penoff.com via Mercedes]

It’s a Euro W126, gray market car. The AC controls as well as the stick give it 
away. Open the hood and another giveaway pops up - the engine. Never sold in a 
W126 in the States to the best of my knowledge.

It’s a unicorn. Not necessarily a good one.

[MBZ] 1988 560SEC AMG body kit - 101k miles - $17,500

[Allan Streib via Mercedes]

This car would look so much better in black IMO.

Radio appears to be a replacement but looks somewhat correct - is that a 
Continental?

Interior shows a little wear but still looks pretty nice.

Extensive records and everything working is worth some kind of premium but that 
price seems crazy? Are these very rare?
