Re: [MBZ] And the price keeps dropping...

That’s what will happen to the 1999 E320 4Matic at some point. Whether or not it’s viable to buy here and move the cars north is questionable, as the costs involved to transport them, whether doing it yourself or some other way, would negate a lot of any potential profit I would think. CarMax

[MBZ] And the price keeps dropping...

Wonder why stimulus checks haven’t bought this car yet? https://tampa.craigslist.org/psc/cto/d/palm-harbor-2003-mercedes-e320/7259288771.html He keeps dropping the price. Looks decent from what I can see.

Re: [MBZ] Wtf?

This is the Reinvent The Wheel idiots. I got spammed by them directly for a piece of their business about two years ago. I was talking to Pierre and they had spammed him as well, which led to a video tirade about these guys because they part cars out instead of trying to save them. If you look

Re: [MBZ] Soon to be Son-in-Law Thinks He Wants a Tacoma

I think the Rangers might be a good choice, but I‘ll look at the Chevy equivalent, too. I’m more comfortable with Ford products over the years, so given the choice I would lean in that direction. I’m going to spend some time this weekend doing more in-depth research. -D > On Jan 8, 2021, at

Re: [MBZ] Soon to be Son-in-Law Thinks He Wants a Tacoma

I want a smaller truck and drivetrain, not a full sized model. I don’t care about being able to haul a 4x8 piece of plywood or tow a massive trailer. I’m wondering if any of the other domestic manufacturers have decent small trucks? -D > On Jan 8, 2021, at 1:50 PM, Randy Bennell via Mercedes

Re: [MBZ] Soon to be Son-in-Law Thinks He Wants a Tacoma

From my initial research, which is barely conclusive, the Ford Ranger appears to be a decent choice. I’m not sold on the Toyota or Nissan, they were just my starting point. -D > On Jan 8, 2021, at 1:47 PM, Dimitri Seretakis via Mercedes > wrote: > > Seriously people? Why would you buy nasty

Re: [MBZ] Soon to be Son-in-Law Thinks He Wants a Tacoma

Why? I will say that the Nissan Frontier is just as pricey. For grins I looked at Ford Rangers and saw a few that were pretty decent for reasonable money. -D > On Jan 8, 2021, at 1:40 PM, Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes > wrote: > > Buy a Chevy. > > Sent from my iPhone > >> On Jan 8, 2021,

You must be psychic. I started looking at them just the other day as a retirement vehicle. And yes, they’re stupid expensive. If you’re shopping on price, you’ll want to go for the basic four cylinder, standard cab 2WD model, of which I found very few. Even ones from the early 2000s are

Re: [MBZ] Someone stole the catalytic converter so needs a catalytic converter and paint job

Same thing around here, as well as for scrap copper and AC condensers. They want a driver’s license, they take your picture and get a thumbprint. I had a spare set of aluminum wheels for one of the Focii, as the youngest had bought some aftermarket wheels for his. I ended up scrapping them as

Re: [MBZ] OT - (Airless) Paint Sprayers

I may not have been specific enough - I wasn’t talking about compressor type guns, I meant the 120VAC self contained ones. Sorry about that. Thanks for the video links, I’ll check them out. And yes, the HF one (Avati?) actually looks pretty decent. I haven’t looked at the Graco ones yet. -D >

[MBZ] OT - Paint Sprayers

Looking for a recommendation for a paint sprayer, handheld, probably HVLP, that can handle latex paints. I’ve got a bunch of doors I want to paint for the house and this would be a good reason to break down and get a sprayer. My previous experiences with these are about 10-15 years old, and

Re: [MBZ] W124 Vacuum Leaks

It’s been my experience that the valve on the front (driver’s) door rarely leaks. It’s pretty robust. One often missed item is the bushing that seals the vacuum line to the vacuum reservoir in the front fender. Like windshield washer pump bushings, I keep one of these on hand. -D > On Jan 7,

There are other subtle differences, too, like different torque converters (lock-ups in the 85 models, I believe) that also affect performance. -D > On Jan 5, 2021, at 5:00 PM, Allan Streib via Mercedes > wrote: > > Mitch Haley via Mercedes writes: > >> Seems like the 617 Turbo was in 78-85

W123 diesel coupes weren’t turbo’ed until the early 80s, like the sedans and wagons. This one is NA and has the dreaded ACC servo. Note that they mention the heat and AC isn’t working. That does not bode well… -D > On Jan 5, 2021, at 4:47 PM, Dwight Giles via Mercedes > wrote: > > Might

I once did a complete mechanical restoration on a 1966 E-type coupe. Blueprinted and balanced the engine, rebuilt carbs, etc., etc. An amazing car to drive when sorted. Loads and loads of fun. The best were the V12s, but from a performance standpoint they weren’t that great, as it added a lot
