Re: [MBZ] In working condition when parked

I believe more were done using the Pinto/Mustang II platform than VW Beetle. These were offered in a later time when Beetles were becoming less common and the Ford drivetrains more popular. -D > On Jun 2, 2021, at 10:47 AM, Allan Streib via Mercedes > wrote: > > For a long time I thought

Around that time, I believe. I was wondering the same. If the gear is goobered on the balance shaft I would think it could cause issues like this since it affects timing. -D > On Jun 1, 2021, at 9:07 AM, Mitch Haley via Mercedes > wrote: > > Did they fix the balance shaft issue before 2008?

Re: [MBZ] G63 v ML500 musings

The ML500 isn’t a bad ride if you don’t mind the clearly truck-like aspect of it. Just driving on the interstate isn’t bad, but if the roads are dodgy prepare for a visit to the chiropractor afterwards. If I have to source a vehicle for a future home in Flagstaff I may very well consider an

Re: [MBZ] 1989 190E 2.6 - 130k miles - $2,700

I’m not a 190E fan, but that’s a pretty nice one for the money. It’s in Zionsville, which is an upscale new and old money area, so it was probably well cared for. -D > On May 27, 2021, at 4:03 PM, Allan Streib via Mercedes > wrote: > > Looks to be in nice condition... > >

Re: [MBZ] OT insurance, full coverage or no?

While in principle I agree with you, as when one is paying for something out of their own money it suddenly has value, it’s not realistic in places like Florida where a teenage driver’s insurance can be several thousand dollars a year. That and I don’t want my kids having to work their bottoms

Re: [MBZ] OT insurance, full coverage or no?

This is a loaded question. More importantly, what’s your level of comfort with the risk of having to replace a $5,000 car on short notice? And what’s the difference in cost between full coverage and minimal coverage? I carry collision on both of our cars because the difference would take 3-4

Re: [MBZ] Just so you know, I’m not out trying to buy ever car I can find like normal.

Exactly. It’s like the old trope of putting a new set of tires, a tune-up and other maintenance items and expecting to add that to the value of the vehicle. It simply doesn’t work that way. Andrew, I’m not picking on you, but the “extensive body work” doesn’t translate into significant added
