When did the W201 get promoted to E-Class?
Re: [MBZ] cheap 190D
Hmm. And guess who has been clammoring about looking for a 190D, and has recently lowered his standards to consider an automatic? (Me). How much would you pay for this car, Kaleb? The 190D we were most recently looking into had all the advisable preventative maint. done for a 250k car, but someone else had a deposit on it and came and bought it today. This car presumably has none of that preventative maintenance done. Brian On 5/30/07, Kaleb C.

Re: [MBZ] cheap 190D
Are you talking about why I would think that the maint. has not been done? I just assume it has not been done because he probably would claim it, if it had been done. BTW, I'm talking about things like timing chain, flex discs, and the sort of things a 250k mi. car needs (or so I've recently been told). I sure hope the bid does not go anywhere near $5k. I don't think I would pay that much for such a high mileage car on which I don't know the history. Brian On 5/31/07, John Freer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Why would you think that?

Re: [MBZ] cheap 190D
250k is not high miles for these cars. Not all 250k cars are going to need timing chains and flex disks. They should be checked, but might not have to be replaced.

Actually, Kaleb, I don't intend to screw around. Just found out that my wife is on board with this one due to its fairly clean appearance. So tell me, what is my best plan of attack? We keep getting outbid by $10 automatically. Yes, I remember what you said about rare deals. I guess I am slow to realize that these cars can actually be considered rare?

Re: [MBZ] cheap 190D
It doesn't matter what anyone else will pay for it. Decide what you and your wife are willing to give up for it, then place that as your maximum bid, either through e-bay or a snipe program. If you get it, be happy. If you don't, then it went for more than you were willing to spend, so who cares?

If you do end up being the high bidder, it gives people less time to think well OK, I'll pay $10 more ... To really get in under the wire you'll need to use one of the snipe sites. They place your bid in the final seconds of the auction. If you're doing it manually with a browser, you need to leave enough time cushion for your browser to actually post the page to eBay. Also as I recall, when you place a bid you have to re-confirm your password so you need to allow time to do that and anything else in their process. Be sure you are doing all this according to eBay's clock, not your own local computer clock which is likely at least a few seconds different. Allan -- 1983 300D 1966 230

We keep getting outbid by $10 automatically. about 30 seconds before the auction ends, put in the absolute maximum bid you'd be willing to pay. As I've said before, this doesn't work. The problem has to do with the definition of willing to pay---it isn't black or white, and eBay's (broken) auction model forces you to pretend that it is. Say you put in $500 as your maximum bid, and another bidder snipes you at the last minute with a bid of $501. If the item was worth $500 to you, it was probably worth the $502 that you would have had to have bid in order to win. It probably wasn't worth $1,000 (which is why you didn't put that down as your max bid in the first place). In between is a gray area where the higher the price, the less your desire to pay it. eBay should extend the auction time limit as long as there are higher bids coming in. The system as it stands is just plain broken, and encourages sniping to the extent that in effect the auction idea is a joke---it's really a buy at a fixed price but you have to wait and guess what that fixed price is going to be at the last moment system. That's how I treat it---and I'm much more likely these days to buy an item at the Buy it Now price than play eBay's silly game.

Re: [MBZ] cheap 190D
Somewhat, but most folks have been around that block a few times. IMHO the ideal bid goes in too late to accept a higher bid from someone else. That sort of thing is for the 'fun stuff' you don't care that much about. If you really want it then put in your maximum bid. Another 'sneaky' way is to way overbid in the last 10 seconds [I bid $150 on a $50 item in the last few seconds. That ended up costing me about an extra $10 before the bidding was over - but it was for something that was worth it to me. That will usually work - but someone could fool you by doing the same thing and cost you a lot of money. Do it carefully.

Because of the time limit, the customers have converted it to a sealed bid auction. They do this by placing bids too late for others to see and react to them before time is up. Those who don't like the way the game is run cry foul (or sniping). The obvious solution is a going, going, gone format.

Okay, I know - a lot of questions coming from me, but I'm learning here. So with this sniping service, it is actually free as the website says, no tricks? I ask you because I assume you have used it or know someone who does. It looks like it wants me to enter a time at which to bid. I thought it just bid at the last possible second before auction closing or something.

Re: [MBZ] cheap 190D
I think he's saying you just place a ridiculously high maximum bid, knowing that ebay will only bid up until you are the high bidder, or you reach your maximum, whichever happens first. However if someone else is playing the same game, and you happen to still come out on top, then you've really put yourself in a bind. I wouldn't try it, myself. It's just a car, another will come along soon enough if you don't get this one. Allan Zoltan Finks [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Bill, I'm afraid I don't understand the technique you describe here.

Re: [MBZ] cheap 190D
If you purchase a nice looking Mercedes without checking it out or haing it gone over by a qualified mechanic and it turns into a shiny turd then shame on you. This is the one reason I do not bid on higher priced eBay cars. I will look at 50 or more old mercedes before happily paying too much for one then I will drive that expensive mercedes for 150,000 miles for less cost per mile than most other cars will cost.

Re: [MBZ] cheap 190D
No, I have never retracted a bid. This particular idea is based on processing time for something that you really want that you can't get reasonably otherwise. The particular item I was buying usually sold for $50 - $75, and I wanted it now. New was well over $100. I stayed in the bidding [so I wouldn't have to renew my identity more than minimally]. I was near the top bidder anyway, so I just waited until the last 10 - 15 seconds and bid what would have been a moderately high price for a new one. There were two other 'snipes' of $5 over current high bid that came in after mine, but the time expired before any more than two bids could be processed. I would have been upset at having to pay $150 for it, but was prepared to accept that if someone else was doing the same thing I was. Something I rarely do, but have only been beaten on once. I was bidding on an item for my Benz that often sold for $40 - $70. I bid too early though and upped the bid about 45 seconds early. That 'early' bid let someone else do the same thing to me - he ended up paying about $115 for an item he was planning to get for $50, which was the bid 60 seconds from the end of the auction. Worth it to him I suppose, and a lesson for me. Rather than bid in $5 increments as most do he upped his bid by $50 twice [I think] I never deviate from the rules, and usually have paid for the item within a minute of winning it.

Your everything old is new again comment is poignant. I remember not too long ago that the big old muscle cars were much berated and there was talk of some Washington legislation that would have them all crushed. Seems funny now that one of the most desirable things is new cars that are mock old cars. The Mustang, Thunderbird, and this Land Criuser, to name a few attempt to look just like their predecessors. I'm greatly disappointed that when Chrysler finally brought back the Charger, it looks nothing like one, and is in fact ugly. On the other hand, have you seen the Challenger concept car?

I'd surely love to have about an '80 FJ. One downside that springs to mind immediately if you regularly haul people is the rear jumpseats. I saw an article once about putting a later model 4 banger in one in place of the low compression, low horsepower I6. They said it had more power and much better mileage with the 4. On a slightly related note theres a '72 Land Cruiser at a local lot which my wife has fallen in love with. Its in very good shape, I took some time to crawl around under it and the frame is solid with good paint. Our Dodge Dakota is going to need replacing in the next 1-3 years (185k with the rust monster encroaching) and I'm into cool vehicles like the cruiser plus my wife only drives a few miles a day.

Put in a new spark plug, or at least wire-brush the one that's in there. Gap it to specs. This is a magneto ignition so the gap spec is usually pretty small -- too big a gap and it won't fire. Get some fresh gas in there, too. Some of these engines have primers, and some have a manual choke. The choke, if equipped, is usually a small lever on the carb, the primer is usually a small rubber button. They tend to be critical to getting the thing to start on the first pull or two. For a cold start, if it has a choke set it on full. If it has a primer, try three to five strokes. ___ http://www.striplin.net For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://striplin.net/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_striplin.net

This one has 296k on the clock. Probably just worn out. Maybe Johnny B wants another 190D after his wife claims the 2.0? The 722 series transmissions wear every time they shift and hardly wear at all while in gear running. So to minimize transmission wear, minimize shifting. During the 10 years I was driving from Pittsburgh to Washington DC and back weekly, I counted the number of shifts that my 300TD made on the trip and the number of shifts that my 190Ds (with automatics) made. The 190D shifted not quite twice as often. Around town the number of shifts was much closer to the same. That corresponds with the average life of the a 722.4 transmission in a 201 vs a 722.3 transmission in a 123/124/126. In city driving, both transmissions give similar life (150-200kmi), but in highway service, the average 722.3 transmission will last quite a bit longer (all other things being equal). I believe that the BIGGEST factor is engine power. The more powerful engines allow the transmission to last longer by allowing the engine to propel the car satisfactorily with many fewer shifts!

Re: [MBZ] Cheap 190D with siezed engine
Used and Abused. Remember there is no such thing as a cheap Mercedes. Causes of seizure: 1. overheated - no coolant or something like that - maybe thermostat stuck and they kept going; 2. not enough oil - it leaks or uses oil and they didn't bother to check it often enough (one of my nephews did that with a late model Chevy pickup); or 3. something broke and has jammed the works Anyway you look at it, you have to be prepared to spend at least enough to buy a used engine and install it Maybe a transmission too? (my experience would indicate that auto trannys don't like to sit around too long not being used - seals harden up or something like that - if you keep using them they last longer than if they sit and wait for you to fix the car) And who knows what else it needs?

Re: [MBZ] Cheap 190D with siezed engine
OK, I'll bite. What do you think your odds are if you buy off ebay without actually being able to inspect the car? I'm not that much of a gambler. If the price is cheap enough to justify the worst case scenario then maybe but I'd hate to pay anything significant on a hunch that a cheap fix will make it good.
