79 so it is not a turbo, but it moves OK.  I could probably find a turbo 
donor somewhere if I really wanted to get more involved.


Might as well call the guy I guess, he could do me a favor and tell me 
he got rid of it.  For $500 though, I could probably get $250-$300 for 
the hulk of the old one, strip off everything good off it (which most of 
the mechanicals are, as well as the front suspension I rebuilt) and 
various bits that might be worth something.  OTher than the time it 
might be a fairly cheap deal to get a better car.

Re: [MBZ] 300td pretty cheap

2015-02-04 Thread Randy Bennell via Mercedes
That is not just "clean" however. That is a matter of putting $$$ in on 
a regular basis.
Any paint issues must be attended to and and any interior wear has to be 
dealt with.
Neither of those items are things that most of us can do ourselves in a 
competent manner and it is expensive to have professional work done.
My old 300D looks pretty good from a distance but I know where the 
blemishes are and it could certainly use some paint repair and interior 
work.
I had the front seats repadded but the upholstery is showing its age. 
The back seat needs to be repadded as it is crunchy and will soon pose 
more problems if it is not attended to.

The carpet is about done. It is crunchy too and easily broken.
So, how much money do I pour into it? It runs fine and I enjoy it. If I 
put $10K into it, I doubt I would increase its value for sale by $10K.
Sometimes it just makes more sense to leave it be. And that is likely 
what has happened with these cars that you see for sale. People have 
enjoyed them but are ready to move on and they are not going to pump a 
bunch of money in now when they want to get out of it altogether.
So, you have to be realistic. If you are looking for a project and are 
willing to put the $$$ in, then go for it.
If you are looking for a cheap beater daily driver, then don't complain 
that the previous owner did not "keep it up". If they had "kept it up" 
you would think it was too expensive and look for something cheaper.
These are not 5 year old cars. They are generally at least 15 to 30 
years old. My 300D is 39 years old and I think, in pretty good shape for 
a car that age that has not been "restored".
My 2002 F150 Supercrew that my younger son now has, is only 13 years old 
and it shows wear. The truck was a Lariat level model and has leather 
seating. Both front buckets have worn spots that should be attended to.
There are rust holes in the rocker panels on both sides and in the cab 
corners. Apart from that, it is really pretty good but once again, we 
are talking some pretty decent $$ to fix those things properly and this 
is a truck wtih 190K miles on it. My son is a mechanic and he will 
likely put another 100K miles on it and repair whatever it needs along 
the way but he is unlikely to spend a whole lot on the cosmetic items. 
He drives it as his daily driver and it is more important to him that it 
be reliable than pretty.

of cars have been driven a lot and still look good.   My old 300D 2.5 that

You don't have to be Dan (aka Martha Stewart) to keep a car clean.  Hell,

It is possible to drive a car and still keep it clean.   My BMW has 215,000 
miles on it and it is clean.  Not as clean as it once was, but lots of cars 
have been driven a lot and still look good.   My old 300D 2.5 that OK Don 
bought had something like 250-265,000 miles and it was VERY clean.  You don't 
have to be Dan (aka Martha Stewart) to keep a car clean.  Hell, you don't even 
have to do it yourself.  You can go to the car wash!  Or a detail shop?  Or pay 
the neighbor kid to do it.
