I would expect that 316K miles does not help sell it. The car just looks worn, especially on the inside. Also, the rusty air cleaner under the hood is a turn off. Clean it up and paint it. Randy On 08/07/2023 3:45 PM, Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes wrote: Took some quick pics and posted on

Yea, I really hate that.  If I were to have any paint work done I will look into removing it. On 7/8/2023 4:23 PM, Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes wrote: Looks like a fair price although the illegitimate third brake light is a nonstarter. On Sat, Jul 8, 2023 at 5:14 PM Allan Streib via

I think my 300SD also feels very nice on the highway. Even with the noise from the diesel it's a very nice smooth ride. I think people might want a W116 that's near-perfect, but you are probably right that their value as any kind of project car is low. They defintely have a "dated" look

Took some quick pics and posted on Fakebook, but no real interest. I will probably clean it up a bit and take some more/better photos. I drove it a little today and despite the crappy shocks it just glided down the road. Got up to 80 quite easily. I’m so impressed I’m thinking about proceeding
