Re: [MBZ] How much is this worth?

Perhaps, the timing chain clatters so much, it "sounds like a diesel" and being ignorant of what he actually has posted it as "diesel". You know, because it's "Mercedes" and they are "all diesels". Guess the air blows cold and it ran when parked, also? On Wed, Jan 17, 2018 at 5:30 AM, MG

I would pay them full price if it really is diesel. If it is being sold by a moron, I would offer about $600 for the rolling chassis. The engine is toast if it needs the timing chain clay 1974 450sl - Frosch - Two tone green 1986 SDL - Polei 1982 300 SD - Allen retired models- 2002 s430

Re: [MBZ] How much is this worth?

I think it all depends one what "we were told it needed a timing belt" means - the chain broke and the valves/heads/pistons are trashed, or it should be replaced just because it's the original single row chain . . . . On Tue, Jan 16, 2018 at 5:19 PM, Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes < mercedes@okieb
