I am pretty sure most/all 114/115's with fuel injection used the D-jet. K-jet came in with the 123's. Mercedes did use a pure mechanical injection system much like a diesel injection system in 50's and 60's. Hendrik who knows 3/4 of bugger all - Original Message - From: David

If the mileage is honest and it's in the condition he claims then it might be worth 10K or more. Thanks, Tom Hargrave 256-656-1924 www.kegkits.com -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kaleb C. Striplin Sent: Sunday, April 09, 2006 8:46 PM

I can't argue the point that the seller does not provide enough info. If the Mercedes really is what he states it is then he should have dozens of inside outside photos of the car. Thanks, Tom Hargrave 256-656-1924 www.kegkits.com -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The 6 cylinder of this particular model was never imported into the States. It should have the higher compression Eurpoean engine and the machanical fuel injection system. Thanks, Tom Hargrave 256-656-1924 www.kegkits.com -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL

No that would be a US model, they are fairly common. Tom Hargrave wrote: The 6 cylinder of this particular model was never imported into the States. It should have the higher compression Eurpoean engine and the machanical fuel injection system. Thanks, Tom Hargrave 256-656-1924

Check your records, from my understanding the 108 / 109 bodies imported into the US were V8 only. Thanks, Tom Hargrave 256-656-1924 www.kegkits.com -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kaleb C. Striplin Sent: Monday, April 10, 2006 8:55 AM

I'm thinking $4k is pushing it in a best case scenario. I can almost envision a small-bumper 250C worth ten grand, but that is nearing into W111 coupe territory, and you can buy an excellent SLC for five grand. I have a small-bumper 250C, and it's even a hardtop convertible! Doubt I could get

Well first of all this is a 114, there are plenty of 114 6 cylinder engines imported into the US. As for 108/109, there were also plenty of those brought in as well. The 4.5 didnt arrive until 71 in the 108/109. Before that they were all 6 cylinder. Tom Hargrave wrote: Check your

Only problem it has two doors too many. The four door W114/115 are a bit on the boring side but the C114 actually is a very classy looking car and IMHO better than the C123. However when you sell something it is better to ask for too much then too little, you can always come down in price but
