 Why would anybody want a "sports car" that wants to kill you the way a 
rear-engine Porsche does?

Suggest you do a search online for "Ford Explorer transmission
problems" might do a re-focus on that choice... seems they eat reverse
at about 110k they also do not have a dip stick [well, except for the

Re: [MBZ] 123 bubble

2019-08-14 Thread Clay Monroe via Mercedes
The Cheep Crap Cherkee of #1 boy, the one with the inquiry about how to measure 
ATF level seems to have crapped itself.  Not sure of the extent of damage, but 
too many sensors were feeding the wrong data and it went into terminal limp 
mode.  Knocking something horrid and not wanting to drive or run.  Many failure 
lights on the dash and a plethora of codes.  The owner wants support for a way 
forward.  Should he attempt a rebuild of the engine or toss in a supposed good 
one? 

My feelings were that he not waste time on a rebuild, but to put something 
running in and save for a more reliable vehicle.   Like a 300TD or an SDL.  My 
opinion.  Better that he get an early frod exploder or other less computer 
controlled ride to get him to and from work.  His corner of ND has a frod store 
and a chrypsler/fiat/cheep outlet.  He was not sure about chebby.

My view is that the bubble won't burst because of supply and demand 123's
-esp nice ones,are getting scarcer. Even if demand shifts to 124's good
123's will be hard to find.

The only thing I can figure with these 123 prices these days is its a 
bubble, that is bound to burst at some point.  Take for example this 
flood car on copart.  Already at $3200.  Insane.
