What is the drivetrain from?
No reserve is the way to get people fired up. I sold a rather rusty but
mechanically solid 1963 190dc sedan for almost 3K that way. Just let 'er
rip.

What is with all the slammo wagon spring mutilators? That thing looks like
it would shake your eye teeth out.
If someone would actually race one, I could see the point. But that thing
isn't even a diesel. Pshaw.
Did they really run the w124 from 1987 through to 1995? Holy cow that is a
long time.
Yah wagons only for me. Very practical cars. I have my eye on one.

Yes I am thinking om606 in w124. I stopped learning about mercedes wagons
after the 1987 model year. If you tell me 1995 wagon is a better body, I
will believe you, but when did anyone do a 606 swap on one of those? What
number is that? w201 or 202?
If people are paying 14k for cars like this one:
The point being is that it will be mostly MB people who know the car well and
will often pick nits. I don't expect you'll get top dollar there for just that
reason, unless the car is really outstanding.
If you want to get top dollar, I would say go to eBay. People pay stupid money
for stuff th
Why not, if it's nice?
You can always do a "second chance offer" if it doesn't meet the reserve.
Just remember that eBay will rape you on fees. It's a necessary evil, but where
else will you get that kind of exposure?
With that in mind, you might want to consider signing up for BenzWorld and

For Kaleb you change the ignition lock so it doesn't match any of the others.
The car is $500, the key is $10,000...

I'm gearing up to sell my repainted 1985 300TD, diamond blue with a
near-flawless dark blue interior, after market third seat, working A/C, and
roof racks. It has a replacement drive train but so what? Should be an
interesting ebay auction. The toughest part will be settling on a reserve
price..
Karl,
Your 123 wagon is probably worth $5k or more on eBay.
Are you looking for an '87 wagon or sedan to hot rod? Wagons are somewhat
rare, and usually neglected and beat up. 124 wagons are generally sold for
less than 123 wagons.
My current dream is an OM606 turbo in a '95 wagon body.

I am thinking of going 87. Can't bring myself to hot rod the 85 and thereby
reduce whatever value it has to virtually nothing.
Which begs the question, what does a totally rust-free 85 tdt with a new
tranny, rebuilt turbo and top end go for these days with everything but the
center vents working a

months after I bought them. I sent a message to the eBay seller and they wanted
all the details as far as application. When that didn't pan out, they got

The Lesjofors catalog info on the ebay listings seems dodgy.
For some years, including 97, they list the same spring for the S500 and S420

Guess that means I'll buy OE for the 98 S420 that needs front springs.
Their application information was all wrong for the rear springs on the former

did they match the originals (wrong diameter). Lesjofors was adama

Some people have an irrational fear of SLS similar to a fear of

it.

SLS is like a Zenith carb. People are mystified by it, but if they took the
