So this thing has been sitting there with nothing done to it for 3 years, it has cost him nothing and he wants $1500? Dreamer. The owner could have unloaded it for $1500 if he thinks he could get that, instead of giving it away to him. Or maybe he has some deal with her, he gets a

Sitting unused for 3 years is not a good thing. Can they fire it up at all? Does the transmission shift? Does the AC blow cold? What else might go wrong with a car that sits for that long? RB On 19/08/2015 11:56 AM, Bob Rentfro via Mercedes wrote: The shop next to my CrossFit gym has had a 98

I'd like to have the engine, but not for another 6-12 months... If it cannot be driven, you have no idea what it is worth other than the scrap weight. Suspension, air conditioning, transmission, differential, engine; all are suspect and could be bad, not to mention brakes, radiator, tires,

If it were me I would try to get closer to 1k but would be prepared to pay the full price. Even if you have 3k in it that is still cheap for one of these u less it is trashed or a rust bucket Sent from my iPhone On Aug 19, 2015, at 1:11 PM, Bob Rentfro via Mercedes mercedes@okiebenz.com
