Re: [MBZ] Stupid ask on a wagon -- 2002 Mercedes-Benz E-Class, $4, 999

[Mitch Haley via Mercedes]

I almost paid that for a tan on green 2003, 97kmi, back in 2011.
I was afflicted by a bad case of the poors at the time, but I often wish 
I'd bought it instead of the 234kmi 1999 I finally bought in March 2012.


A 8 year old Benz is more valuable than a 18 year old Benz, I would 
think. And dark green is very rare and IMO desirable.


Mitch.

Re: [MBZ] Stupid ask

[clay monroe via Mercedes]

Sorry, i only got as far as the web link

The selection of diesel W126 around here is sparse.  I have contacted most of 
the possible engine donors.  The DD on CL are looking for more cash than I 
think they are worth.  I also already have a can of worms.  I do not need to 
start over with another can.

Until the motor gets torn down, we will not know exactly what went wrong.  I am 
thinking, since it will not crank over by hand, that the crank or rods lost 
lube after 480k miles and welded it self.  Or piston #1 lost lube and got 
stuck.  No over heating based on gauges.  Oil pressure was pegged, and I had 
just filled the tank a few miles before.  I made it 22 miles down the freeway 
before failure that morning.

Maybe it can be used as a core for Metric as there is nothing burst through the 
block.

Three weeks dead.  With luck I can get it back on the road before the end of 
the year.

Re: [MBZ] Stupid ask

[clay monroe via Mercedes]

A decent running engine is going to far exceed the current ability of the block 
in Allen.   IT would be nicer to be able to drop it in, but higher miles engine 
might end up getting refurbishment.  

I am thinking I should have done that to Allen, as the car has 483k on the 
clock.  Probably a bit past when it should have gotten deeper attention to wear 
items and issues.  Would have resolved blow by as well as smoking.

Most expensive engine on Car-part.com is $1000.  Cheapest is $600.  One 
from an SD at Chehalis, WA for $775   People asking stupid prices on 
fleabay, but many are engine/trans together.


Many many others on car-part.com with prices unlisted.  This means 
negotiable, or they are crazy.   If you call around, you can find a deal 
for a good engine.


Or look for another free SD.

What was the cause of death of the OM617?

I have fallen into a funding source to put Allen (SD) back on the 
road. SWMBA will probably be satisfied to not be taking part in 
putting me in newer iron. Funds are limited, but should cover 
acquisition of a turbo powered OM617 of reasonable miles.
