Re: [MBZ] way too much for this car
It might be, depending on how much mechanical work needs done over the initial ownership year. I always budget 25 - 30 percent of the purchase price no matter how seemingly perfect the used car appears to be.

Re: [MBZ] way too much for this car
Tell me where I can buy good 87 300TD for $3615, and I will buy a dozen, because I know the market price is higher. In fact the last guy I contacted was selling one for a grand higher than that price, and he RAISED the price and sold it within a few days. The previous ones on ebay went for ~ $9K range. The one recently listed on ebay is a rustbucket, as are several others less than 8K. KBB and NADA are always suspect when it comes to imported cars and ESPECIALLY diesels. What is their source of info? It is the big dealers of Detroit iron. These dealers have no interest in diesel cars. If they get one, they want it OFF their lot YESTERDAY, if not sooner. They won't sell it to you or I for a KBB price, but they will unload it somewhere (auction) and will report a low price because they don't want to mess with them unless they make a ton of money on the transaction. (They will give little or nothing as trade-in, or mask the low trade-in value in the high price of the SUV you buy.) Sthewayitworks The facts are 1. MB Diesels have great reliability 2. MB Diesels have great longevity 3. MB Diesels with (ultra-reliable) mechanical fuel injection have not been made since the OM 60x engines 4. There is no MB diesel wagon available in the US newer than 1987 5. MB wagons are versatile and useable 6. MB wagons are the safest out there. (some might argue that volvos are) Either are head and shoulders above the rest. For my money, a really good TD or SDL is worth more than any detriot iron or riceburner It is nothing new. In the mid 70s, the book price on a 220D was $2500, but you could not buy one for less than $4000 That car isn't even worth even $4,000. Whoever payed 10K for it got ripped off.

Re: [MBZ] way too much for this car
Book values are meaningless, and usually way low, for cars that are rare and/or were imported in limited numbers. I think there were maybe 1500 diesel wagons imported to the USA back in 1987 and I bet less than 5% remaining today are anywhere near as clean as this one. That was also the last year Mercedes imported ANY diesel wagon to the USA. I would have expected it to sell for mid-teens since it was almost entirely restored. $3615 wouldn't even cover the cost of the *parts* that were recently installed on that car. If you want the ultimate diesel wagon in the USA, you have exactly one choice... from almost 20 years ago. -- Date: Mon, 21 Nov 2005 13:33:14 -0800 From: Gabriel S.

Re: [MBZ] way too much for this car
Emailed the seller about the wrong choice of words and had this interesting thing come up on the Ask A Question form: The user you are contacting is registered on another eBay site and may speak a different language. Your message will be sent exactly as typed below. Does that raise a red flag for anyone else besides me?

Re: [MBZ] way too much for this car
No, no red flag if the seller has a rating of 2107 with 99.6 percent positive feedback. Look at her company name, down below in the listing, sounds Polish. Maybe she has her company 'home' eBay account in eastern Europe, for tax reasons.
