I found it on Hemmings.com
Seller was asking $2300
I got it for $1900

Is it just me or have others found it just about impossible to find an ebay deal anymore?
I was looking at a 82 300SD in Illinois last week on ebay with 262000 miles that was in decent condition. It went for $3650. I was wathing a 300D in wisconsin with new paint but a bad vacuum pump, must be towed, and it went over $2500. And a couple months ago an 82 CD bad trans wont go in reverse went for 2900!

I think the guy wanted to make sure it would go to someone that would take care of it like he did. He was the 3rd owner and got it in 99. It was his daily driver, but he washed it every day in the winter, and it shows.
The rust spots are the bottom front corner of one door and the rocker right below. Also some blisters by one tail light. I will fix once I'm done with the restoration of my 85 300D.
From those that have heard about the power and handling of the 116s it's all true.

Car pulls like a train right from a stop.
I will update as I drive it more.
