my plan is to keep the car running long enough to find another mercedes.
i would prefer a w123 turbo but will settle for a 126 with a 617 in it.
The body must be in good shape with little or no cancer.

i had one last year that met this criteria but sold due to financial problems.i sure do miss it though.It is a bit harder to find another one than I thought.If the price of oil reches 08 levels that should help in my search,I know that it aided me in finding one that year for nearly half of what most people want for thier beloved mercedes on this board.Have my eye on a few vehicles and hopefully can find one before the tax return makes people or at it seems as if people increase the price they want for thier vehicles by a third on average.

If i could get a w124 with a 617 in it I would seriously consider that too.
