If it weren't a wagon, it would be a nearly worthless parts car. There is the rarity factor that increases the value. And it's true, it really doesn't matter how much it costs to buy a car because the cost of fixing up one is so high that in the big picture it doesn't matter.

Still, I hope to get it for $500. If not, I'll do what I can to get it. I'm in a situation where I recently spent a bunch of money, then missed a week of work being sick, then had an 8-day pay period, so I am short on cash. It would be worth getting a payday loan, as much as I hate being in debt. My 200D has a $1,200 bid currently, so if the car sells it would help greatly.

I'll probably never see another for sale. I know it will be a huge project, but unlike my 200D, I'm willing to cut into it and go to town on replacing the rusted panels and fixing it a little at a time, as I can afford it. Some day, a few years from now, I will have the car of my dreams and I never intend to sell it. I would be happy having my 300SD and the wagon as my only two cars for the rest of my life since they are my two favorite cars.

Here's hoping he'll sell it at a much lower price and that I'll be able to have the money that he wants for it.
