If you can stray away from diesels there is a 92 300E sprortline up here you can probably grab for <$1K. |
Must...resist...temptation...
My focus and budget is on a diesel next year. I'd love to have another 124 and I saw one yesterday that looked like a 93-94. I almost had it but the woman wouldn't let go of the wheel, then the light changed and she was gone. It was an unusual color--sort of a champagne. Now with fingernail marks down one side.
I have not looked in depth at later model diesels, though Narwhal is (unfortunately) very happy with his. Not sure which year/chassis he has. The later model ones jump significantly in price. But that's why we've decided to budget rather than take a car note for used cars.
I told the guy who is selling the car (above) for the owner that I'd probably have bought the car had he not put it on eBay. I'm betting it would have sold for $2-$3k. Looks like it may now go into the $4K range. That was a good move on his part. Damn it.
