I hate to do it, but I'm moving and can't find a way of getting it over with me. I have it posted in the F/S forum if anyone is interested:

For those who attended the NE GTG at Bill's, this is the one I brought over there.

listen, look, .........and duck.

You'll be hard pressed to replace your car for what you're selling it for.

Too bad it has to go and really too bad I don't have the extra money!

You won't have a problem getting what you're asking for it.

BTW....you're invited to the next GTG, even MBZ-less.

Cheers,

Bill

I don't have room for another...or the spare cash right now...even though I do want a W126.

Yes...SWMBO would have to be dealt with if I brought another home....and that might turn ugly real quick as most married guys know.

Yeah but you don't have one like this. Thats my usual excuse.

Cheers,

OK, tell you what I am going to do to bail you out of this problem:

I buy the W126 for you and you sell me the W116 for $1K??










..........well, I tried...................

no deal.....but can't blame you for trying...

Still need to sell the Honda...the Saturn is sold...then I might have space...

Thanks for the words of encouragement! I know I won't be able to replace it for that price, but unfortunately the need for a quick sale necessitates the low price. It will be a good deal for somebody!

Bill, I'll try to make it out for the next one... hopefully I'll have another MB by then!

I am likely safe but I prefer to be safe than sorry. And you can never have too much in the bank for an emergency.

Boy, I know all too well how an emergency can eat up the bank account.

Hope you survive the cut.

Cheers,

Bill

Good luck with that... hopefully you won't get cut! I went through that about 7 years ago and now once again. The company I work for is laying off left and right. I'd stay until it was layoff time and get a good severence, but the job market is not so good in my area right now for what I do. I didn't want my daughter getting interrupted mid-year in school, so we decided to move. Better jobs, better schools, nicer area, lower cost of living. Loving it so far

Glad I work for myself. No boss, no cuts and sometimes no pay.

Like I said...even if you don't own a MBZ by the next GTG, stop by!

Any takers on the car? If not I'll be surprised.

Cheers,

Bill

Well, it's sold. It was very sad to see it drive off, but I'm glad it went to a good home (fellow forum member bought it). So I'm Benz-less for now. I still have a bunch of w123 parts, so I'll probably be looking for one when I get out to NWA.
