Good Deals

Seen any offerings that fellow diesel Benzers might be interested in?

Here is an auction that is ending tomorrow and has no bids yet...

Complete Palomino Interior W126 $200

This seems a phenomenal deal, if you can get it anywhere near this price.
It would even pay to have it all trucked cross country, I believe?

It all appears in wonderful condition.
Here's what you get:

heated Seats Front and Rear
carpet
headliner
all 4 door panels,
all wood grain
console
dash assembly
gauge cluster
heater, A/C controls,
kick panels
steering wheel
etc..



Good Luck!

$200.00......"Reserve not met"
My guess is the cost of living is much higher than the opening bid...

awwww...

That slipped by me.
What do you think the reserve is?

Looks like almost enough stuff to change an existing interior color?
I'm not a big fan of the blue.

Hey RA, at least you don't have a pic under there that nobody cares about.....

BTW, that is a very nice interior from the pics, and I too am curious at the reserve.

The reserve was $500, which is the current bid.

Auction ends just after 7 pm, EST.

Wow that ended up being an excellent deal for somebody. I hope they were close enough to go pick it up, otherwise shipping would be pricey. But still a good deal.....

Helluva Deal!!!

I quit at $603...sold for $613. Almost wish I would've kept going for a bit, but Christmas is coming (for more than just me ). The wife would've killed me when I told her I spent $800+ and then had to make a road trip to CA to pick up a new interior to replace mine which is already pretty nice. Would've been worth every penny though...there were apparently seat covers on since nearly DAY 1!

Marriage...ARRRRRGH!

I'm hoping to remove the electric bike soon.
I ordered them right before I bought my Benz
and lost interest in them before they even arrived.

If anyone needs an electric bike,
I'll give them one for dealer cost.

Something isn't right. No one's ever said, "I got a good deal at Silver Star Recycling!"

I tried to use their webform to ask for a quote on the panels
that shield the engine and tranny under the car and I got an 'error message'.

I tried emailing them yesterday, through ebay... and no response that way either.

Yep! These guys have been selling such complete sets on ebay for years actually.
