240?
 
Wow, hubbies AND white!! and Standard. $2k to $3K is fair. Cheaper is better....:D

A 200 diesel was never offered in north america so some parts may be hard to come by. Besides that if it has no rust and runs well (slow I'm sure) I dunno 2-3k. You are going to need a euro front bumper for that. Looks pretty nice though, get that dent pulled out if you buy it.

Hmmm... where have I seen that car before?

Oh yeah-- The driveway! heh heh

No price is too high for a classic white w123-- they NEVER go out of style! ;)

And people think the 240s are slow :eek:

I'm thinking it's a typo. I don't think MB sold a 200d in 1983. It's a 300d, although the extra 100 is not going to change the price.

I had no idea it was your car ineon
 
:eek: :D

That is sooo funny. I had no idea it was your car ineon.

I thought it might be a good idea to let the members of the forum help with the pricing.


Did I represent the car accuratly in the post ?

Looking forward to seeing the car this weekend hopefully.

Thank You

the 200d was a euro car. that is def a euro bumper set up on the rear and prob on the front too.

and because of the euro stuff i would have been lighter too. so the difference between it and a 240 will prob be minimal in performance.

Euro car for sure, look where the antenna is.

MB made 20,444 200Ds in 1983.

Also, what's the deal with the brick behind the rear wheel, parking brake broken or something?

sixto 08-08-2006 12:51 AM

It's more than a park brake. I don't think a 200D can make it over that brick on it's own power even with the slope of the driveway :)

I got to ride in a 200D AT with an autocrosser at the wheel and it had some hustle.

Sixto
... stay tuned

I don't think it is his. Only that he has one that looks like it......

Rich, were you at the GTG with the 300D w/ trailer hitch?
I'm having name/user name issues.....

Yup, that was him. He was parked next to me at the GTG when we lined up our cars arranged by year for pics.

ate lunch with them. nice folks. would love to see 'em add to the fleet....:D

H-townbenzoboy 08-08-2006 02:36 AM

I'd love to see a 200D. I hope they add it to their fleet too, maybe they could bring it to the next get together. I remember seeing a writeup someone did with pics on driving a 200D in some European country. From what I could read, though it was slow, it wasn't that bad of a car. I can't find the article now, I wished I had bookmarked it, anyone remember it?
