Does anybody have access to the NADA book value of an 84 300D with 246k on the clock? I tried looking at Kelley blue book, but they only go back to the 1986 year model....

KBB sucks, if you go to NADA online yourself, you can get the value

NADA only goes back to 86 as well.

try www.edmunds.com

It's under classic cars on NADA, here you go:

Yes,the classic car link on Nada got me another $3500 bucks when the 84 300sd was totaled. I am very greatful that Nada identified these cars as classics.

Go to ebay, locate cars one year back and up on yours, then click Completed sales and see what they sold for.

Those books are worthless for older cars - especially Mercedes, and if you're selling one, saying that "KBB or NADA values it at $8500 - I'm willing to let it go for $4500!" means nothing to a Buyer.

When I tried to use Ebay as to what values for my car were they said its only in your area,they used Real estate as an example,houses in xx vs houses in xx as not being comparable.I replied houses cant be moved but cars can be relocated,No dice.Again thank goodness Nada saw my car as a classic.Johnny
