Anyone want to trade a 420SEL engine for a 300SDL unit?

Hi,

There's this local junkyard that has a 91 420SEL in absolutely spotless condition with the exception that it was rear-ended. It looks minor enough that the back end could be pushed back out and welded up and have the paint back there fixed and be like new again. They've had it for almost 5 months, their still asking $2100. I'd be willing to offer them $1000 bucks if somebody here wanted to swap me a 300SDL motor/tranny for the 420SEL motor/tranny in the car. Car has about 140,000 miles...... Motor runs........... (You guys wouldn't believe how spotless the interior is in this car........)


Let me know if anyone's interested.....

It'd be really easy for you to find Pawo, Just take 131 south out of GR and stay on it. You'll go past k-zoo and through Schoolcraft. Just outside of Three Rivers there is a stoplight (first light after you leave Schoolcraft) which is on the crossroads of 131 and Wilbur Rd. Eagle Auto Parts is the junkyard and they're on the right side of 131 if you're heading south, right on the corner of 131 and Wilbur Rd. You can see the benz in the repairables lot from 131.

Really, I wouldn't begrudge you going and buying it..... I hate the thought that such a nice vehicle will end up going to the pull-apart just because it has it's rear end shoved in a little..... It has collected a few small scratches and dings from sitting in the repairables lot for close to 5 months....... You should easily be able to get down off of their $2100 pedestal, especially if you have cold hard cash.........

Oh, yea, it has a CLEAN TITLE!!!!

Their phone number is 1-269-273-1265

BUT, if you come down, you have to let me know, I'd like to get a chance to meet you!
