A dealer nearby has a nice silver W116 300SD supposedly with under 90k miles and records to support it. No rust, elderly 1 owner car...cosmettically looks to be about a 8.5+ but I don't know about the mechanicals as I haven't seen it yet...any thoughts here on what a one owner 90K W116 with all service records should bring?

I would think it would be at least $4,500 or more. I guess it really depends on how good the engine is. Where is the car from? I paid $1500 for mine with 176k.

I wouldn't mind living up there except it is cold....i don't do cold. but no taxes sure must be nice..

The prices on the nice conditioned 116 300SD's are really volitile.

I mentioned on a previous thread the 1980 with under 90k on the odometer that went for around $9500 on Ebay back in the spring. It seems like the demand for these old cars and hence their price goes up and down with fuel prices.

That's an excellent comparable to it, thanks. The car is for sale from a dealer who is asking $7900 for it and I know that's too much...I was figuring $5K - $6K was about right, and if it was nearly perfect I might go to the upper end of that scale since I don't have to pay to transport it. I may go look at it tomorrow in person and will let you all know what I think.

So Marty, Did you ever look at this car? Where was it? BTW, my recent battery drain problem was, in fact a defective glow relay. Put a new one in and battery stays strong.
