117K, Good job! IMHO, Don't drive it often keep that mileage down! How often do we see a free low mileage vehicle!

Name a date and time, and I'll mark it on my schedule!

Nnnnnooooooo! How many 23 year old '85 300Ds have you personally seen with that low of miles and it would be great if the next 23 years would still have average that same amount of mileage per year. There is a lot of joy just having it in my opinion! That's just me!

Lucky you man! That's a beauty! Does something seem wrong in this country if we are so willing to just throw things away?

Nice find! Congrats!

Thanks for all of the positive feedback everyone!! Some good news...it only had $34 in back-fees!!

Well, I don't think your average person would give away a car like this...the man that owned it is 91 years old (and a little bit batty), and has had several 123's, and just by talking to him, he made it sound like they are just disposable workhorses...he then proceeded to show me his Lincoln Town car, and said "now THIS is a real car!". He's obviously well off, and I doubt he needs the money that this car would bring on the market. He just wanted it out of his driveway lol.
