one MILLION dollars.

Well, maybe a little less. Already up to $14.5K and 16 bids with 8 days to go. I'm watching it now.

Damn that's nice. Looks like it's spent it's whole life in a garage. Cargo net, rack bars. No third seat?

Now I'll sit back and see if the pro's pick it apart.

Yeah, already at 14.5k and has not hit the reserve. I can't see it going for much more than 20k. I'm going to say 20k on the nose!

wow - so thats what they looked like new.

Makes my wagon look like an also ran.

I'd be surprised if it goes for more than $15,000. Such a nice vehicle and should probably be collected rather than driven. Putting it on daily driver duty would greatly devalue the car over time.

I hope some one gets it out of DC though. Bring it back to CA or a better climate.

In one place it says 44k miles in another it say 444k miles. which do you believe. I'd be leary, especially since there is only one photo.

I'll guess 18,800. It's missing the "Diesel Fuel Only" sticker. That is very nice. I thought the gauge needles would be darker orange. I especially liked the non wrinkly door plastics.

Thats a lot of money for an old E class, for $10k more you can get a CDI.

It's going to break my record - I sold a 1985 300TDT wagon with 56k-one-owner-miles on it for $16,700 about two years ago (blue on blue). When it came down to it, the car was worth so much more than I had in it that I had to sell it - I used the proceeds to end up with my SL AMG. Thing is, anyone who'll pay that much for an old MB wagon will (a) take good care of it, and (b) has got to be a collector. In other words, it's probably going to good hands.
