What are the 92 300D's really worth?
The fleet of cars is getting to be too big. Right now I have 4 parked on the street, so needless to say when i get home, I normally have to park about a block away from the house.
Anyway I am thinking of getting rid of my 92 300D. I LOVE this car, it is a tank, solid as a rock, plus I just put $1700 in rebuilding the injector pump. As with any car of its age, it has a few issues, but it is mechanically sound. So, with 203K on the clock, and a pretty rust free body, what could one expect to get out of one of these?

check ebay, kbb, etc. I'd guess no more than $3,000, especially if there's rust.

As in any Market, they are worth exactly what the guy writing the check will pay you.
I would do an ebay search for the 300d's sold in the last year, look particulary for early 2008 sales as they won't represent the current economic downturn. And make a decision based on those numbers whether to sell it now, or when the dow gets back above 9000  .

You get what the market can afford or how desperate you need to get rid of it. Anything is salable in any economic climate, the question is price. I will not accept check, cash deal only.
Good luck.

The market for W124's is pretty strong around here.....around 3k to 4k for a good gas or diesel model. (even the gas ones are getting good prices) I paid about $3250 for our 300E in real good shape with low miles.....and that was about 4 months ago.

If you'd rather have a nice '94 E320, I'm in a trading mood.

I'll PM you to not make this into something non-diesel.

 That '92 is going to feel slow after the '87.

I bought another E320 today, not as nice as the black one, if I don't find a diesel the M104 is coming out of Brutus (the "new" E320).
Hell yes I miss the diesels, it is part of my identity. Got to be a 60x though, need a little more evolved sound (sorry 61x guys) and power. I've got the 603 and wiring harness in the garage, ... might just happen if it doesn't cause a divorce. I have gotten spoiled by the look and feel of the late 124s though, not sure I want to go through all of the updates on another '87.
