I'd say a $1000.00 should buy it

And I suspect a $1000.00 is going to be hard to find in the area. No body not in the know on these old Benz's is going to see anything in that old rattle trap except some one who knows these cars. Plenty of us would give a thousand for it if it was in our neighbor hood. Unfortunately that is not where it is

Funny, I sent that ad to my daughter via txt msg because she wants to have a Diesel with manual tranny....she really would like a truck, but she would have to save a lot more cash...I figured this one might be what she needs.

She didn't really show a lot of interest after that, so...hmmmm....

My other daughter still wants an SD like mine.....she lost out on one by waiting too long.

I bought it.



He posted back up yesterday after not selling by his due date. Said "first $500 takes it."

Least to say, I had $500. And I took it.

It will be going to a good home. My Dad and I need a project car at the farm (pecan orchard) and he has an awesome 50x90' steel bark that I helped build. So this will be going inside, but on jack stands for a few months while we tinker with all that ales it.

PO says the clutch it out, but the more I read about these 240d manuals, the clutch master/slave cylinders are known to leak and give the same symptoms he describes. Car will go into gear, but will barely make it around the block before the clutch gives out.

So we're going to check those first, before I go spending $300 to replace the clutch and pressure plate.

Trying to get it towed home this weekend and start cleaning it for a trailer ride to the country. Anyone in Austin got a trailer and want to help a man out?

More pics forthcoming.
