For Sale: '98 E300 for parts

Selling my '98 E300 located in Mass. The driver's side perch support broke last week. She has 324k miles. Very little rust. The car spent half its life in Florida, and has not been driven in the winter up north. Recent fuel injector rebuild. Runs well. Yard drivable. $1200 or Best Offer.

If only I was closer, I'd scoop this up, sigh.

FYI this is something that many high volume dealers repair on a weekly basis. It's around $2500 for the job, but if the car is otherwise well maintained and in good shape, that's less than you'll spend to replace the vehicle.

Spring perches can be repaired for a lot less than $2500. Last I checked with my auto body guy he did them for $300 or so a side. He does them all the time.

Quahog, if you buy it I can tell you where to send it to get the perch repaired.

Hi, the car is black on black. I took some pics, but the site is not allowing me to upload for some reason. I can email you some pics if you want.

Hey! I resemble that remark!! But very true.

Hope this car can be rescued, it sounds like it has a good chance to live on.

My girlfriend is looking for another E300. If it doesn't go to Quahog, I will most likely find a truck and trailer and come get it. If that is the case, we will be in touch and talk about prices and more pics
