Hey folks,

** Like an Aging Supermodel .. my baby needs some work!!

I know its one of the most sought after and stylish diesels that Benz ever made which is why I bought it!!

About 6 months ago my water pump broke on a long trip... didnt notice the gauge until it was ALMOST too late after running in the RED for a good bit.. I got it back to the house put in a new water pump and all seemed to be OK... Well a few months later it has slowly been losing power and then DIED on the way to work.

I got it running again but has low compression around 225-260 PSI in different cyl. The previous owner and I have run bio/veg/and diesel in it which Im sure didnt help...

I thought I would attempt pulling the head check out the gasket and go from there.

Well I finally decided that it is over my head (no pun intended) and Im looking to sell it as is..

The question is what should I expect to get for it? Assuming worse case needs rings, valve job etc.???

Its been sitting for a while but still turns over and stays running but Im too much a WUSS to take it out.. if I havent killed the battery yet.

Basics: 285K miles, Great body, glass, leather all around in GREAT shape.
Here are some pics.

Just needs engine work or a transplant engine I would think?


Where would be the best place to put it up?? EBAY? that "bring a trailer site"...

Open to ideas on what a realistic price would be..I want to give someone that wants to get dirty a fair shake but not give it away either. I just know Im not going to do it...HAHA

thanks
