I thought that was a high price but apparebtly there are people who buy for that price.

That is a bit on the high side. Maybe i'm cheap but I wouldnt pay any more than $5k for that wagon.

I do. I bought mine 2.5 years ago in Dallas. Full books & records, very clean, everything worked - you know the drill. Only 90K miles. The seller had a line of people out the door waiting to buy it at $12.5K.

There's one advertised today in the Grand Rapids (Michigan) Press for $5500. Don't know it's quality, but that seems like a reasonable price.

Where/How was that car posted?

Now I'll know where to sell my 190E.:D

Can't find it in the Press
 

Hey Dweller,
I can't seem to find the wagon you spoke of in the GR Press, just curious? By the way, my son is really enjoying the 240D! Tonight he's pulling his CD player/stereo out of his previous car to install in the 240. Double bonus for me, since my wagon didn't come with a stereo, I get the Becker to put sound in my wagon again.

When the weather warms up, some of my friends around here and I are going to have a Diesel shindig, say on a Saturday afternoon, we'll make sure we invite you so you can get the "coupe" out for a romp, okay? Thanks again,:)

Kirk:

I cannot find that in GR Press either. There were a couple 123 sedans for sale.

If I had a bigger garage, ...

Yes, we need to get together sometime. Diesel DOn and I met in Rockford once.

The ad reads:

Mercedes Benz 1987 300TD--Turbo diesel wagon, smoke silver, parchment interior. CD player, loaded, $5500. Call 308-5731.

What edition of the Press do you get?

GR get-together would be good. (Or maybe Rockford.)

Hey Dweller:

You're sweet. What a cool car you sold Andy! Glad to hear of another diesel head around here. Our club is growing. I think we have 8 of these 123's up here between Kirk, Phil and I. I'm mad at my alternator right now but that will wear off in an hour or two.
When the weather warms up, we'll get Bo down and invite Fryerpower down and get all ours together. Fun stuff.
