And no, I did not send it.

I realize you didn't send that e mail, but whomever did is crossing a line. Their threat isn't part of banter back and forth that could be considered joking, it is a single directed threat against the car owner.

Car makers spend millions and years in design studios to get things "right" so making a one off at home is going to be difficult. The rear is uninspired but the front looks like a Euro car with a bit of split bumper 70 1/2 Camaro RS thrown in. The lower sides could use some sculpting and better wheel opening angles but I don't consider it truly awful.

I'm not into that kind of car but I do look at all modified cars for interesting design elements. Besides, these cars aren't exactly national treasures worth millions so no great loss or gain.

Look at cars from the past that were considered radical departures from the norm. The 30's Chrysler Airflow was deemed the Pontiac Aztec of it's time , the 40's Buick Wildcat show car was considered way out there. Looking at them now they are not considered too far out there.

The is also the constant cry that cars today all look the same and cars from the era that one grew up in all looked different. When growing up one has more time to look for fine details that make cars look different, as time passes one stops looking at the fine details. As an example, look at the radiator grille of a 1928 Chevy , Ford and Dodge , they all look the same to someone that isn't familiar with them.

Aesthetic automotive design is a tricky thing, it must appeal to a wide ranging audience in the span of 10 seconds and keep the attention of a smaller sub set for 4 + years.

while i really like the idea of the thread, i have been looking at alot of the posts, and not all the posts are turds. some may be over priced, but not all are turds. just cause some one modified them with rims, paint or whatever doesnt make them a turd. it means that the car doesnt fit your style, tastes, or whatever. sorry rant over.

PS you can gripe about the price of these old diesel benzs going up, but really thats just a good thing for us. it means the ones that we own are only going up in value. kinda like buying guns. solid investment. better then the stock market or the bank... just my 2 pennies.

eatont9999 04-28-2013 07:54 PM
Some modifications are pretty tasteless, I must say. Mis-matching rims, ugly paint, and a "body kit" make these elegant cars look like a Frankenstein rice burner from the movie Fast and Furious. The kicker is that no real maintenance was done, the car runs like crap and the interior is either trashed or modified into some ugly and stereotypical style. The seller usually wants bukus of money for the car since so much was spent on the modifications. The problem is people buy these cars because it is a "Benz," spend a ton of money on mods and then realize that the car needs actual maintenance and then it goes up for sale.

Oh contrair morfrayer! A simple case of apples y naranjas. Follow please...

Design=tricky=true=certainly. Millions+years=meesagrees. But the journey=the rub.

Today=focus groups+beanies+whatevs+whocares. Yesteryear=artists+ "BUDGET" WTF is that+pride+crafstmanship+yaddayaddys so on n soforths. Two diametrically opposed approaches and therein lies it. I look at the current landscape and most if not all jap trashcans induce nausea. Same for bloated and helpless sundry domestics. Geeeee, next year do ya think ya can make a camaro with eleventy-billion horsepower? Yaknow the same fuglee eyesore as last years with the capacity to consume all the energy under my local gas station? We DO STILL OWN YOU YAKNOW!

Little clarity before butthurtedness runs amok. Yes even trashcans slapped the threepointer roll down the highway, so there. In droves too! And I have NSX's and supra friends. Neener neeners :P

BUT, please keep the old man jokes to a minimum. Those hurt. Muh peepers just aint wuht they used ta bay.

And you just had to bring up the aztec didentchya? Guess we now know at least one more who got rooked with that one. HAAHAAAAA /wilson. Seeeeeeeuuuuukkkker! Justification is the purest form of peoplewatching for me. Whuuuuuuuut?

RANT ON my brotha. Helps with the fine tuning.

Not sure I'm seeing the appreciation in value as you are( I did say my eyes aint the best) but man CANNOT AGREE MORE on the solid investments tidbit. Ermmm, except my last build, well I kinda got swept up and overpaid 3 to 4 hundy and I still gotta mill the lower and get it coated! OUCH, two large stacks n I still can't empty any of my ten new clips errrrr "rebuilds."

Howzabout that Finklestein err Frankenstein err whatever that bag calls herself. Keep trying to ram that bill through, someday right? you only got, whut? a decadeorso left. Waste it away in futility. [wilson] HaHAAAAA! [/wilson]

Small suggestion tho: don't ruin a good post with mention of casinos, rackets, ponzis, krookid shenanigans and so on and soforth. Allow the feeble minds there bliss bloated pleasures, but no need to point out the wreckage from train destroyin shortbus. Blessings come in all varities :winkwink:

another turd .. 4 Mercedes Diesels (all 123 body)

Quote:
4 Mercedes Diesels (all 123 body) - $3000 (broadway/campbell)
I am moving and getting rid of my too many projects. I have 4 Mercedes diesels. They are all almost identical and 95% of the parts are interchangeable between the cars. They all need some work but all were daily drivers of mine at one time. Basically the short story is that there are enough parts to make 3 excellent running and looking Mercedes. I list a brief description of them below but for more info just call me. I know each of these cars intimately and will go through them and explain what each one needs and what I would recommend to do to get them back on the road. I really like these cars a lot and want them to go to a good home. I would really prefer to sell them all together. If you are mechanical and want to get into bio diesel you could fix them up and keep your favorite (hint: the one with the manual transmission) and easily make a good profit from the others. They are all basically rust free and there are enough good body parts for 3 cars with some left over. None of the cars has more than a very small dent anywhere on them. I think all the glass is good except 1 crack in 1 windshield of the 4.

1978 300D - 5 cylinder 3 liter, auto transmission. 300Ds have power everything and sunroofs.

1979 240D - Upgraded to 5 cylinder 3 liter, auto transmission. Has manual windows and no sunroof like all 240Ds.

1980 240D - 4 cylinder 2.4 liter, 4 speed manual. This is super rare. I have never actually seen another one with a manual in the US. This model is in the Mercedes museum as the highest mileage car ever. They have one with 2.7 million miles on it that was a cab in Greece (not a typo). Because of the manual it gets incredible gas mileage. Even though it is a 4 cylinder, the transmission makes it faster than even the 5 cylinder turbo. It has manual windows so they won't break. It even comes with a Yakima rack. If you drive economically it can get just over 50mpg. Thats for a big luxury car, not a Honda Civic. I will absolutely not part with this car unless all the others go too. I will probably be kicking myself for a long time letting this go. You may never see another one. :(

1983 300D Turbo - 5 cylinder 3 liter Turbo. Power everything and sunroof.



Just call me for more info there is to much about these to list here. I have some parts and expensive specialty tools and 2 manuals that go with them if sold all together. I'm not looking to make a killing on these, just pass them on for a reasonable price to someone who will appreciate them. If you buy them I will be available anytime to answer questions and give advice on any problems you run into getting them on the road. I know where to find parts reasonably and where to get any info you could need if for some reason I don't know, which is unlikely.

I'll take some photos soon and put them up here.

This diesel-engine Benz has seen better days by far. It is OVER 30 years old but yes, it still runs. I use it to make short trips in and around town with little to no problems. I wouldn't dare drive it for long hauls because I don't know if it would give out on me or not. I drive it about once a month so that it is not just sitting around. I stopped fully driving it last year when I bought another car. I fixed things on it as they needed it; i.e. Brakes in 2011. Not much went out on the car. It's just really old and everything probably needs to be replaced. Technically, the car has reached "collector's" age since it is over 30 years old, but because it's an original German made car, it will be an expensive project for someone to make it like new. Please give me a call if you are interested.

-sorry 3500 is the asking price-


makes me feel like i got a real deal on mine...lol

I do love how that lower paneling just POPS tho.

4k?!?!? On what planet? OIC must be the 116 miles. Talk about LOW Mileage. OK. The rest of the car is yelling 250k+ in some sort of cryptic tongue. As well as rejecting the cluster transplant it recently received. Strange.

O and would someone mind deciphering the body of the ad please. Six hours and I'm still stupified.

Are we listing cars here now that the ad also says they are a turd or just ones that are turds in makeup, because this ad states that basically everything needs replacing and they would advise not going for too long of drives with it, yes they are delusional about the price but, not really a misinforming ad.

Gonna have to disagree with ya there my dear Watson. A 603 leaking coolant, looks like it was painted with a mop and blatantly mis-advertised? At best a 750 dollar parts car. C'mon man, try not to make every detail you list in the ad a complete fabrication. Another would-be conster, I'm TOTALLY shocked. So it seems this covers all the bases here:

1995 Mercedes Benz E300D - $3999

1995 Mercedes Benz E300D

This is a 1995 Mercedes Benz Diesel, the engine is solid as a rock I use only Rotella diesel oil mixed with Lucas oil every 3,000 miles and the transmission shifts great. The car is 18 years so it has a few issues but it is a drive-able car, I drive it every week for long trips because I get 27 mpg in the city and 35 mpg on the highway. The Wire harness is gone so new owner needs to get a new one therefore the temp, gauge and heater plugs do not work right, sometimes I start it a little starting fluid, if you find the wire harness the labor cost is only $150-200. The heating works but the A/C needs servicing but has a brand new compressor. I just replaced the radiator for over $500.00. Brand New Battery.
The back windows do not work and the sun roof too. But this baby will take you from Miami to Canada and back with no trouble, this engine can go over 500,000 miles it has approx. 237,000 miles now and still counting. When this baby heats up it moves like a Humvee. Email me for more information.

Trade for ELMO?!?

I don't quite know what to make of this ad. The car itself doesn't look bad and I appreciate them conveying that it has a blown head gasket which they "fixed" with Bars Leak Head Gasket Fix, but the price is relatively high, and the trade request is simply bizarre.

Trade 1985 Mercedes for Elmo Toy (plus)

You are looking at a Great Looking 1985 Mercedes-Benz 190E, 139k miles, 4dr, 4cyl (2.3L, 8-valve, gasoline; single row timing chain) fuel injection and 25 mpg. Attractive silver over gray leather. The body & paint are in Great condition! It is loaded with: 4-speed automatic trans, a/c, p/s and p/b. It has electric sunroof, seat, mirror, cruise control, windows, am-fm cassette. Runs very good on the freeway and a little rough in the city. Does need some TLC (small head gasket leak; sunroof and rear window need fuse or motor, front seat and rear bench) . Installed Bars Leak Head Gasket Fix for $37.00; uses sodium silicate and works with any anti-freeze. Put in about 6 months ago and the car is running Very good. Clean inside & outside and non-smoking owner.

Looks and handles like a new car; original stock condition; no accidents. Has good tires; IRS rear suspension, 4-way disc brakes; factory alloy 15" rims (spare also). Garaged & detailed. Has a new water pump, fuel filters and full Bosch tune-up. All DMV fees are paid up to date.

Retail prices for 190E's are $4000 to $7775:
1985 Mercedes-Benz 190E 4 Door Sedan Value, Prices & Specs | NADAguides | NADA 1985 Mercedes-Benz 190E Book Value & 1985 Mercedes-Benz 190E Market Price

$3000 or best offer. Trades considered (small pickup, Elmo Toy, etc.). Please send an email with your offer -- and include photos. Thanks.

If the car is listed, then it is still for sale.

[IMPORTANT NOTE from Shortsguy1: this video from the CL ad contains Adult Language and has mature themes. It was in their ad, so I included it here, but it is not very kid friendly, nor is it best to play it at work like I just did by accident.]

Well, it may not be a CL turd....depends on cost. If it's $500, it's a CL deal...as a great parts car. If it's $2K with runs good....turd!!

Agreed. The engine alone would be worth $500 if that was the total cost for the car. Even at $1,000 it would be a bargain if you needed a good engine and trans. Any more, and I would agree- a turd.

I might get it and part it out. We'll see. I want the money to buy another NA 606 I'm looking at that needs a lot of lovin'. So this could contribute to the build and my 99 if it's as good as they say and I get it even cheaper than $500.

now, come on... ya can't list just a picture and call it a turd...

it's gotta be the complete ad, and turd status depends on what the seller is asking for it...
however, those AMG wheels are worth 500 by themselves...:D

He probably did not want to show the location or ad so he could get it cheap before someone else did!

How did you know? :D;) he's asking $900 but I'm calling in about 15 minutes to see what's going on with the car.

Awww shucks you beat me to it! LOL. But I called, he said it was driven daily until it was smacked. So if my heart would agree today, I'd be up there in 45 mins. It's worth a look at this point. But the price bothers me if he doesn't come down.

vstech 11-06-2013 02:03 PM
if it runs and drives and starts well, with those wheels, it's worth 1200... go get it.

assuming you need a W123 that is...

oh, when searching PA CL adds, I noticed an 84 I think listed as a 300D, but it's plainly a TD in the pictures... he is asking 800 for it, so it may be worth a look...

I don't need one necessarily, but it's going to be parted so when I feel good I'm borrowing my buddy's trailer and taking this SOB home. I also saw that 300TD, it crossed my mind. I might talk to the owner of the 300TD if this one doesn't work out for some odd reason. It'd be my first wagon ownership even if it was just going to be parted. :cool:

This may be a
 
1984 Mercedes coupe new price

for the asking price.

It's because of that super rare repair manual on the passenger seat! :D

Doesn't bother me, they made hundreds of thousands of W116's.
