Yeah they really spoil(er)ed it.

[giff]

Keeps the rear end "snug" to the road, at any speeds exceeding 30 MPH B-)

[Delibes]

Hm, if it is period correct, it could be worth some money!

[Silber Adler]

Regarding the 78 SD, I can appreciate the custom rear wing ( It might even increase fuel mileage.), but not the paregoric green color. I am not into bile.

Slammed Classy 1974 Mercedes 240D - $4500 (Bremen)

* Forgot to mention that I have about $25,000 worth of maintenance and documentation dating back to the early eighties
* Both CV joints and boots in the rear are newer
* The rear suspension has been modified some as of Jan 22nd.
This is a feeler only. I do not have to sell or trade. this is my beautiful 1974 240D and runs flawlessly. working heat, AC, PS, defrost, everything in this vehicle works. Just did oil change around 780 miles ago. good brakes, It is slammed. It is not on cut springs, so the ride is more comfortable than any car I have ever owned. Original paint. painted hub caps really make the car stand out. this car has a newer motor and tranny in it (have receipts). This car gets looks wherever I go. you wont believe this unless you see it. Interior was re-done about 20 years ago. new exhaust, This has a CLEAN TITLE. feel free to call or text anytime. (405-245-2419)

I am looking for cash (it is king you know) and certain trades. I will entertain trade offers on Euro cars and old JDM (datsun, nissan, toyota) mainly bmw or other mercedes. or audi. I would love a BMW 2002 or a e21 or e28. I will entertain all offers though. thank you

I worry posting these that I could offend a member if it is their car!

I can definitely tell you that no Peachparts member will use memes to sell his car.

[kwoody]

Haha good general rule of thumb! I'll keep that in mind in the future!

Nothing $3000.00 can't fix.

As is, I would offer $1000.00 USD.

FYI: Slamming, chopping, dropping, tubbing, etc, reduces vehicle value in 99.9% of cases. If the mods are too extreme, the vehicle becomes scrap metal.

Exactly my reasoning. Some people obviously like these mods, because they spend the money on them. But most of us, I would say, enjoy them just as they rolled out of the factory.

where in the world does that figure come from? it should be $40 total for all four stock springs at lkq, then sell the sport springs for profit.

it looks to be a really clean nice car. ?

[Delibes]

The price is right for scrap, but it is what it is: scrap. Interior destroyed, rusty, run on WVO... but hey, you can make your money back out of the tail-lights and the wheels. If it happens to run, well, it may actually allow for the widest grin to ever grace a human face!

1979 diesel 300td Mb with grease kit

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

So, I have a 1979 diesel Mercedes Benz 300TD station wagon. It has a plantdrive grease kit installed in it (that is currently disconnected, and may need a new part or two, or a good cleaning) I haven't run it on grease in about 3 years so I cannot guarantee it would work! Someone may want this car to fix up OR even just to take the grease kit out of it. I cannot promise anything with it though!
The car has issues... but if you know much about cars, they may mostly be very easy fixes, not sure! Car was getting by fine until the lights stopped and I couldn't afford to deal with it.

1.) Car is not starting right now, but may just need a new battery as I have not driven it in a while.
2.) Gas pedal sticks. scary, but if you stick your foot under it, it stops
3.) floor in the back left gets filled with water everytime it rains. may just be a leaky door seal?
4.) Blinkers and brake lights are NOT working.
5.) car is starting to mold due to not being driven
6.) some rust
7.) odometer has been broken since I owned it so don't ask how many miles are on it. i have no idea, but I do know the previous owner took great care of it. I have been failing at that for a while now though

I'd love to see someone make this car work again because when it runs on grease it is practically free to drive, and just needs a little love, I think.
It is also not registered or insured so the car could not be driven away from here. I have the title but it is not printed in my name, just signed over, so hopefully that would not be an issue!
more pictures upon request!

asking $500
thanks for your interest!

[eatont9999]

Why on earth would you take a beautiful, good running car like that and part it out? This is another thing about CL that bugs me. Why do people take perfectly good cars, hack them apart and sell each piece? Someone like me might have been interested in buying the whole thing at a reasonable price.
