Craig's List TURD Thread SAVED PAGES
1982 MERCEDES BENZ 240D DIESEL, RARE, LOW MILES!
1982 MERCEDES BENZ 240D DIESEL, LOW MILES ... in what reality is 190K considered LOW miles? Okay, then! By popular demand, it seems that we all get a kick out of poorly advertised / overpriced / heavily modified / horrendous cars we find in Craig's List. So, why not make a spoof on the Alert Thread? I shall get everybody started.... "Runs on 20% Soydiesel and gets about 38-40 MPG". Boy, there is sure a reason why this place is called "Quality Motors"! 1983 Mercedes Benz 240D Diesel 4 Speed manual Trany Runs on 20% Soydie  Quote:
Can we update the original post to include some rules? This thread is going to be crap in the future if only stale links are posted. Perhaps:
This will keep the info beyond the short lifespan of a craigslist posting. What I find funny is the common erroneous use of "TD". When I see a listing for a 300TD, I like to look further, most of the time only to find a 300D.

notice how the "RARE" 240 AUTOMATIC has blue interior, and suspiciously, zero pictures of the dash?

You'd run out of room if you included all the ones on eBay!
Happy Motoring, Mark

on craigslist, the pics HOSTED are easily added to the post by right clicking on the pics, choosing copy image location then in the post reply section, manage attachments, and paste the location into the upload from url field. repeat for all pics, then just copy and paste the text from the ad into the reply section...
I.E. the last thread I started... it's a good example of a turd listing, and it's got all the pics and text included in the thread. I'll move it to this thread. heck, I'll add this thread to the sticky thread! ... are the 240's REALLY worth this much? merge the thread into this one, but it's got so many replies it'd be hard to do... I could copy just my first two post in here though.

a better way is uploading to the PeachParts server like I did in my post. I tried to upload your pic, only to find it's too large to upload. so now we need to add the rule pics must be resized to fit in the upload section!

Would everybody agree that this thread, as well as the "alert" thread, would make more sense in the For Sale / Wanted section? I definitely see vstech's point here.

our forum has always had both an ebay alert thread, and a craigslist alert thread. this one would be totally useless in the for sale/wanted section... NOBODY in their right mind would WANT anything from something posted in this thread! however, I put the poll up, to gauge members response to the thread's usefulness. looks like the majority like the thread, if that changes, I'll take it up with the other moderators and move it or something... everybody needs to vote!

Sounds fair! If the thread becomes useless, feel free to delete/move it!
Now, here's a 50MPG W126. With those wheels, where has this been all my life?
