Hey guys,

While looking through Craigslist I found a '95 300D with 250k miles on it. The owner wanted to start selling it for parts but I was able to visit the car before items were removed.

The clear coat is cracked but there isn't a single dent on the car. Interior is "good".

The owner said 2 years ago the transmission just stopped working. No fwd or reverse gear and that this happened suddenly while his wife was driving the car. No one has checked into what the issue is but he thought it was a linkage issue toward the top of the shifter because he began to take the shifter out from the top.

The car wasn't on blocks so the tires are flat and not good anymore. Engine starts right up. All fluids look good. Transmission fluid is a nice color red and smells fine.

I crawled under the car and there is mild surface rust on the suspension arms and it appears the car lived some of its life in the northern climate.

Any idea what a car like this is worth? She needs to be saved.
