Goodbye old friend....
I'm going to miss this car.... despite some of the issues I had... it was truly a great car.... I'd like another W210 maybe one day....

It's a shame you never found out the root cause(s) of it's engine failure.
I sure enjoyed my 99 E300TD, the years I owned it too..

It's not going to be parted is it? That would be a real shame. That's a nice looking w210.

That's too bad. I've got the same color and model. Great vehicle, but as you said, it has its share of issues to sort.

Nice looking car. I was interested in that one to put a motor in but never could figure out what part of the country it was in. I probably should hold out the fuel economy of a 190 though....this 125 miles a day for work commute is a lot of fuel.

:/ would like to keep it, but storage would cost money, insurance costs money to keep it on...a lot of money out for a car that's not operable... Engines cost 2550-15,480 looking at all the costs involved... Just not worth it.... I miss it terribly...

Even 5k to install an engine costs less than a single year of payments on a mid range new car.......I learned that lesson with my TDI, which I am dumping come spring. Far too expensive for a car that doesn't drive as nice as any of my MBs....I also shudder to think of maintaining it when the warranty is gone.
