Nice Grab Bag of Parts
Guy sold his 99 E300 a couple of years ago. Was selling the following box of parts for $50: set of front pads (MB brand), oil filter, fuel filter, cabin filters, and a glow plug relay. About $300 worth of parts. AND he remembered that he had the W210 service manual on DVD, which he threw in for free since he didn't need it anymore. He seemed happy with $50, I was certainly happy with the parts.
How often do glow relays go bad? Happy to hang on to it or I could sell it I suppose.

You are on the horns of a dilemma. If you sell the glow plug relay one of yours will fail. If you do not one never will.

I just wonder how likely they are to fail. Of course, with two W210's, odds are the one will eventually fail.

Hord the parts, ya can`t have too many parts. Then you can be the "Parts King" LOL. He that has the most parts when he dies....wins.
Or you can be in the delima Iam in and have to move all them parts to another State like Iam doing now. For instance...a box of GP relays....like maybe 25 of them LOL. I have real insurance not one of them will ever go out. By the way...nice score of the parts box. Couple years ago I had the same thing happen, guy down the road got rid of his 190-E 5-spd and gave me a parts box of parts, and a Bently`s MB shop Bible. think there are 2 new engine mounts. Charlie

Agreed. Hey, have you been spying on me and looking in my yard and garage at all my MB parts?

Well with inflation being active. Include the relay in your portfolio. Then if
everything goes upside down you will still have the relay to fall back on. Actually if it is a new one it's value should move to the upside anyways. Or at least it is more probable. On that and the other basis mentioned in an earlier post. I vote it as a hold for now. Personally I have too much crap around yet at the same time resist disposing of it. It's just a disease I suspect. I just have no ideal of why I keep all the stuff. So I should find a stuff anonymous meeting place perhaps? This ideal that I will use it all at some point borders on the insane. |

If I cannot locate something I have. Asking her where she thinks it might be produces more results than one would expect. It is not a failure of my long and short term memory as it has always been the same. I would hope no other member suffers this disorder but logic indicates at the same time I am not totally alone. I need my meter that has a capacitance function today is a good example. . It is not where it should be. A quick search has not turned it up either. I try to put all tools back where they should be. When I mess up it is just a pain in the posterior sometimes. No make that almost all the time when it happens. Has to be a few times a year anyways. Then there are things that can really just irritate as well. Say there are twelve wrenches in a metric set. If there is one missing for some reason unacounable or otherwise. It will almost always be the size you need. Some things just seem to almost run in parallel with death and taxes. The nicest thing about having a parts car that never occurred to me before. All the parts are in one place you cannot forget. The worse thing about a parts car is you may still be driving it. Last edited by barry12345; 11-26-2014 at 03:00 PM. |

Jooseppi, You are just in the beginning steps of step one. Wait till you still have these parts when you are 70+ yrs old. That will be around 50 yrs for you, just think how valuable they will be then, when some guy is looking for W123, 124, 126 parts etc..... and they can`t be found.
OH....there is a 50% off sale at PNP this weekend. Charlie

Too bad I did not listen. Cars like a mint thirty nine ford for 125.00 or a fifty mercury in great condition for three hundred or even a pristine forty eight ford with 28K miles for a hundred dollars. There were many others as well I acquired. Looking back today it is ridiculous what any of us did not do. At least I caught the upward trend in real estate prices benefit. Normal guys need a break to really get going in my opinion. Or it make life easier at least. I am not sure today that the breaks will be as common as nobody knows what they will be. By the same token many of us older guys had no more really certain awareness in our time. So basically it was just a case of circumstances and probably will remain the same. I am one of those guys over seventy now incidentally. |
