for $2200 this one looks pretty clean -- just needs a blower fuse.

Famous last words. Might mean it just needs a CC head unit. Things I don't like to see in an ad for an old Merc: - just needs an a/c recharge (needs $2000 of HVAC work) - recently serviced (was it not serviced before now?) - minor surface rust (follow the rust) - transmission could use a vacuum adjustment (needs a new transmission) - lowered suspension (can't get it aligned) and the best one - minor blems as expected on a car of this age (it's an old jalopy) |

Seems the market for these old gems is diminishing.
I’m going to be selling off a few cars too, including my rust-free ‘95 E300 with 413,000 miles. I’ll probably have better luck advertising it as a set of Mercedes wheels with (literally) brand-new Michelin Premier A/S tires for $600... plus another $600 for an entire running car attached to them. What a deal! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

At least one of the last ones went out with a bit of a bang - a delightful '88 Euro 280se with the short bumpers, manual windows, velour seats, Euro headlights with vacuum level control which I got and the dual climate control which I, very stupidly, left behind.

I'm reasonable, look the car over see what it's worth to you and make a fair offer. You are a bit far, so tell me what you want pics of, and an idea what the car could be worth to you... a range from worst to best is fine. And I will take pics, video whatever ya need.

I'm actually looking into buying a commercial property outside the city limits and building a large metal building on it to store my favorite ones in... I have two sites I'm bidding on now... we'll see...

That's crazy the lengths you have to go to to keep a few cars...seems like any property outside city limits should do. I live in a fairly uptight CA city, and the neighborhood I'm in people keep cars on their property. But we also don't rat each other out to the city...

OIC...
in that case, I will see what pics I can post up for you, and see what shipping should cost. I think you would need to be here for the title transfer...

Please send me your address, I'd love to come take a look at this sedan as well as other cars. I've sent you my email and cell phone by p.m.
I've got a spare #20 head just gathering dust, and a nice OM603 w/ trans, only 148k miles, that I pulled from a wreck. Hate to leave it just sitting.
