I think it is time
I have been procrastinating for some time but I think it is time for me to relinquish my 85 300D to a new caretaker. As much as I have enjoyed working on it, I do not have the time to devote to it any longer and I do not want to watch it deteriorate from lack of use. I was talking with the mechanic, a classic Mercedes enthusiast who just did the PA state inspection, about the best place to list it for sale and he suggested a website that I have not heard of before: Bringatrailer.com. Does anyone here have any experience with them? It appears to be an auction site that is much more comprehensive than EBay and is designed for interaction between the seller and buyer. The car is a low miles, no rust car and I want to find a buyer who is not just looking for a beater. Thanks for any input. I will list it on this site also in the For Sale section.

All cars require maintenance, but if not driving it and just parked outdoors in PA then it will deteriorate, so no sense keeping it unless you want to maintain it as a museum piece. I have heard many people use Bringatrailer, but don't know that a M-B diesel fits as more are looking for muscle-cars and pickups. Also look into coparts auction, but think you must deliver the car to one of their yards. This site has the most who appreciate the cars, but most also have enough cars already.

We also have a 2019 Outback. Good car, but a bit of a tank compared with our old Benzes. Only drive it on long trips.
