The high price of diesel fuel tends to drive prices lower for diesel cars. IMHO, best to hang on until diesel fuel prices drop.....

Sort of .

I'm a long time member of the national Met Club and I watch these cars come and go .

It takes close to $40,000 to restore one correctly ans it's never going to be worth that much .

Older well preserved cars with new paint & chrome in turn key go for under $20,000 including convertibles .

I may have a guy from Michigan who will take both cars, if so I'll give them away as they need to go .

Supposedly the price of gasoline dropped by .07 CENTS yesterday, on Friday some new tax is coming that bumps it back up .03 CENTS so whoopee I guess.

The California legislature is working on giving us back some fuel tax refund checks, last night they said that anyone early less than $125,000 (me an all my Blue Collar friends) will get a whopping $250 ~ gee, thanx *******s, I spend $100 every time I fill up now .

We should all feel good that the hundred bux we're spending on fill-ups is going to help the economy......

More like helping the 1%'ers because there's no excuse for current fuel prices .

A long time ago the gop deregulated fuel prices claiming 'supply and demand will make fuel almost free !" .

Funny how that didn't work out quite like the bootlickers hoped .

It never does, some things need to be regulated to prevent the 1% from robbing us all blind .

Amazing just how little money is worth today in general. When you have lived as long as myself.

Unfortunatly my long term memory works far too well still.

It was almost free a couple years ago, so what exactly are you saying here?

Back on the original topic of MB diesels;

Just watching BaT it seems the price on these cars was never really all that stable. You'd see a 240D go for crazy money, then shortly after an almost identical car, maybe even a better one, would struggle to make half the first car's bid. Now it seems we are seeing a lot of the non-turbo 300D's coming out of the woodwork. Those have always been sort of the "low man on the 123 diesel totem pole", so the frequency of those might be making it look like the average is sliding? Just a thought.
