the other day I posted that I won the bid for a 83 300D located on Long Island for $910 bucks. It advertised that the tranny slipped. On my initial drive, prior to bidding ,it surely did slip. Well I checked the fluid level that day and it wasn't even on the stick.I decided to bid anyway. A Great decision for once!
I went today to bring it home and before I attempted to move it I added the 2 Qts it was low. Guess What? The tranny is fine. Thats all it needed. Shifts nicer than my TD
The A/C blows cold and even the cruise works. I found the owners paperwork and it showed that this is a 1 owner car and was always serviced at an MB dealer. It was definately a garaged car and it appears the owner donated it to the Lung Foundation for the write off. This seller (dealer) I got it from buys all the charity cars. Guess who's getting first crack now at any MB he gets? MEEEEE!!!
It such a good feeling to "win" every know and then. Though as my luck always is, my 28 year old boiler started leaking bad on Thurs so tomorrow is "New Boiler day$$$$" Oh well, MIke
