Arrow Looking For My 240d. I Miss It Alot...

I bought a 240D in 1982. I only used it for awhile then stored it here in NYC for a looooooooooooong time. When I sold it a couple of years ago, i think like 2-3 yrs ago it only had a whopping 2500 miles put on it!! I sold it to a guy who lived somewhere in the Dakotas. The guy flew in and picked it up and drove it back. In 1982, I had bough the car for $21,000 and I sold it for $15,000. About 3-4 months later, I see the car on EBAY selling for $25,000 and it was bought by someone, I dont know who... Now I really miss it and I want it back.

It was Midnight blue w/ Palomino MB-Tex interior. It was as basic as it can get. Manual tranny, roll down windows, etc...

If anyone here knows the person who bought it... plz tell me. I will like to buy it back.... or would like to hear how it is doing

Thanks for the warning.
My wife always want me to get rid of my low mileage 300CD (it's been sitting a lot of the past 18 years), but I know I'll regret it. Best luck to you.

Didn't the car appear twice on Ebay? Have you tried a search on completed auctions?

I knew the car was on ebay when I was looking for it. I even emailed the seller who had it but the person didnt believe that I was the original owner.. It was on twice and was selling for $25,000. Who ever has it is very lucky and I should of never sold it. It is really One in a million. THANK YOU ALL!!
