hi guys, i own a 1981 300TD well for short,, im interested in buying another w123 (300D) and i just like to know what are the price range for this kind of car? considering the car is GOOD.. any advice on what should i look or ask the owner before i buy the car?? BTW the car for sale is an 83'..thx in advance guys...

Please define good.

Good drive train but bad body? $400.00 to $2000.00

Good body but bad drive train? $400.00 to $2000.00

OK drive train and body? $1000.00 to $2000.00 will run and move.

Good drive train and body? $6000.00 to $13000.00 runs well and drives well, very few issues = scratch, stone chip or switch not working well.

100 point Concourse D’Elegance car = all the market will bear + 10%.... runs perfect and drives perfect, NO issues.

Check for any slippage in the tranny under light acceleration (cold and hot).

Other than that, if it runs with a solid body, 1200 - 3000
