Perhaps I could better explain myself. Rubber deteriorates over time, you can't do anything about that. You can try to preserve it for as long as you can, but it does go bad. Second, I was just saying about it being uber collectible because of your comment about it only being original once. While you do have a point, I'd rather buy a car that has had a quality repaint and ZERO rust than a car that shows original paint and rust. An original 123 with flaws is not as big of a deal as the Vette I specified. I was just making a comparison, not attacking you or your car. You are asking top price, and with the AC fixed and the rust taken care of, I'd estimate you are about 80% sure to get it on Ebay.

That all makes good sense. Thanks for taking the time to explain.

Never had one go bad in more than a million miles of driving MB diesels, since 1969.

Like has been stated earlier, you are not going to get a forum member here to pay 12k for that car. Most of the members here that buy old cars are cheapskates and do-it-yourselfers. They are looking for deals on cars they can fix up. This is why many have steared you to ebay. That is about the only place you will get anywheres near 12k.
I have something to add from personal experience, having owned a Mercedes-Benz continuously since 1969. The very fact that a car has spent time in the rust belt of road salt and chemicals has exposed it to the chemicals if driven on those roads when wet, long after an ice or snow event. All our Mercedes-Benzes that spent any time in the north country, even visiting several weeks a year, evidenced small rust spots at some point in their life at home in Texas. Some worse than others. It's an inescapable fact that has to be taken into consideration, especially if the car's paint has already bubbled in one or more spots. The rust belt, and, any extended time near the open seacoasts expose it to salt as well. As far as the price of $12,000? I would never give or offer anywhere near that figure.

So we can't afford them.

Tom, car looks very nice. I know you said that's all for now, so I'll wait anxiously for the engine pics. My biggest concern would be the rust on the hatch, can't tell if it goes under the rubber.
