Okay, how much could i get for a 82 300D Turbo with 15K miles on it? Its been sitting out side since they parked it. Alternator went bad, so they just parked it and got a new car. Inside is pretty bad, so is the outside.

just need to know the price range...thanks for any expert advice you can give

newbie

With that much information I will make a deal with you. How about $100?

no


what more information do you need?

If I explained it by saying: The house is pretty bad...they just neglected it. It's a 4 bedroom. What is it worth?

To people into Benzes, that's about the same explanation you gave us on the car. How would you value the house I just described? No idea, right?

So pics, much more detailed descriptions, only 15K miles? Why so bad? Is leather ripped? Dash cracked? Paint faded? Everything rusted? How long ago was it parked? Etc etc.

Bruce

okay, okay got the point.

Inside:
Dash cracked from sun or heat damage.
Leather seats cracked and faded.
Some of the wood grain is gone.
Carpet would need to be replaced.

Outside:
Needs new paint job. Paint is faded in some areas. Very little rust from what I saw.
I'm going to go find out how long it has been sitting there when my grand maw gets home.
They said it would run if a new alternator got put on. Not sure, but if this is worth fixing up I will buy it from her and fix it up. It kinda scared me when it said only 15k on the dash, i asked if it broke and everybody just said that was the mileage they parked it on. Motor probably is worth getting it.

When i go down there i will get some pics. Is the motor going to make it worth anything since its only got 15k on it?

But it has 15,000 miles on it. Yea, right. Not even a mention how it runs. Bad interior? Has it been sitting ouside for 20 years?

Motors probably seized if it was sitting more than 3-4 years outside. Not to mention every seal is probably shot. Run, run away real fast.

so i should just leave this alone...not even worry with it?

Probably been sitting in a wooded barn/shed thing with an open door. So it was exposed to light and weather. When you drove up and you could always see the yellow head lights looking at you.

sorry if my spelling or grammar is off, the boss is watching...

Do those yellow head lights follow you as you walk around. Man thats kinda creepy.

Is it in a dry area like Texas, or wet area like some place flooded? If its dry then I doubt that its seized. A fresh charged battery will get it running, who cares about the alternator. I'll up the bid to $101.01
Has it been rolled over, or totaled? Does it smell like tuna inside? Does it have 4 different brand tires on it.

And finally....Get back to work!!!!!

Yeah, I was wondering where it was located at myself....And with only 15k on the clock, why would any of the wood be gone??? All 4 tires are probably dry rotted too....
