Selling just one of these 2 300Es or the van would remove most of the heat in my life right now.
Delivery is possible!
Trades considered but only if it means that you get at least 2 of my vehicles for your one vehicle. (In other words, I need to end up with a net loss of at least 1 vehicle.) Obviously a vehicle would have to be worth at least as much as any combination of 2 of these vehicles are worth to make such a trade equitable. I am open to just about anything except Yugos, Fiats, or Renaults and I'm not too crazy about Audis either. (Although an Audi diesel would maybe work for me but it would have to be in like new condition or close to it.) Just about anything else is fair game.
Regards, Eric

Often times, a salvage title is required when a car is repo'd. It may have been a lease car, or was repo'd after the OO failed to pay the monthly payments and they sent the repo man after it.

what kind of mileage do they get?

They average 20 MPG in mixed city/ highway driving. A person could get much better fuel economy with these cars if they drove them more conservatively than I do. I not saying I beat on them like a teenager does (I'm 49 years old), but I'm not the most conservative driver around either. Let's just say there probably isn't too much carbon built up in the combustion chambers! (Which is a good thing!)

Last bump! After this, they are going on Graigslist. I had hoped to find good, MB loving homes for these cars and I have done my best, and the thought of some Craigslist goofball getting them breaks my heart, but they simply MUST go! I have entirely too many cars and trucks! More than what you see in my sigs. I have code enforcement goons that my vehicles and I are constantly dodging and it's getting old. If any of you have any better ideas for finding a home for these two, please post up!
Regards, Eric

Both of your MBZs

Eric,

I tried to send this PM, but you have exceeded your storage and need to clean out some of the old messages.

Call Caye's Auto Parts in Los Angeles, . . . ask for Caye. He love MBZs, preferably used. He pulled my fat out of the fryer a couple of times with my 190D and my 300D when I was in LA. He may be interested in taking both cars off your hands. He thought the price was reasonable.

:EDIT: number deleted.
xxx-xxx-xxxx

Tell him that Vicki told you to call him. I sent him the link to your thread, hopefully he has become savvy enough to load it up. I didn't see any phone number to give to him. Don't let his heavy accept deter you. He has a small shop and never turns away a Benz . . . LOL.

Torie

Thanks for the info! I'll call tomorrow. I hope he is in on Saturdays!

I've stopped cleaning out my PM box because I'm trying to encourage folks to ask their questions in the threads instead of in PMs. As I said earlier in this thread and others, it's best to only have to answer any given question once instead of repeatedly.

I know I need to clean the box out though. I will when no one is looking.
Regards, Eric

How goes the attempt to get the meter maid off your butt? My referral pan out?

Sorry, I haven't posted yet, but it's because I don't have any news yet because I'm still waiting to hear back from him. I called him Saturday, he told me he was in the middle of something and that he would call me back. I took that to mean later in the day but I guess I was mistaken. I didn't want to make a pest of myself so figured I would wait a day (Sunday) and then try him again on Monday. I will update Monday night.

Whatever happens I am still grateful to you for the lead.
Regards, Eric

Busy

He's always busy. I have been there for entire days where he has tried to get work done, but it tied up by the phone. i always have to call back several times. Also, don't worry about being a pest with him. Even his wife has to pester him . . . LOL. He just doesn't get the chance to return calls . . . he's that busy. Type "A" personality. He's also a great reference to have.

Also . . . were you ever a member of the SoCal AMC club? I owned a '68 Coupe (2-dr) and a wagon. I met Caye because I had trouble replacing a starter (GMC) on my Rambler. He is known for being able to track down a part, when no one else can. He also has a machine shop and a background in big diesel engines/trucks.

Back in the late 80s and early 90s, I was a member of "RAMC", Riverside American Motors Club, who was affiliated with "NAMDRA", but RAMC is no longer around. The guy who ran it kept saying that he needed others to step forward and take over running the club, but no one did so it fell apart. No one had the time and I had moved away. It's funny you would bring that up as I'm trying to join an AMC site as we speak but there is something wrong with the site. I just sent the Admin. an E-mail just before I came here tonight. I'm getting ready to do stuff with some of my AMCs. I've got so many cars they don't all fit in my sig. Would you happen to know where I can get right and left fenders and a hood for a 67-68 Ambassador? They don't have to be pretty, just real cheap. In fact I would prefer that they aren't pretty as they are going on a circle track car. Don't worry, it's an old cop car that is far too far gone to restore.

I called today and Caye again said he was "in the middle of something". He said he would "try to call tomorrow". Does this mean I should call him tomorrow afternoon or the next day?
Regards, Eric

AMCs

You can also reach me at my email: piccolovic@netzero.net

I used to have an ambassador that I purchased just for the engine. i have no idea where it is now. However, there used to be a junkyard NW of the intersection of the 605 and 210 Freeways that specialized in AMC. Owned by a Russian guy. I heard it changed hands (years ago in the 90s), so I don't know what they have these days, if they are still around (if that area hasn't been developed over). Also, ask Caye if he can track down the fenders for you. He's tied in with a lot of junkyards and has a booming side-business with reclaimed heads for motors.

I would still look at other potential buyers for the cars, but try calling Caye back. He gets crazy with all the irons he has in the fire.
