For sale, daily driver, past 6 years 1985 300SD
Someone is coming to look at it tomorrow. They may buy it and part it out. What is a fair deal for that scenario? 410,000 mi

Ok, I should have read the instruction info about listing a vehicle.
1985 300SD, I purchased it in 2008. Got it with 273,000 miles, now 410,000 I have the car in Pittstown, NJ 08867 Looking for $1700.00 There is some rust at the rear wheel wells Finish looks bad, clear coat peeling and moonroof and hood are white, car is cream with Chocolate Brown Interior Worked on it from 2008 until now... Here's what i remember working on New shocks all around new calipers and rotors front bearings most of the front end rubber, ball joints control arms relay for the glow plugs new exhaust system flex discs starter 3 valve adjustments since i bought it vac line repairs to get transmission to downshift better gear oil swap in diff blower motor for climate control desoldered broken connections on climate control boards ac repaired, but only lasted a year... clutch froze up. never dealt with it again. alternator and adjustment bracket replaced Transmission filter and fluid change, at least twice had to replace hood and moonroof. moonroof is taped shut assorted electric repairs, small stuff, solder a rotten terminal end, change bulbs in trunk routine oil changes at 3000 to 3500 miles recently hit a deer. replaced the passenger side lights and grill. hood is bent a bit on pass side. got lucky, could have been much worse. New hoses that go from Oil filter housing to the oil cooler New radiator just replaced water pump needs trailing arm bushings on pass rear Two windows work. A third one needs the regulator, 4th one (electric problem) just got tired of repairing things every other weekend, or so, I decided to get something newer. My new hobby will be writing a monthly check for my car payment! It's a trade off...

How do you get 29MPG? I have never gotten close to that on my 81 300SD.

Tax deduction depends on your tax bracket. If your in the 18 percent range, you'll get 180 dollars IF it sells for 1,000. BIG if, I'd bet that car wouldn't get 500 dollars at a donation auction. There might be a floor on the deduct, i.e.; a minimum dollar amount. The donation game ain't what it used to be. At this point, the car's value is in it's parts, and at 410K miles, you've done got all the good that car had in it, ain't much left. Jim Jim
