Selling the Mercedes...
If the VW proves to be a fairly reliable car I think this March or April I'm going to try to sell the SDL locally or ebay it. Now isn't a good time to sell a diesel car, and I want to make sure the VW pans out since its going to be my only car for a few months. I know its not worth anything, but if I can get a couple grand for it I'll be happy.
Its been fun, but now its time to move on. I used to enjoy working on and washing my car, I don't anymore. I'm tired of wrenching, and frankly I hate washing cars. I'm also tired of the wallet drain that owning an old MB is, their is always a laundry list of repairs. I want to concentrate on my business, and use my free time for other things. I hardly fished or sailed last year and it's really getting to me. I'll drive the VW until the fall, than sell it and buy a late model pickup truck. I'll probably get another Mercedes at some point, but not sure when. Sixto here is your chance, $3k and its yours. (If anyone on the forum wants it and makes me an offer you can have it.)

On ebay most likely.
I'll throw in a bunch of W126 parts as well if you want, so whoever buys it come in a van/pickup. I have doors...seats...bumpers...and wheels.

1997 VW Golf, 2.0, 5spd. Paid $250 for it and put another $200ish into it. Its actualy in fairly decent shape, and runs well. Good enough shape that I don't mind driving it... I'm hoping to sell it for a profit.

I have a feeling you're going to regret selling it as it drives away....
Come spring if I have 3k of money floating around....I might look into it! I don't think I could ever go from a MB to a pickup or even a VW....it'd kill me. I drove our Rav4 around a bit today and it was pretty much torture....its loud, uncomfortable.....bumpy.....small....yuck. I'd rather bike.

The VW is a pos, and this fall its following right behind the Mercedes.
But its cheaper to run than the MB, and worth less and simpler to sell, so its staying around a few months longer. Thats replacing both of them...something with a 5 year 100k mile warranty.
