I was stopping for lunch at one of my favorite Mexican resturaunts and spotted this beautiful 300SEL 6.3 pulling in at the same time. I talked to the guy and he said he owned it for 20 years, going through the car thoroughly about 5 years ago, including alot of suspension work and a nice respray. It has 130,000 miles on it.

After paying him a bunch of compliments and telling him that this is one of my bucket list cars, the conversation turned towards my wagon. After doing the run down with everything, he asked me if I wanted to trade straight across. He wanted something newer and more reliable, and really liked the sporty look I've given mine.

I'm meeting him at his house after work to test drive eachother's cars and trade titles. Here's some iPhone photos:











I'm kidding. It was just parked in the lot and I snapped some photos

Tyler, Nice looking 6.3! I'd make that trade, in the future it will be harder to find a good quality 6.3 apposed to finding another E320 wagon.

Last year I traded a non running '74 240D for '60 ponton she runs, but is in fair to poor shape... I love older cars!

Play close attention to driveline sounds and the noise level of the rear differential, which is a weak link in this model. I assume that you will flip this pretty quickly if you buy it, as this is not a cheap date.

I like the bbs rims. I think you need some older cars back in your mix again too

I had to look at each photo carefully, but I finally see what you are talking about. That is a very low production Euro-only option on the W109. If it's in good running order, grab it..

are you talking about the headlights??

I am convinced that you either (a) live on another planet that is lush with MBs, or (b) literally everybody in KS is absolutely crazy (leaning towards this one). How do you find these things, let alone get a trade!?! Holy crap!
