How can you tell that it's a dash cap? You sure it's not a whole new dash? You raise a good point, though. No way to judge the car's value from those photos. If it's as good as it looks from a distance and if a buyer really wants that type of car, then I would not quibble with the $21K price. The OM617 is a piece of history, IMHO. Probably couldn't re-sell it for that, but if that's what you want and you can afford it, why not? If I had extra cash and found a W123 sedan in that condition, with turbo, AC, manual HVAC controls, a stick, and a stellar maintenance history, I would pay $21K all day long. The 121,000 on the odometer wouldn't bother me a bit.
