Jas,

Don't be in such a hurry to give the car away. I have an '82 300D (Euro) with 290,000 miles on it and I wouldn't sell it for $2,500.

The fact that it's a "Euro" or "Grey Market" in the minds of some can be a detractor. However, these things are far easier to maintain than the US models and parts have never been a problem for me.

However, if you want to give it away, then somebody here ought to be smart enough to take if off of your hands.
