The Owner of the Shop I go to here in North Miami has two cars he offered to sell me as a package; What do guys think of the price?? Many here truly have a more realistic idea on prices then I have. Here's a description--the good and the bad!
Car #1) 1981 300TD(4 dr.) Auto, 175,000 miles,Blueext.. The bad--paint faded bad,no rust,interior needs a good detail, dash has 5-6 cracks, needs tires. The Good-2 years ago-complete Valve job,newseals,complete(professionally). Rebuilt Injector Pump-everglades rebuild& calibration--great job($1100 owner's price) Starts in a heartbeat,idles and accelerates like no tomorrow. Has 3 small dings on rear quaterpanel. No smoke on startup.Tranny shifts great.
Car#2--1986 300 SDL--226,000 miles. Auto. Dark Blue ext.The Bad--Has a Transmission issue(won't shift out of 2nd gear if I remember right.Had the car as a loaner a month ago and it drove great out on the interstate-who knows what happened-(its one of the owners loaners, as is the above MB) needs an A/C compressor. Has a rust area about 3"x2" on top of right rear fender. Sunroof does not work. The Good-- Interior fairly clean, needs a good cleaning, a few trim issues-nothing major except sunroof.Starts immediately with no smoke,idles smooth. Ext. Paint--Good, no fading.Looks like the backseat area was never used--like new. Good used tranny at owner's price $550(not including installation)
Both cars were bought from customers of the Owner-so their are maintenence records (very detailed) going back 20 18-19 years.
Wants $3500 for both--a good deal???
