Question What's this worth??

I don't have any pics but, found an
'85 300D turbo
White with blue interior
The good: Low miles, 75,000;
Interior is clean and seats are in very nice condition.
The bad: cracked dash from hot sun;
there is some surface rust small spot on the other side of where the antenna is; (passenger side) This is also where some bonehead installed an aftermarket rubber antenna and drilled into the body to do it!!
The rear passneger side door was hit in a gas staton and needs to be replaced. Owner says he has access to one in the same color...

The owner is a Haitian who works in a restaurant near where I get my WVO. He told me he's selling it in about 2 months , but because of his accent I couldn't understand why....(something to do with his wife..)
I haven't driven it yet but all the electric works and only 75,000 miles.

What's it worth?

I would doubt the miles are correct. Look under the vehicle and all around it. A 75000 mile vehicle will be really clean.

He'd have to move to Alabama or Georgia to stay away: he lives in South Florida. Most of the Haitians I've met with MB's dont think they are worth much. Could be a good deal.

It is really clean except for getting hit in a gas station; some dope drilling a hole in the right fender to put a antenna in; a cracked dash..from the Florida sunshine, and a spot of rust where they put the stupid antenna in.

As far as the Haitian; he has owned the car for 4 years and only drives it local to and from work. He got it from the original owner for $2,000. and painting 2 of his houses. The original owner was a wealthy old man with alot of expensive cars. As far as not trusting Haitians, I won't even go there.

SO, again What is it worth???
