It appears to be a clean little car -but- the enthusiasts for these NA cars are all long gone, this one if not drastically reduced in price will be crusher fodder ere long .
'ran out of fuel and towed home' ~ yeah, maybe but also could be one more thrashed to death or timing chain snapped etc. pig in a poke deal..... I too think it looks like a builder but..... -Nate Quote:

I remember the hoi polloi hating these when new, I rode in one a few times and it was nice but *very* cramped ~ I only have a 32" inseam so that means it really is snug inside .

Oh MY, this is a beauty
Looks beautiful. a few things bother me though (Not My ad or Car)
1. The odometer broke when I hit the trip reset while rolling, so the mileage is showing about 10k lower than it should 2. The wagon gets about 35 mpg to start. 3. It has a SVO/WVO single-tank conversion which I have not tested and used https://phoenix.craigslist.org/cph/cto/d/1987-mercedes-benz-300td/6534294502.html

The odometer thing is BULL**** ~ anyone who's ever actually taken one apart knows this .
Nice car ! . ? $9K ? -really- ? . I guess I'm spoiled living in Southern California .

I don't know how hard this would be to correct, but $6000 (or $4000 with a little negotiation?) seems decent for something that new...even if the guy drove it like a douchebag snowboarder.

Depends what you want out of it. Replace the transfer case and go might make it a deal. You might as well buy a more loved one instead of having the dents professionally repaired - $10K buys this - https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/ctd/d/2007-mercedes-benz-class-320/6541299348.html .

The S140 must have been a terrible car ~ the California junkyards are littered with them, almost every one with shiny paint and perfect upholstery....

Personally I'd love a 140 chassis. Even if it is less reliable and more expensive. It's essentially the last "true' Mercedes.
