I cleared $5400 for my admittedly rough SDL when it got totalled earlier this year. I don't question NADA, I just took the money and ran with it. Turned a tidy profit by writing off a car.

Post '86 / '87 300SDL Value

NADA is just dreams unless you use it to get renumerated .

A few years ago we bought Tom's near pristine 1987 300SDL with ice cold A/C , good paint and everything working for $3,500 in Los Angeles.....

He's still driving and loving it .

This seems like a solid price given what TDs are going for nowadays. Interested to know if there's more to the story about why it's on non-op though.

Post $6,900.00 300TD

It could well be a good one, I'd want it up on a hoist to check for rust & collision damage ~ it has newer license tags, could me a thing, could be nothing .

Cold AC is a very good thing .

Post Fort Worth 240D

The paint clearly shows out door storage.....

It might be a nice car to up fix but depends on how it looks in person .

Even in Southern California these usually have rusty floor and trunk pans .

Maybe a really good look underneath and test drive is in order .

I can't see it being worth this much even though it's a nice rig .
