I would speculate the rust and location of vehicle. It would be great to eyeball those jack points closer.
1900 Hits on that car - one bid.

Will someone please tell me why do I constantly see the following : Vac' leak, easy fix, last one cost less that $50.00"

"Slight valve cover oil leak...easy fix."

"You have to slam drivers door, needs adjustment...easy fix."

etc

etc

etc..............Why not fix the minor problem rather than having to explain it !

And another thing.......
If, as he says, these motors are good for 500,000 miles. WHY tell us about the engine work with new pistons etc if it's covered less thar 200,000 miles !

For example.......




*Notice: Vehicle is again available for purchase!*

For sale is my 1982 Mercedes Benz 240d w123. It has a rare 4-speed manual transmission and 199,963 miles (just broken in for a mercedes diesel!).

. The engine seems to be in great shape with good compression as it starts up without any hesitation in under a second and runs very smoothly. ................. There are lots of new parts as evidenced by the papers found in the glove box including: $700 worth of work for 4 complete pistons, rod bearings main bearings, a head set, etc., $127 for an oil ring set, $90 for a new compressor with clutch, $92 for something else transmission related (can't read exactly what), plus a bunch of oil changes and things like that. ..........

These cars get super fuel milage, and will easily run for 500,000+ miles without a rebuild
.
It is also a great candidate for biodiesel. I am selling because I already own 2 other Mercedes W123's, and cannot afford to keep a third, no matter how much I want to. If the bidding hits $1,750, I willl go ahead and install a new battery, change the oil and filter, and replace the air filter and both fuel filters. If you have any questions please feel free to email me. Thanks for looking!


Eh ?
