They're smoking crack. The one that recently sold on ebay was green and didn't sell first go. Second time it went for $4k. Very tempting, but it was across the country from me...then again, I bought my roadster from CT.

$75k...I wonder what I could get for mine once finished. He he he.

The 1980-1982 W123s with 85mph speedometers did have the chrome dot in the middle.

I rather like the looks of it.

Take off a zero and the price is maybe not so bad.

I do think it's probably a typo. Surely no dealer would think the car is worth nearly $75K. ... If they do, then they'll be sitting on it a good, long while.

Hey, I know what it's like, I roll down the windows in the TDI so I can hear the lovely turbo spool up...

It was time for the Excursion to go, the new Suburban is just so much better. We never had any major problems with it...by all means, get one if you want it...the "straw that broke the camel's back" was one little incident of filling it up with $100 of *ahem*gas*ahem*.....yeah don't ask

It must've been because we never fill up at the pump
It ran fine after getting it all out, but yeah...traded it in three days later...

Ok, I agree it is probably a typo.... However, if it isn't, I think I would rather be driving this from their inventory (for 5 grand less).

Might trade in everything I own and just barely make the down payment !
