My new $250 benz
 

Its real cruddy and smokes real bad (pretty sure its blown turbo seals) but it sure does idle nicely. PO said it sat for 5 years.

Many thanks to tjsietz for the tow.

wow, looks like it has one foot in the grave. Hope you can do something with it.

What are your plans? Driver or parts? Good price for either route.:cool:

Parts.

Interior is color match for wifes car I think. Engine *seemed* to be in great condition other than creating LOTS of smoke. Ext is a color match for tjsietz car but most of the parts he needs are not so good. Interior is AWFUL. Sat for 5 years.....

Can't really beat a running parts car for $250, great find.

You gonna paint it like the General Lee? :D

it runs and moves, easily worth 250. Congrats!

wow what a deal, the wheels alone are worth more than that.

Pardon the alliteration.
 

But that's better
than a Buick in Bosnia!!

Could be a real diamond
in the rough. It might clean up really nice!!!

You never know. After a good cleaning, the cheapo $500 240D I bought last turned out to be in the best shape, body-wise than all the others I have.

Good find. If you are going to do the Dukes of Hazzard thing, time to go on a diet:D. the green flocking paint job is something new.
I never seem to locate these cheap cars around here, every one seem to think they are gold plated.

I rented a U-Haul trailer and that fender tilts sideways so you can open the door.

Looking in the back ground, looks like a nice area you live in, kind of earl.
some of these hoity toity neighborhoods can`t get away with much.

nice car trailer... mine is homebuilt for the most part, I have the deck high enough so all but the lowest cars' doors open over the un fendered tires... oh, and I have a winch for pulling on/off the cars. also a remote control for it, so loading/unloading is a one man operation.
I just took another look at your trailer... WOW that thing is HUGE. what is that 12" channel on the walls? and are those wheels 18" rims? GORSH! what do you haul normally with that thing? forklifts? backhoes?

Nice find, Rolf!

In what universe? Bundts are all over the place in yards.

Yeah, they are, but the price of any alloy wheel has gone bonkers. Two years ago, I could get a bundt WITH a (hopefully ) good tire on it for $14 in my favorite yard. Now, they want $25 just for the wheel, and they make you buy the tire for $10 even if it is crap. What is this world coming to?

Well, even at that price, 4 x $35 is still "only" $150.

The Pull-A-Parts around here only charge $11.48 for an aluminum wheel, tire or not.
