Seriously...these things are like crack...(another MB) - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

So, I'm not even finished with my FIRST MB diesel, and I'm off to look at another one later this week. Same specs as my current ride - 84 300D.

It will be interesting to look at one for sale now, versus when I bought mine several months ago - at least this time around, I'll have a hint of what to look for. Dude says it "won't start," but didn't elaborate. But for just a couple hundred bucks (my thought on purchase price), how wrong can I go???

I'm fired up!

I'll let you guys know how it goes...

PS - no, my wife doesn't know yet.

Stop now before your list of cars looks like mine. I started like that too...

Because ONE (or TWO) is never enough!

Happy Motoring, Mark

It is like crack... While I'm on this forum every night I'm constantly searching for benzes

the big drool of the night:

A 500SEC Euro with a reasonable BIN

Its probably a good thing that I live far away from cities full of plentiful benz deals. How do you guys in Texas, Florida, AZ, NM, and Cali do it?

Yeah, I know what you mean. My first one got off the truck on March 27, 2007. I bought my 2nd benz, just 4 days later. And look what has happen since.

That's impressive! I think I need to move into a house with a larger garage...maybe some property with a pole barn. Not a whole lot of room with the one car garage and single-wide driveway.

I would suggest you opt for the pole barn. A 3 car garage is NOT big enough.

gawd, ain't that the truth!

Something along the lines of "small warehouse" would be more like it, huh?

turbobenz- I bet you could bet that 240 for even less, it's been listed on and off since summer and he's lowered the price each time. Looks like a decent one, very similar to my wifes car.

Johnhef · #15 10-16-2008, 11:37 PM

oh for god sakes... nice car but the "///AMG package" ?? lmao BBS wheels and whose side skirts are those? rear spoiler at least looks right.

the deals are out there. remember I got my 300TD and my 500SEC for $500 each...and the SEC came with real AMG parts
