Apparently they're worth what the dealership charges to fix it over the previous 9 year period.

Imagine what I could get for my 123 with 26 years of receipts. I've never added them up (could cause depression) but it might exceed the 30+k I paid for the car new. Wait, could I also add the original purchase price to get a final selling price? Probably would exceed 50k! Anyone interested in an 83 300D, one owner, with complete service records?? Or an even trade for a new Bluetech?

I thought this was going to be one of those crazy descriptions we laugh about all the time... but this was really a good description and funny questions to boot...

If it does not go tonight maybe you could haul it to the Get together at Center... on the 27th of June and someone else drag it home from there ?

I am glad they picked a nice cool time of the year in East Texas for the get together since my AC does not work... LOL

Good stuff!

An honest description like that with humor is not at all off putting. If I needed sucha car I would not be dissuaded!

I have someone coming this week to look at it
if it does not sell tonite. I would really love to be
able to keep it, it just need everything that is common
on these cars and a couple of doors. I just don't have the
time/space/cash for it, nor the desire at this point.
I really want a D or SD. but this needs to go first.

In an effort to CONFLICT Jack's emotions...
I have offered him the passenger side doors from my 79 parts wagon...
free...
LOLOL
and he lives close enough to come get them...
So now he does not know whether to hope for a good bid tonight or start looking on Mapquest for the best route...
