I put an insanely low reserve just want it to goto a good home and get it out of here before the snow starts falling.

Yes. And just how insanely low IS that reserve price?

Ken300D

$1000

You're not insane. You're merely foolish.

turbodiesel:

I think I predicted a while ago that you would be selling the diesel once you get the CV.

Well you are half right. I am selling the CV as well and only keeping the 300SDL.

Hey Turbo:

I'll be in the vicinity Saturday night. As I read your description the bid is set to expire sometime Sunday night I think.
Can you email me the following answers. Remember that I probably know what I'm getting into as I have two already.
1. How much oil does she use in 3k miles?
2. Have you check the timing chain for stretch?

thanks

Hey diesel lovers,

I am pleased that a car with 471K still has value that can be expressed with money. I am afraid that my benz 84 300d 250K which I just put another $1300 into is not worth that much to the general population. Now all said and done, I am a diesel weirdo and am glad to see that there are other reasonable people like myself in this world who love diesel cars. This topic is interesting to me in that I wonder how much cars like this are worth in the open market and pleased to see that I may also get another 220K out of my benz.

Best of luck,

bob

PS Just a thought, Why not just give it to a young person in your family who needs a car. That is what I usually do with my dinosaurs. Sure being a good guy does not pay but what the hay.

Your car is just a baby at 250K.. it still worth a good deal of money, not until you get over 300K does the price seem to go down, IMO.

If I had a friend or family member that needed a car, I would give it to them, but I do not know of anyone, and I could use the cash right now.

Well, you had a successful auction. Congratulations and I hope it closes OK.

I have printed out a picture of your '87 300SDL and taped it to the floor in the back of the garage. Then I drew a pentagram around it and put a candle at each of the points. When I'm having troubles working on the other cars, I go back there, light the candles, sit on the floor and chant:

Turbodiesel - sell the 300SDL.
Turbodiesel - sell the 300SDL.
Turbodiesel - sell the 300SDL.

So far its not working but these things take time.........

Ken300D:

Just be patient. It is coming, as I predicted a while ago.

What the heck do you want me to sell my 300SDL for?? So YOU can buy it??

Yes, the 85 300D is gone.. it is now a Manhattan car, and the current owner knows absolutely nothing about diesels.. I think the car will be lucky to see 480K

TD

I'll tell yeah that is one fine SDL!!! Who wouldn't want it?

I love it and all I have seen is the one photo above my head here!!


later,
