Found another e300 for $500 in glen Burnie. It's missing an intake. I can get it towed home cheaply for $50. So essentially it's a $550 car.

It was sitting, spongy brakes perfect interior, ok body but missing intake.

I'm not gonna fix it if it doesn't need more than $200 worth of work. What's the part market for these cars? Is it worth it? I'm hoping the market is better than the w124s or I could at least resell it for $500

Is this a W211? Or a W210?

If it's part of the W210 fleet, then I (personally) would gut it for parts and ride the "free maintenance" train.
Maybe even sell the interior if it's flawless or try an interior swap if it's possible. Leathers in the cabin probably costs more than the value of the car itself if the condition is really good.

Don't forget to grease the screw and threads on the spring compressor.

W124?

Still contemplating the decision. Feel it will be hard to make the money back.

I buy them and barely sell them lol. Plus I haven't paid over a grand for a w210 except for one of my 99s. I get too attached when I start working on it and can't part with it.

Here's what I determine between last night and today. Car sat at MB of Silver Springs Maryland and was a tech's car. He got it cheap and drove it and got bored of it and wanted something fast. Parked it at the dealer and eventually the guys started taking parts off it like an intake manifold, fan clutch and fan and all 4 calipers.

That's what I'll be looking for in the junkyards or someone who is willing to let them go reasonably cheap. It does crank over. Rust isn't too bad typical 210 rust on the quarters. Think the odometer said 150k. Cranks over too so it should start when I have a better battery.
