My uncle is a used car dealer. He himself drives an E300 Turbodiesel. He had a brown 240D with lots of rust, but only 150K in the lot, had records, and wanted 500 bucks. Sold it before I even became interested in the cars. The question is, he says that he gets many of these cars at auctions where dealers wholesale cars out. He says they are quite cheap, and can get one with 150-180K for about 1500-2000 dollars. You guys have any experience with these auctions? Are they a good place to get Mercedes diesels? All the classifieds in my area seem too expensive (maybe I am just too cheap)
