Let the bidding begin

This is the car I've wanted since I first saw one while in high school. Wonder if I could convince my wife that buying 3 mercedes in one year is a good idea.

The price is too high. The back seat looks like a dog lived there, and if you notice the quarter windows don't go all the way down on either side. The door panels looked like crap, too. Mine is in better shape than that (nearly perfect), everything works as it should, it had 65,000 fewer miles, and it was less $. Maybe mine is appreciating! IMHO, too much money to buy sight unseen.

Talking So Confused!!!!!!!!

I recently bought my third Mercedes in three years. The latest is a 1980 SD that polished out very nicely for the age of 23 years. Wife has another 20 years on the SD ( she's 40ish) and I tell her all the time she also polishes up nicely however, she's still PISSED AT THREE MERCEDES. She says one has to go!

I wonder how much I can get for a 40ish Redhead on Ebay

Decent looking CD but price seems pretty high.The car looks to have been detailed so the dogs in the back seat theory is probably right,don't as me how I know..............

*lmao*

Fortunately for me, my girlfriend likes my car as much as I do (part of me is convinced that she's only going to stay with me long enough to steal my car and my kittens and move back to Bakersfield )...she wants a 300D turbo for herself, although I'm starting to try to talk her into a 115 240D

Nice CD

Scottsdale is like the Beverly Hills of Phoenix. That car has either been repainted recently or it's been garaged and pampered it's entire life. No metallic paint lasts like that in Phoenix otherwise.

If it's one owner history is true I'd guess it's somehting like a retired rich couples baby which has been 'babied' all it's life and would be well worth looking into.

And Phoenix is a high price market. The rest of the country might dissagree but that car will likely go for that price locally soon. Hell. Assuming I had the money and it's history checked out it' would already be mine.

Let me know if you have any luck. I'm limited to only one every decade. Good thing they last so well!
