$45K for a W116?

Mercedes-Benz : 200-Series Mercedes-Benz : 200-Series | eBay

"ONLY A COLLECTOR CAN UNDESTAND ITS VALUE."

Confirmed - I'm not a collector. What would it be worth with a proper 280SE badge and no mold on the backside of the driver seat? Even the W111 coupe in one of the pictures isn't worth $45K.

well, another of these ads where the guy either is an idiot, or has forgotten the value of proof reading.

"very rear find" my favorite part

The guy can't spell "automobile", "car", "collectors" or "saddle" (unless seddle is a mb color word?)

Outrageous price, idiot seller, match made in heaven.

the invisible hand of economics will take care of that.

it is irrelevant what he is asking for. nobody will pay that price. nobody well informed that is. if the person is uninformed and buys the car anyway, that's a different story.

Only a "collector" would be able to understand why he spells that way.

Yikes! I was thinking more along the lines of $14,000 at most. I think the seller is in for a very big shock.

Speaking of match,

Saw a woman's ad today on match.com that stated she is " inteligent " <----- (sic).

.... Probably lied about her age too. (click)

Lookie here !!!

these were a pair!! -- a brand new 6.9 and a brand new 300SD
at the Mercedes Benz Classic Center.

They were there over a year.

I took these pictures of them the first time I saw them together, in about 2008 at a visit ( I travel there a LOT)!
---on the showroom floor of the Mercedes Benz Classic Center USA at 7 Whatney in Irvine California in Orange County.


And they were both brand new, mint, practically zero miles, and could be said to be in museum condition.

I think the problem would be that each mile driven could diminish their value.

And they both are gone now but I don't know what happened to them, who bought them or what their final actual selling price was.

*$45K for a W116?*

Oh yeah. A LOT more.




The 6.9 was a '78.

\



or get the poster at least!!!



the diesel 300SD turbo weas a '80.











You should visit the Mercedes Benz Classic Center USA in Irvine!!!!!!



'57 300SL in Straberry, '35 290a cabrio, and boutique in the other side of the showroom that day.
