well guys. this helps in my decision.
I'm looking for a 97+ S320 or 420 decent shape... mint not nessicary. dark colors
or a 07+ E320 (not fond of ) or 420
xenon headlight/washer pkg is a MUST

if anybody stumbles on one or two... or has one. I'm interested. hard core.
my 240 has gone under the knife for rust removal. then its going on the market.
i'm having floor pans exaust and suspension taken care of in the next 2 weeks.
then body work finished by like feb. and then paint. im leaving the mbtext as is. but replacing all carpets and heavy cleaning of origional 240D floor mats...

should i leave the side trim pieces off and fill/shave holes... or keep it stock?

What do you mean it's going on the market? Your selling it? If so why would you go to all this trouble and then deface it by screwing up the side trim?

If your selling it why bother putting all that money into it? Your not going to get it back.

how much do better than daily driver 240's go for? because so far... i have... meh... $1300 into it... thats including the car itself... new floors, exaust, rear brakes, and 2 oil changes... so i throw another thousand in body work & paint 2300... sell it for 3500?!?

oh. and when the car was repainted they painted over the side trim holes... so they screwed most of the trim pieces back on... mmmhmm. so im wondering if it would just be easier to keep filling the rest of them, rather than putting it back...
