ahh, so things really AREN"T that different across the pond... 

depends if youre talking methods then yep, but economics and quality? Things over here are pretty bad in those last two departments. It's not a line of entertainment I personaly find very appealing even for free and good quality so as ya can imagine I just leave the euro-trash versions well alone and would never spend a penny on at this point in my life.

If you guys remember the thread about my friend with the tail dragger aircraft that he wrecked in the field?

He traded the plane for this Benz, he was in a tight spot and needed the cash.

As far as I can tell it needs a lot of TLC, the heat works and it runs like a top. Body work is in the future.

I did a NADA search on it, being that it's a European model(everything is in German) and only has 107,497 miles makes it worth $15,000 as it sits. With the body work completed and a new paint job it goes up to $26,000.

I have had five offers in less than 24 hours of owning it. I found some bad arse 5 spoke AMG rims for it for around $1,000.


LOL Vonmessa, I could have guessed you would reply that way. I may sell this to get me another Jeep.

your right, chicks like rollin with the top off.

I talked with a 40+ year experience Mercedes Benz mechanic and he tells me the 280 he had went with over 1.1 million miles before he had to do anything serious to it. Apparently this is not unheard of from other Benz owners, so I don't know what the heck Masherbrum is talkin about.

The one thing the mechanic did say is that the ignitions wear out from starting a Benz before the car wears out..... :ahand :D

Just dropped the oil, added some fresh Mobil One and Bosch filter, lubed the chassis, Armor-alled the leather and topped everything off. Got just about 225 miles on first full tank of gas, or three trips to work and back home. Adding some fuel injector cleaner this tank and some super-unleaded. I was able to translate the german on the control arm and know how the cruise works now, so hopefully my fuel mileage increases. The local dealer of Jeeps said he would give me 8-K as trade in value. I just wanted to see what I could turn $1500.00 into these days........... :bolt:

Why did he sell it to you for only $1500, was it just because your a friend or something?

By and large MB's transmissions are not reliable.
