new to this part of the bored i am on the W124 bored i have found a 1973 Mercedes-Benz 280SE - $1750 i think this is a good deal i have driven the car to runs well but blows some smoke from time to time. hers a link to it down at the bottom i figure it is worth way more then what the guy is asking for it what im wondering is if i were to buy it how much do you think i could sell it for i have a feeling of why more then the guy is asking for it any in put is welcome the main reason i would like to buy this one is becuz i know it is worth more than asking price. i figure i could sell it and fix up my 260E i know the 260E is a rare model and i would love to restore it after all it has done for my family. sorry for spelling stuff got work in 20 min http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/car/719535090.html

You think your car has problems? This thing is 35 years old. It's done, unless you want to rebuild it from the ground up. I'd give $800 for it, maybe. Even so, you're just going to end up in the same boat you're in now. If I were you, I'd get something that will get you to work and back for a couple of years, and then buy another W124. It's the best. Remember?
