That's crazy! That would go for over 3k here easy. Those are nice cars. A real Mercedes-Benz.

Of course! It's an old M-B diesel. If the battery has juice, there's no air in the system, and no kelp in the fuel tank it'll run. When we're extinct, the evolved apes of the future will be driving these.
Then again, maybe it doesn't, it's not my car.

You could flip that to someone wanting a biodiesel and make a little money.

It has a pretty beat up rear driver's quarter...but it's purely cosmetic.
I have been driving it for 2 months...and put 1500 miles on it...it runs awesome!!!
Just clicked over 300,000 a few weeks ago
And I am running 20% biodiesel in it...smells like bbq

If I have to smuggle a diesel from Europe via Canada for my project car I will (just kidding US Customs - I would never do such a thing in real life). I will laugh at Prius junk while getting 50% better mileage at 20 mph+ their speed. That is if I can strengthen the Goldwing drive to handle the 250+ lbs. ft the BMW 2.0 puts out.
