This time it’s a 1998 C43 with a broken transmission and peeling paint for $850. I ran across it while searching for a W140. I didn’t find any W140s, but this is interesting.
Any thoughts on whether or not fixing this thing is worth it?

I am of the opinion that the W202 is one of the better looking sedans MB has made, and certainly the best of the 90's.
That being said, this could still be a nightmare. The first AMGs are not nearly as bad, but the neglect likely associated with this car’s condition would probably make it a bad decision.

I like to be the contrarian... Yes. $850 is “what the hell” money, the transmission is a very stout unit that probably is salvageable, and at the very least it could be parted to recoup the cost. Or, it could be a really fun beater!

Ah man, I know a guy with a W140 S500L for sale! But it’s probably several thousand miles away and RHD.

I’d buy it if it weren’t 2500 miles away.
