'91 300TE, $6500. NPOCP? Ride height needs to come up at least an inch, but with 127k miles and a recently refurb'd A/C system, it doesn't seem an egregious price to me.

Steep, but not crushingly so.

Looks pretty nice for sure. Totally needs to come up an inch and lose those rims if I was going to drive it in the land of potholes. Price is pretty stiff. I had a 91 4matic TE with working ac and 200K I bought for $500! (brown interior too, was a great car, tripled my money on it in 6 months)

I don't mind the ride height, but I'd take off the 10mm wheel spacers he mentions in the post to make it a little less hellaflush.

Jesus Christ, I need to stop looking at this shit. I already have one Teutonic wagon I don't need, I probably don't need a second.

Tow hitch? What have they been doing with this car? And too many mods. CP.

I like it a lot. Like Steve in Manhattan pointed out, I wish they never even mentioned the tow hitch though. I'm still a fan nonetheless.

I paid less for the Magnum, but this is a Benz, and hell, I need all the comfort I can get today. Im roughed up bad still.
I think it was the echo more than anything else that clarified the shituation for me.

well, they are comfortable, and the price isnt bad. If I was paying that cake I wouldn't get a color that at least half w124 wagons came in. And it would be bone stock

so buy one for 1500. There is a white E320 in CT with blue leather for that. 200K miles but they last the long haul. plus it is a 24V. I bet 130K in one with rims like that is more like 200 in one that was cared for and not flogged. Imagine what that suspension feels like after running those big rims

I'm okay, just taking my time with everything today. I feel like I'm operating in slow motion, but I'm doing alright.
I feel like I'll be coughing up dust, but no harm done. It'll be a few days before I'm back to normal, but I'm back at work, what's slowing me down the most is having like 3ish hours of sleep.

good god man, glad you walked from that. I was wondering what you meant by banged up. Yeah there are a bunch of 1500 ones around. I wouldnt even shy away from this one with the recent work done to it http://newjersey.craigslist.org/cto/4778156331…

Did these TE wagons ever have a manual option?
I'm not about to let a goddamn pickup truck knock me around, that's for sure.

this is why I am going to be bringing one over from Europe this coming year. Cloth seats, manual tranny, manual heat controls, and manual windows. That is the way to have one IMHO, and I will still be into it for less than $6500
