helloppo,

This is a great find for a daily driver or weekend car for any of you in the NY/NJ metropolitan region. A Mercedes 240D with a Manual transmission:

It may have other issues but I am selling as is

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

The rust and patina add such character to this car. It deserves a jalop home, who will buy it? Let us know!

10/10 would buy if I had space to put it somewhere.

The interior alone has to be worth more than $500, I would think.

scrap value is more.

Spoiler alert: no one here will actually buy it.

There is always space! Get rid of the porsche ;)

sounds like an easy flip

not really, because most of those MB-Tex interiors are still in good shape or can be had from a rustbusket for almost nothing. $100 interior if you pull is around market value for it. If the dash wasnt cracked or wrinkled (this one is at least wrinkled) that would be something at least. The tranny is worth some cake. Last 4sp/swap gear I sold was $400

Actually, my family has 4 cars total. And I just moved back to college on Friday, so all I have is a parking spot on the street.

But it doesn't work

Definitely. Photos might be hiding something; but, for $250, some air, and a new battery, I have wallet pangs.

I'm sorry, this is Jalopnik, what do you mean?

Raphmoe > rhorizon 08/26/2014 at 10:47

buy it!

505Turbeaux > Kate's Dirty Sister 08/26/2014 at 10:47

meh scrap it is worth that. It will probably fire with a battery and a prime

SantaRita > Raphmoe 08/26/2014 at 10:48

you could almost call the yard to come and get it while you're in their driveway and make 50$ for coming over... but we all know that's the sad ending.

You take that back

I'm currently exchanging faxes with Wells Fargo, working on a 36 months loan, stay tuned.

but you have 2 flat tires, and who knows what else doesn't work

250$ plus towing fees > scrap value

do any jalops live in Brooklyn?

I contacted a friend in Bed-Stuy. If he has space to stash it for a week I will have him buy it for me

I have a friend in bed-stuy and 2 w123 alloys with good tires, and a battery. It is worth checking out

Would buy if I lived closer to NY

That's what I keep saying about GTVs....

but prices have doubled in the past year...

Same as everyone else, no space :(

Who cares? Scrap is worth more.

how desperate are you for 100$ ?

 > Kate's Dirty Sister 08/26/2014 at 11:05

Desperate enough to buy that Benz and pretend I am restoring scrapping it.

...said right as 505 is purportedly investigating...

I may have to get this just so I can do the 4 speed swap in mine, and the fan control knob. I need one of those.

Agrajag > Raphmoe 08/26/2014 at 11:17

Hmmmmm. I have a battery and two spare tires/wheels for one of these..... Plus mine would like a manual swap.

I feel like this CL ad was made by a pissed landlord not the owner.

I have a fan control knob if you need one once I finish drying crap out in the basement.

make it so number one!

Whoa. That's weird.

One like this? That would be great. I would compensate you with money or artwork if you like.

505Turbeaux > Agrajag 08/26/2014 at 11:36

shoot no not for a manual. I have the "knob" should have said button for an auto climate control.

Damn and blast. Thanks though.
