This next car comes as a tip from Johnny Bouncewell who writes; This Merc is so classy it parks on an oriental rug…or wait, if I read between the lines on this ad, it really sounds like 2 dudes had to bail on this project. Also, why does this thing have a mattress toupée? Find […]
This next car comes as a tip from Cory who writes: This is the modern equivalent of the W123 and these W202 cars are all over Europe still to this day. Yup, the basic package of the W202 was rugged and durable, particularly when compared to the overly electronicated throw-away Daimler-Chrysler era cars. When the W202 becomes old enough to be collectable, expect oddball Euro imports like this one to demand a premium. Find this 1995 Mercedes-Benz 250C Diesel offered for $6999 buy-it-now in Columbus, OH via eBay.
The Mercedes-Benz W114 was yet another gorgeous 3-box styling design from famed designed Paul Bracq. Most of the W114s you find around are the basic 4-door sedan version, but a few are the sporty coupe. Can a car that hits 60mph in 15 seconds actually be sporty…sure…it is just a matter a opinion, I guess. Happy Bracq Friday! Find this 1972 Mercedes-Benz 250C offered for $9000 in Somersworth, NH. Tip from Carter.
The Mercedes-Benz W114/115 chassis is the often overlooked E-class predecessor chassis that is overshadowed by the prettier W108/109 chassis. The big S-Class ancestor W108 with its fancier front end and stacked headlamps is a bargain classic, so the downmarket W114 is forced into an even more compromised market situation…bad news for “collectors” but great news […]
Another day, another clean and nice car donated to a charity and sold via eBay…seriously, who looks at a car this nice and says “it is worth nothing to me other than a tax write-off.” The write-offs aren’t even that good anymore, since they closed the loop hole where you could declare anything you’d like […]
It is always interesting when car buyers/sellers get heaping piles of advice from internet back seat drivers and pundits. The advice is always well meaning and usually centers around adding value to the car, such as putting appropriate wheels on it, or suggesting an easy engine upgrade. In the case of a certain V8 swapped […]
We just couldn’t resist posting another vintage Mercedes and this time we are going to push the higher end of our budget with a 2-door. We like 4 door cars because they are always cheaper when fully depreciated and they almost never become “Barrett-Jackson” inflated to ‘rich dudes only club’ levels…but the 2 doors are […]
