Now the guy is asking $5k. It's cool because it has the period aftermarket add ons but I can't see $5k in it.
Mercedes 190E
2016 Audi A7 3.0T S Line, 2021 Subaru WRX
Not worth 5K, his cheapo paint job (hidden by low res pics) and a few other bits don't add up to that. Also looks a lot more like Tex than leather, to me.
I'd rather spend twice as much and get a nice 2.3-16, if I really wanted a W201.
Ideally an early 90s or last year production W201 would be ideal....for $1000.... in perfect condition :P
Edit: I never heard of ACT wheels but looks like they did a lot of BBS type rims in the 80s.
2016 Audi A7 3.0T S Line, 2021 Subaru WRX
Final year 190E 2.6 Sportline would be the best of those, and they exist with a 5-speed too.
If you can find one. I bet less than 1% of W201's came equipped with a manual.
Here's a nice E320 convertible from that era but I think the seller is a bit out to lunch on the price unless he finds a hard core MB collector to buy it.
W124 for sale
2016 Audi A7 3.0T S Line, 2021 Subaru WRX
The cabrio looks nice, but yeah, needs a good 30% off at least. Miles aren't spectacularly low, pretty car though.

How one can live with a 240D in the harsh environment of New York, let alone for 37 years, is beyond my wildest dreams. But I must give the owner props for keeping this car on the road for so long. I honestly don't see or hear of one-owner '70s diesel Mercedes all the time. I wonder what that car would be like to drive on the Interstates.
Well, if you had a jet assist to get it up to speed on the onramp, I believe that it could then hold freeway speed on flat ground. Any uphill stretches would, of course, change that quickly. Without assist, you would have to pray that circumstances allowed you to enter the freeway at 25 mph or so, since that is about as much velocity as it could attain on the onramp. Then you could just remain in the right lane for 5 miles or so until it got up to speed. That is, of course, assuming that a trucker didn't run you over trying to maintain velocity.
2009 BMW 335i, 2003 Corvette cnv. (RIP 2001 Jaguar XK8 cnv and 1985 MB 380SE [the best of the lot])

Like was said, it could make it to freeway speeds on flat ground, eventually, but look out for hills, and hope the people behind you on on-ramps are patient. At least it isn't an automatic.
And speaking of MB, this is um...special
It is an oddball for sure, but not pretty. And I don't get the point of the leather shifter boot around the auto tranny shifter trim.
The wheels dopn't look period either.
Ugh, $21k a bit steep for yet another of Sbarro's weird creations.
2016 Audi A7 3.0T S Line, 2021 Subaru WRX
I'd rather have a widebody AMG SEC or maybe a Koenig Special etc.

I am sure you have seen this site, it's fun to read through...I like these sometimes tacky 80s customs.

I've seen a few period AMG W126 cars locally, but almost no other period tuners.
2016 Audi A7 3.0T S Line, 2021 Subaru WRX
It was running at the local car auction and most likely will run again next week.
What are your thoughts on maintenance of the S4 with such high kms? I looked at it in person and it looks like something with 1/3 of the mileage, it's almost mint.
The only issue is that coolant was low (the reservoir was below the min line) so I figure it has a coolant leak either from the reservoir or worse, maybe cracked block :confuse: but no white smoke was coming out and car started and ran fine with no issues, no overheatng. And it needs an emission test to be insurable.
Is it worth the risk or can this become a money pit. Like I said the car is in absolutely mint condition for the mileage inside and out and I'm guessing that for $5k it could be a good toy. Thoughts?
2016 Audi A7 3.0T S Line, 2021 Subaru WRX
I suppose if you planned on keeping it for no more than a year, and drive no more than 5,000 miles you could take a chance. Assuming no major failures, could you then sell it for close to what you would pay for it?
There's no question that a S4 could be a lot of fun, but I'd stay away from one with 300,000 kms.
I thought I was living on the edge spending $2,700 on a 12 YO stick shift Integra with 166K on it.
2020 Acura RDX tech SH-AWD, 2023 Maverick hybrid Lariat luxury package.
This one just looks immaculate and perhaps I just need a few people to talk me out of it.
2016 Audi A7 3.0T S Line, 2021 Subaru WRX
What can go wrong? :sick:
What do you mean "become?"
If it weren't a money pit already, do you think it'd be no-saling at the auction?
If you want a break-your-heart toy, go for it, but not for $5k.
At least no of my money.
It's a mistake to think that all cars should run all the time.
This car will not.
But it'll be great when it does.
Can you deal with that concept? Do you want to?
Have fun,
-Mathias
However, if it is just a toy you are after, I think you'd be much better served buying a similar "vintage" WRX. A clean one with under 140k went for $7k. So I'd think a clean one with 200k has to be darn close to the money you are talking about for the audi. And I'd be willing to be that, on the private side, a 200k Subaru is going to be a FAR easier and quicker sale than that audi.

Nice wheels and wheelarch trim - ex Arabian Peninsula car?
This would have been a nice HS grad gift Still would make a nice gift too.
I ma selling a 1975 Lincoln-Mercury Comet for too much $$$
Seems like a lot of these 70s battleships survived.
If it's not a rust bucket then I'd like to have it.
Seller doesn't know much about it except that it's worth every penny
Compared to what?
Ooh, a "Lincoln-Mercury" Comet, sounds fancy.
That white on white car is the pick of the lot.
And yeah, I agree, that white on white '74 LTD is a pretty nice car. Definitely the pick of the bunch. I don't think too many of those survived. Seems like they rusted worse than their GM equivalents. Or even their unitized Mopar competition.
That Comet actually gives me a slight headache looking at it. Shows just what a torture chamber some compacts could be back in those days.
Someone driving the Pullman around all by himself looks ridiculous.
The dashboard of that Comet is pretty unpleasant, I never liked the rear end of those either.
Yep, even in '76 you could get a 460 as an option on the Elite. The 351 was actually the standard engine! And the 400 was a mid-range option.
At some point, I think even in the lesser Torino models, a 351 was made standard, because the 6-cyl and even the 302 engines just weren't up to the task. That must have made them a hard sell to fuel conscious buyers.
I think GM and Chrysler started phasing the bigger engines out of their cars after 1975. For instance, in the 1976 Chevelle/Malibu and Monte Carlo brochures, they list a 175 hp 400 V-8 as the top engine. By that time, I guess the 454 was reserved for Impala/Caprice duty?
I know you could still get a 455 in a LeMans or Grand Prix in '76, and they actually seem somewhat common in the Grand Prix.
For '77, the biggest engine you could get in a Malibu/Monte was a 350, ditto the Century/Regal. The Cutlass could be had with a 403, and the LeMans/Grand Prix could be ordered with a Pontiac 400 (Olds 403 in CA). That same year, Ford quit offering the 460 in midsized cars, but still offered the 400 in the LTD-II/Cougar/T-bird.
I've heard that Chrysler still offered the 440 in midsized cars right up through 1978, but I think in those last couple years, it might have been a copcar-only engine.
According to the ad, those folks would get the 429, right?
Of course, I have my own van that I need to put right before I'd seriously consider anything else, but it's still fun to look.
I don't remember Ford offering the 429 in passenger cars after 1974.
Of course, the whole van cracks them up initially, so perhaps they're already in a jovial mood when they get to looking at that detail.
Ha, I peaked at the ad and though it was $5k as well until you mentioned it. Funny with the line about no low ballers too.
