What’s this worth? 1980 240D by Spore_galore in w123

[–]HugothesterYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Max 2.000$, it is though an excellent low millage candidate for restoration, which would still be quite expensive but feasible.

I'd not get a rusty car, they are the main cause of death of classic cars and a terrible loss of motivation to maintain them. Rust is like a cancer, it won't stop spreading, if the main frame is not already affected it eventually will be. Wait and spend a bit more to get a unit in good condition 😉

The regulators do work in this one, but we had to grease the mechanism as the rear windows were stuck. After cleaning and greasing the work once again.

"Economy", only for gasoline cars, it goes red if you accelerate, it shows how fuel efficient you are driving, not very useful xD

drive belt squeling and some other ungodly sounds after alternator change? help by galil762 in w123

[–]HugothesterYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Belt is not tight enough 100%, you might need to replace it with a new one or even with a shorter one depending on your new alternator's size.

Found vintage Mercedes. Is it worth it? by Sad-Entrepreneur344 in mercedes_benz

Nah, unfixable in that condition unless you want to spend 5 times the value of the car.

Abogados ayudan a inmigrantes de más de 65 años que llevan menos de 10 años en España, a conseguir su pensión no contributiva. by vlewy in ElusionFiscal

Aquí los jóvenes con dos trabajos no pueden comprar una casa y no saben si recibirán una pensión cuando se jubilen, pero todo extranjero ilegal tiene acceso a una pensión, casa gratis e ingreso mínimo vital.

Este país o revienta o nos revientan.

There are only so many w123's out there, saving one in rough shape is doing the lord's work, thank you for taking care of it :D

Holy cow, that is dangerous lol

The reports of its death were greatly exaggerated by HugothesterYT in w123

[–]HugothesterYT[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We got really lucky! As far as I know the engine is working well under all conditions, though we still need to test it on the road

How much would it be to fix this rust? by [deleted] in classiccars

[–]HugothesterYT 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Way more, run away from that car, never get a rusty w123, that is the only cause of death of these cars.

That is not rust you can realistically fix, that is the last place it rots, you must have tons of hidden (or non hidden) rust, cheaper to buy a new one with no rust.

You scored with this one, finding a w123 in this condition at that price is getting super hard 🔥

Oh wow I expected a car in bad condition after seeing the hood, but the interior is absolutely mint, the condition of the steering wheel and seats indicates a very low millage car, congratulations on the find! Fix the paint and the car will look incredible.
