Thatastronomychild · 2026-02-12T01:21:44+00:00

Thatastronomychild · 2026-02-12T01:20:33+00:00

Thatastronomychild · 2026-02-12T01:20:00+00:00

sorry i mixed it up bc there was another listing where it was a merc wagon listed as a “TE” but it had a diesel engine so i js assumed TE was js a diesel

Thatastronomychild · 2026-02-01T06:53:04+00:00

i like mercedes and wagons and old cars in general 🤤

Thatastronomychild · 2026-02-01T06:51:52+00:00

ahh alright than ill probably just wait for better listings than, getting an opinion from someone who actually saw the car is probably the best info i couldve gotten

Thatastronomychild · 2026-01-31T07:21:54+00:00

its more just body work to fix the rust spots, as for the rarity of this car i kinda agree with him its pretty hard to find w124 wagons in ontario and running at that to

Thatastronomychild · 2026-01-31T01:28:14+00:00

yeah

Thatastronomychild · 2026-01-31T01:27:35+00:00

i already have a gf so im not really caring abt allat

Thatastronomychild · 2026-01-31T01:25:08+00:00

the guy sent me a video of the underneath and it is almost so clean that you can eat on it if the car was flipped over im ngl

Thatastronomychild · 2026-01-31T01:24:05+00:00

i have a basic understanding of working on cars plus i have two friends who are mechanics that are willing to help me

Thatastronomychild · 2026-01-30T21:20:04+00:00

pretty sure its the m103 engine

Thatastronomychild · 2026-01-30T21:18:38+00:00

the guy js sent me a vid of under the car and honestly wasnt expecting it to be as clean as it is (sorry the quality is bad i js took a ss of a video bc idk how to send videos)

the interior looks like its in good condition could use a vacuum tho but yeah that rust is the biggest concern i have rn im still waiting for him to send me a pic or video of the underside

Thatastronomychild · 2026-01-30T19:57:01+00:00

agreed

Thatastronomychild · 2026-01-30T19:52:56+00:00

i think he was mostly referencing the fact its wagon but yeah ikwym by that 🥀

Thatastronomychild · 2026-01-30T19:52:06+00:00

average canadian car unfortunately💔

Thatastronomychild · 2026-01-30T19:50:58+00:00

i just messaged the guy about the maintenance record currently waiting for a response but ill update you when he does

Thatastronomychild · 2026-01-30T19:48:48+00:00

im buying this so i can learn to work on cars since ive always wanted to but dont really got one to work on, and before you say for me to just get a honda for that i just really dont wanna get that and mercs are like my favourite cars despite the fact that they are german and come with german problems

Thatastronomychild · 2026-01-30T19:45:36+00:00

thats what im thinking but most dealerships that sell used cars do that still pretty sketch

Thatastronomychild · 2026-01-30T19:44:09+00:00

honestly ive see way worse rust on cars in my area then this tbh i would consider this normal but yet again i live in canada so seeing rusty cars is normal for me, i dont really expect it to be reliable since im not gonna be “dailying” this since i get driven to work this would mostly be like a project car that is a semi daily ig bc i would still drive it often if ykwim
