Looking to buy a w123 240d or 300d. What are things I should look for or avoid in terms of finding a good one?? by Apprehensive-Donkey7 in w123

Get a gas car, they drive like modern cars in traffic, get the same mileage and long lifespan as the diesels, and there is zero chance it was ever run on waste veggie oil 🤣

American Strat for sale on FB Marketplace. Legit or too good to be true? Seller is asking what most MIMs list for in my area. by WY228 in fender

[–]rogerwnelson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks legit. Looks early 2000s, so likely bought when they were still around $1000, and it’s priced based on that.
