Am I being stupid here? I know that the 230e are bulletproof but am I going to have a fuck ton of problems being the driver that starts driving it at the 400,000km mark?
Political because German engineering.

Dude buying a car with 400,000 KM is like dating a single mother with 4 kids. WTF are you even thinking?
This
do what the first german reply says
Cunt the future repair prices alone will set you back more than $2,000, foreign import + 40 year old model.
This. You're buying a piece of trash, just like a single mother with 4 kids by 4 dads.
Sounds fishy, why is it in American dollars and not kangaroobux?
W124 forever.
get something with a 1.9tdi
or a 13b
Id offer 300
If electronics work, body is clean, AC is cold, interior is intact and exterior accents/ trim pieces are deteriorating id pick it up.
Be prepared, even of that Benz of that age have very high OEM part costs.
Good canidate for a motor swap
If it isn't a diesel, I'd stay away
Sadly nothing screams paki or sandnigger like an old Merc or BMW.
>2 owners
>full service history
>34 years with 12,000 km per year
It's not as bad as it looks.
if you actually intend on using it daily, expect it to sink a lot more into it due to maintenance alone, not to mention the towing fees
Fuck off faggot not your personal blog
what? the fuck?
take your meths
2000 will likely be the first in a series of payments you’ll be making
dont buy anything below year 2010
I bought a new motorbike today
Go to fucking /o/
You'll unironically die INSTANTLY.

dont do it
Dope I bought an electric bike a few days ago because I’m poor and it’s going to be my only method of transportation. It’s cheap and chinese but it look simple enough for me to fix is anything goes wrong and it will because it’s chinese.
We wuz lug jury cars n sheeit
Get a man’s car
If it was something like 200 bucks, then I would say, go for it. Mercs are fucking built to last, so the mileage isn't the issue, it's the combination of being old AF, having a super high mileage and being too fucking expensive. In Europe (not just the EU) this car is driven by gypsies and you can buy one for 250 EUR in non-EU countries. The price is a bit higher in the EU as it is an old-timer now.
Not a bad deal for $2000. Don't expect them to have been truthful that there's no problems with it though despite the history.
To be fair this is the w124, from what I have read these cars were so reliable they were used as taxis and ambulances. Apparently it's not uncommon for them to hit 1mil on the odometer.
With that being said am I being a retard in the buying this, should I look at a different Merc? Pic related is the interior
Had one of those about 15 years ago. They have gotten allot better since. If you have one with the motor build into the wheel hub you will be avoiding allot of useless pain.
Fuck no. Jesus Christ, you have the option of buying a diesel Hilux you fucking cunt, and you want to buy some Zimbabwe drug runner car?
Can you work on cars? Cool buy it. Try to squeeze him down to 17-1800 in person, have money in hand and a pen to sign the title.
Are you gonna pay the guy down the road to work on it? Skip it
a 34 year old motorcycle would actually be a reasonable purchase if you know how to use the internet and turn wrenches
i bought one of these a long time ago for around 200 bucks and rode it for probably 10 years. i didnt even have to do anything to it except change the battery, chain and tires. sold it for 900 when i was ready to upgrade
lol have fun when you need parts retard
an hero
Agreed. now your gonna make me shop in my area for a toyota pickup. as if i need another car.
honestly
do it
the car is pristine
they are traded as cult objects collectors and oldtimerfags hoard them for a reason
Ya fucken idiot
I think he meant real germans, not sacherboys
Nice, I'm about to reach 750k on mine.
I have a 250 diesel tough, manual transmission
This, scotty himself would spit on your shoes
>rode it for probably 10 years. i didnt even have to do anything to it except change the battery, chain and tires.
What about the oil and spark plugs?
I love the boxy shape of bmw’s from this era and that interior looks amazing but you’d better have some cash kept aside to maintain the thing
I have a 2017 c250 that I bought that thing brand new. I would highly recommend Mercs in every single way EXCEPT for one thing.
FUCK
RUN
FLAT
TYRES
THESE FUCKING THINGS ARE RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE AND THERES NO FUCKING ROOM FOR A SPARE SO YOU'RE FORCED TO USE THEM.
lol i worked in an auto garage at the time. oil and plugs i got for free but theyre not really that expensive. the oil filter for that thing was like $2
Scotty legit has a video where he praises this exact model Merc.
Exactly. Buy a Toyota instead if you're only spending 2k
Spare parts and specialist mechanics to work on it will blow mega cash man.
I had a 260E and I'll never buy another Euro car.
I love it when Zig Forums and /o/ come together
If only there was a board you could post this on. Something like an automobile board. We can only dream
noic
I'll be buying one of these soon. i fucking live for two stroke
