You gotta lead up to it. Send a couple emails being super interested and ask for a couple extra pics. Pain in the rear end poo poo but not too far. When they finally start to get pissed, ask them if they'll have change, because you only have a $5 bill.

One moment left.

On the flip side of the $1 shenanigans, this might be something I'd pay $1,000 OBO for if I had an entire spare garage and 3 square miles of 18/16ga sheet steel laying around:

Thanks!

Asking $1000 or best offer. Need to sell quick, so make a reasonable offer.

Updated listing and decided to include the hard top and added more pictures.
No title. It's an early model with a serial number instead of a vin. Shouldn't be too hard to get a title if you need it.
Haven't tried starting it. The engine does move freely and it rolls easily too. All of the drivetrain is still in the truck.

Its not correct as those don't have 6 digit odometers, I'd bet on 160K or 260K at the most. Also I can't wrap my head around the combination voltage/tachometer, is there a button or switch to toggle between them or what??? :confused: Also bonus on the 5 speed, I haven't seen a stick one in years.

I e-mailed the guy, he just uploaded some incorrect pictures. He sent me the right ones. But he also said that that's the interior of his '1995 E36 M3 luxury package' when it's pretty clearly an E46 from the pictures. :wtf:

To be fair, it's the cheapest W211 I've seen. I'm looking to buy a cheap W210 at some point though, 'cause they're way cheaper due to the rust on every single one of them.

Done your research? There is definitely an AMG tax in regards to maintenance. Especially brakes.

Kittens are the easiest to rehome but it does take some effort because there is a massive surplus. What you are not going to get, is someone to actually pay or trade something of value for them. Especially if the adopter also has to pay for getting them spayed and vaccinated. Anyone with $100 is already going to a shelter, and that money is just paying for the spay/neuter and vaccines anyway.

That's really only if you get some of the crazy ceramic brake packages that are a $10k option anyways

On that car, it's just regular ol' steel rotors. $75 for the 330mm rears, $140 for the 360mm fronts, .brake pads are $30. Airmatic struts are $750 a piece reman, shocks are $100 a piece. On the newer ones, the only fronts availalable are OEM, and they're $750.

I think he was talking about this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensotronic_Brake_Control

So if you don't have the dealer service tool, it could do fun things like cut a finger off while you're working on the brakes. Just disconnecting the battery doesn't help, as the SBC pump itself has it's own power supply. Later models are unaffected however, 2008 up I think.

That's just a mercedes repair cost thing, not AMG tax, and not maintinence.

Does that affect the older W210s though? I thought those had relatively simpler electricals. I haven't come across that in my research.

Not the W210s apparently just that first batch of the W211 - 2003 - 2006 or 07.

We got a kitten from a shelter, he was $40 chipped and neutered. Apparently there was a huge surplus of kittens in this area.

Did you get him in early summer like late May early June by chance? From what I remember, that's kitten season so there's always a surplus of kittens around that time.

There's a salvage titled MS6 on CL in town, same paint as mine but with no damage to the areas mine has. He's asking $5500 but it's been for sale for like 2 years now so I lowballed the gently caress out of him at $2K. I figure I could swap my bad panels, pull some parts and sell the rest and maybe break even in the end. Maybe he's desperate?
