$1500-$2000 if the leak is not severe and it runs well. Where does it leak from exactly? If you do a really good cleaning and detail it will help.

Actually, I was looking at the pics on your website...did you seriously paint the console red and black? It's hard to tell through all the debris, but the interior looks kind of rough and the dash is very cracked. You're right- the paint is shot, too. I'd say about a grand would be a good bottom line.

Yeah I remember a year ago a guy was selling a 91 300E down the street from me for $500 because it couldn't pass emissions....it was in pretty good shape too.

I would have bought that in a heartbeat! No one cares about emissions here. There's not even a shop where you can have it tested.

Question

well i will give it one last try

i cant get much if i sell my car i got no cash for my car when i tryed to junk it with the government (a$$ holes) i do not qualify for the free 500 bucks to fix my car becuz i dont have 40 unwashed kids hanging off me and in the fact that i dont have any one depending on my paychecks (a$$ holes again)
hell why not spend the cash to see what the problem is it could just be a cheap part or fix on the car you never know with this car

yes i have a love hate relashionship with my car. i have spent 3 days thinking and if i have some one who knows this car better then me look at it there is less of a chance of me messing things up more right. i know of a place that only works with old mb's and bmw's a few new ones but not alot they have been around for 45 years i will go there tomarow and see what cash deal i can set up for a looky loo on why i might not pass smog i hope i get good news but bad news can be helpfull to some times at lest if it is bad i could see how much they give me for the car as a parts car right!!!!!
