First time posting pictures
Unfortunately, probably the last time as well since I'm planning on selling it as I fix the oil leak. I just snapped a couple pictures in a parking lot, nothing special. As much as I love this car, its drained my savings account and patience with its constant problems, I've only put 5K on its in a year because its constantly breaking.
The latest problem is a pretty major oil leak from the back of the engine, can't figure out where from so time to fork up more $$$ so I can get it back into great shape and sold.

How much do you guys think I can get for it?

hmm.....drained your account? Seems like the car should be in great condition after you fix the oil leak. The next owner will be happy to see the list of new stuff

Its a E320, I used have a 420 but sold that several years back, I just never changed my info.
The oil leak was just the last straw, if the oil leak was the only problem I had I would definitely keep it. I've owned it for one year and have had to change the transmission, neutral safety switch, ignition, ignition switch, blower motor regulator, combination relay... and I'm sure there are other things I have forgot. It seems that the owner before me really did not do any type of maintenance on it, and its all crashing down on me now. I would love to keep it but I just can't really afford to do any more work on it or have it sit for any longer.

Right now I'm planning to keep my W124 for my teenage son to drive locally and maybe gradually work through the repairs over a little more time. I was simply losing confidence in the car for my daily driver, since my commute just expanded to 70+ miles per day. I have been lucky so far, even though I seem to have every issue known to a man that owns a W124. The car keeps on going and so far it has not left me stranded. I hope the lucky streak continues until I get my new car.

He could lose the evaporator next, along with some other expensive AC parts. That might add up to more than 20% in additional issues. It hurts to give in and sell, but it can also set you free. I am feeling a little relief myself, now that I finally settled on another car and placed the order.
I do appreciate the help from everyone on my car issues over the past year, I don't do much posting but the "search" function has been my friend.
