On the way home this evening I noticed a couple of stations have lowered their price by 1-2 cents/gallon. Hope this trend continues.

Doctor,

Or should I say DR// AMG

just kidding, keeping things alive, Doc What do you think of 1987 W124 (300E) with 150K mileage good condition. What would be the fair price and is there common problem and issue?

I am thinking about getting another car to run around in, I love my E320, but have been driving a lot.

I know about the AC and front oil leak common problem..

ANY other suggestion..ANYONE?..

Also, is 1987 is good year or any other prefered year...

Whitey,

Yea, I was just goofing off with Doc, he seems to be a cool guy.

I dont know about him bending over for the car though:p
Or is it someone else...

But I know one thing, he is going to turn his W210 into a nice piece or artwork, after looking at his W124, he sure knows how to do it right.

As him about Bremos Brake.... Just Kidding doc, I saw the red brake calipper, I am going to do the same thing.

My good friend Whitey,

My car looks pretty much same as in the pic thread, SAND color, the pic which was taken on the beach.

I have not done much to the car, except, TV, DVD, and keeping the car in top notch mechanical condition.

There is nothing to show, you guys have much nicer car and the MOD than mine.

Its not a case of who has the best or most mods, what's important is we take pride in and enjoy our cars, no matter how we derive our enjoyment be it modding it, keeping it in good condition or seeing how much more potential we can drain out of it. Take your time and enjoy the drive in the meantime.

All you guys should have lived in Norway. We pay 12 Norwegian kroner per liters.
Thats about 7,28$ a gallon.

I use about 600dollars every month in gas.

What do you think about that?

3.69 for me as well in Anaheim CA. I really only fill up with $30 worth at a time to make the car lighter. I mine as well take out the back tire too. I hate paying this much for gas. I just fill up when I pass a cheap gas station on the way to somewhere.
