Came across this last night, W124 250D with 325k, appears to have been bodged to within an inch of its life to get through the last couple of MOTs - it still has one btw!

Currently listed for £0 with no bids

buy it, take the grill off and mount it on your garage wall, weigh in the rest at the srappies and get £200 back.
Just wish it was closer to me.

Yep, take off anything recently replaced or difficult to source and weigh the rest of the poor girl in.

£200 scrap? Not this millennium.

My local cab company would have that on their "exec fleet" and get another 2 or 3 years out of it!

What a total shambles that is. Pity really - they go on forever with a bit of TLC. Look at this one with 450k km on it

Is it worth saving in that state? Hardly a true "classic". boxedin

"Mercs of this era are virtually indestructible"
They've given it a red hot crack though.
If I could have the location of the £200 scrap paying salvage yard too please, that'd be great. Cheers
