guys,first of all, its difficult to put a value on these cars as there is no actual benchmark for one of these..
let me ask, how many w111 220s still exsist in the country still in original condition? im not trying to put down the cars in the 20-70K range but please have a look at the originality of these cars first... as i have seen, most has an engine transplanted... then comes to the w111 220se fuel injection, have u guys seen a fuel injected original local car still running around? from what i gather, none of them as it cost a fortune to keep them running... so far, only a handful whihc is recently imported has the injection engine... and lastly, this one is a w112, a 300se fuel injection with air suspension system... and in such original condition... if im after a fintail, this is the holy grail man...
anyone familiar on how much to put a 600 w100 air suspension right will know the cost of an air suspension rebuild. :)
the owner has a fleet of merc, a 600, a 280se 3.5 coupe, a g wagon and the list goes on and from how he restores his cars, i bet is worth every penny, if you browse mudah, you will see his other 280se 3.5 coupe for sale too... if i have the money, i would just get one of his cars and be done with it than to waste time to restore one of those diesel engined trashed everyday workhorse.
good luck to the owner... BTW, this fintail won the best class in the sedan catagory and won him 2 tickets to germany. :)
