There are some impressive numbers there.
It looks like prices were very reasonable and not over inflated.

I am currently traveling with work (allowed since November 1) through north western NSW.
I was at the local pub last night having dinner and just looking at what cars were near by.
This one popped up near Bathurst.
$6k or make an offer.
Looks pretty good for the money, the guys description sounds pretty good.

Could be a good project.
It was a shame we never got the big engine SWB 126 models. I would have a 560SE instead of an SEL if they had made that model in RHD and sold it here.

One for Michel - just needs paint but looks presentable. 560SEL.


Don't think its a 560 - perhaps an import 500? Looks like the interior has been changed too.

Some interesting shannons results.

Lot 165: 1993 300TE Wagon, $33,500.

There must have been cocaine in the glove box to get this price for a car that was listed as having rust in the D pillars. My opinion 2-3x market price.

Lot 168: 6.9 - $32,500.

These seem to go more like mid to high 30s for a nice driver quality 6.9, so probably a good buy for somebody.

Lot 205: 380SEC

This was a MBCNSW members car that was in very nice driver condition. I would say high teens is about right for these, so this seems about right.

Love the colour.
Just needs those horrible aftermarket chrome arch molds removed. I would imagine the 5 speed transforms the car. I drove an automatic 180E and didn't care for it.

0-100 kms in just a fraction under 13 seconds has little to recommend it. This was the true poverty pack vehicle; solid but most un-inspiring.
I would recommend only if you intend to run a taxi firm.

Forget em!

Buy bigger
Buy better

They were the first entry level model, and boy were they entry level.

Only good if they have under 5k on the clock in a museum.

The man thing you do while driving any of these models is——-
