Is it worth the hassle

Afternoon Folks

I hope you are all well

So I'm finally getting a company car early March so the ML will be surplus to requirements
On a 2009 plate with 187k on the clock she's a little long in the tooth but still a great work horse with recent MOT, tyres and service
I have had her for about 11 years and always serviced her at a local Mercedes specialist and anything needed has been done
She takes her time starting in the morning but after turning over a couple of times she springs to life
Recently had a bit of juddering when at a stop in drive which i started a thread on so looks like the torque converter is giving up and this is way beyond my capabilities

So the dilemma is do i put it on here at a bargain price and someone could get a few more years (or even more if they liked a tinker)
or do i just sent it to the "we buy any car" graveyard and have done with it

Try here first with pics and more details/price , then WBAC if you don’t get any tickles here ?

My bid is £300

Same dilemma in my own thread (have I made a big mistake)

Our old Galaxy has been such a useful and problem free tool for life. Covering intergalactic mileage without fuss, not letting the side down ever and all for minimum investment.

Very sadly she has gone to WBAC just to avoid ‘the public’ and the ‘umming and arrring’ over a bargain price, tired car that just needs someone with time, a little knowledge and spanners. I cannot abide the moron who comes to look at a £1000 massive car with fsh complains about the fact that the paint is not as glossy as it should be…the old girl deserves to at least give up her good parts for other Galaxy’s to live on

She could be fully fixed for 2-3k, but it is time to let go and simply remember how she moved us, as a family, on and helped us to discover new places and adventures.

May she rest in peace, glory to her and all who benefit from her parts.

May she rest in peaces, glory to her and all who benefit from her parts.

FTFY!
