im no expert, and im sure someone will came back and say HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT blah blah blah
but here i go,
i recon 725 would be its ceiling
defo worth more as spares, the interior alone would bring around 350-400 and then there's the alloys, again 350 ish,
i know it would be a shame to break it but thats how i see it going, lets face it a ford mondeo diesel is a much better option for a general people wanting a 4 door family diesel saloon, not too many people want a 17 year old diesel.

with the right advert and some better photos it should fetch 1.5k, but with that rubbish ad probably near to 1k will what it will fetch.
looks a very clean multivalve 606 engine from the photo (quite rare) and also low mileage,.

it seems very low for such a spec, the only change I would do is retro fit the earlier grille, thats a car that with care could last another 20 years

You'd change the bonnet and lights ? it would cost more than the car is worth.

Good! More left in the market for me
the face lift makes the w124 look like a w140 not a good look in my view but each to their own

The seller of the above car has another E300 D for £ 4,500.00!!!
Seems a little steep to me!

One off apparently, I'm sure i've seen another one or two before!

Haha, 725 you sure? Not 724 or 726
see i told you someone would make comment!
i wasnt saying the auction would end at exactly 725
look i really dont care how much this is worth and would never consider buying a old non turbo diesel that according to Mercedes enthusiast magazine and i quote "it is as sluggish as a diesel from the 1970's "
need i say more, infact if you want an honest opinion of how much i would pay for it then it would be a big fat ZERO

When I brought mine back from the previous it cruised easily and quietly at 75-85mph.Back home and on the daily run to work and back I formed an opinion this car was compromised performance wise.This was mainly due to the auto' box, in 4th at 30 mph in built up areas blunting the throttle response. Now I find manually dropping into 3rd on long (30 mph) gradients and generally using more throttle the car easily keeps up with traffic conditions/is more than adequate.I would say a new driver may have to alter their driving style to become comfortable with this particular car
