I sure would love to have that wagon, but jeze, could you *be* any further away??? Ironically, my neighbor (and friend) was on Vancouver Island last week.

How did you come by the car and how long have you had it? How many miles? Or is the speedo in km/h?

Why is the body painted black below the belt line? What's the rust situation?

There was an 87 TD locally a few years ago, also signal red with a black interior.

<edit>

Oh, most importantly, could I even bring that into the US without huge aggravation? Does it have cats?

I'm also very curious :surrender:

 

This looks like an awesome car. Seems that it should be going for a much higher price. Is something wrong with it?

If you do end up parting it, I'd love the all the zebrano and the ACC control.

 

The car won't start, that alone will put off 90% of buyers.
Hence the lower price.

 

I think it needs a coil. Its acting up. No time to fix it right now. So i'm selling it at a lower price. Too many projects cleaning up a bit..

 

Right too busy to install a coil, maybe fix the issue, and thus raise the price of the car far above what it cost to fix it? I'm sorry but something smells fishy.

Good luck selling it.

 

I have a new hobby right now that is keeping me a bit busy. If you only knew how many cars i have.. Lol... I don't really mind selling it a lower price especially if its going to a board member. It my fair share to the members.
I can always ask for more for it. I know the going price of the euro 5 speeds just wanted to share it. I have owned it for less than 2 years. I have another one of these in a different color its the one in my sig.

It has 240,000kms+ on it. I got it with the bottom panels painted black. I don't why they did that. Regarding rust. I have to double check again. I don't remember there might be a little but no big ones as far as i remember.... I'll look at it in the morning again. Busy fixing up the w115

 

Bump.. 5 speed... Easy to bring across the border just in case.... Its vintage...

 

I desperately want a wagon but I am not looking for one right now. And I live in Kalifornistan. Unless it's California emissions certified or exempt.....

Even my 95 was scrutinised when I brought it from Washington, to make sure that it had the 50 state sticker, not a 49 state sticker. (Mercedes didn't have a separate California model by that time.)

 

Easy to bring across the border? Really? I could get that titled/registered in Pennsylvania?

 

I bet you could.

 

some questions

1. The car has the 3.0 liter 103 engine?
2. With no emissions controls- EGR & cats?
3. KPH speedo?
4. Do Canadian cars have the USA Federal equipment like real bumpers (not just surround & foam impact strip but the actual steel reinforcement as well) and door side beams?
5. Is a 26 year old car exempt from being Federalized?

6. Suppose I were to buy it to bring it to the states to swap the 5 speed into my 91 300TE & part out or store as a parts car and therefore not ever intend to title it. How would I tag it to get it across the border? Now some folks in the past have simply put a set of tags from one of their other cars on to the car they just bought to drive it home, and then have it titled and tagged. Would someone theoretically dare try to do that to get it into the USA??

I was under the impression that any car over 25 years of age was exempt from any federalization

Great.

How about the other five questions? Thanks.

 

The problem as I read this, is that the car was not originally sold as a Canadian bound car (i.e., it was gray market coming into Canada from Germany). If it were, it would be easier to license in the US. Here are two primers to get ya going:

How to Import Cars Over 25 Years Old to the USA

Importing...

I just went through this process for an '87 300TE 5 speed from British Columbia. I was pretty worried but couldn't pass up the deal (140,000km) so I bought it. The previous owner drove it to Bellingham WA and met my transporter and it was delivered to me two days ago. I went to get it tagged today...took two hours and $107! Exempt from EPA and DOT because of being 25 years old, it was imported to Canada in '06 from Europe and it's lacking in all the bells and whistles we're used to in this model but it drives like a dream.
So anyone interested in bringing a Canadian vehicle to the states...as long as it's 25+ years old it's not a problem at all!

 

Still for sale?

 

Car is still with me... Haven't posted it for a longtime already..
