Well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I paid $1800 for Martha, my 1983 w123 300d turbo with 235,000 miles because the seller was desperate. But, in 1990, I paid $7000 for Mary, my first 1983 w123 300d turbo with 60,000 miles (Mary & Martha = twins). In 2006 I put another $5000 into Mary for an engine. So, I have maybe $15K invested in Mary, and $3K in Martha. I drive them both but prefer Mary - maybe because I have invested so much. Kind of like the story of the chicken and the pig when it was time to sacrifice before the Lord. Eggs were cheap, but a pork chop was costly.

I am in Wisconsin and I want to know if 5500.00 is a fair price and can I use it as a daily driver? What should I be looking at on this car? Thank for the help!!
