Default How much is my Merc worth?

I'm moving abroad and I have to sell the last of my Mercedes. I'm trully sorry to see it go, since it took my a while to find it.

It's an 86 Mercedes Benz 190D 5 speed Euro. It's a Florida car(now in NY) and it has never seen snow. It's gray, but the paint is faded and it had a small hit n the rear left. It has a black average interior, one of the windows doesn't work and the speedo doesn't work either, but it has something around 250K miles on it. All new filters, battery and synthetic oil(motor/trans/diff). A/C doesn't seem to be working either.
I got 41 mpg highway doing 110mph for about an hour. Straight as an arrow and smooth as silk.. A thousand times better than my W123 or my W116.

I bought it for 2K about 2 years ago... How much should I expect to get for it now????

wow where do you live that you could get away with doing 110mph for an hour?or in other words for 110 miles without a ticket?

Driving somewhere in Alabama or Georgia around midnight with a radar detector.

IMHO a radar detector is just a way to know that you just got a ticket
