I am selling cause i want something else and I need the space.

Would trade for a Diesel.

The attached file is for the 560sel, if I am correct. What are the VIN of the these cars. I know that you are the original owner, but you might have an idea about the transmission. When was the last time it has been serviced.

Damn a blue 89 560SEL would look great next to my Grey 89 one but I'm way in Germany. Dang, I love the 1989-1991 560s so much I would buy two of them. One I would mod (of course keeping the the 560 style and feel) and one keep bone stock. I'm never at the right place at the right time for deals like that.

RE: For Sale 560SEL and 300SDL
 

Yea I love It two but in order to get that C36 I have to sell :(.

RE: For Sale 560SEL and 300SDL
 

Oh. The result of running out of space. Same situation sorta with me. I love my BMW too but if I want a V-12 luxury vehicle Imust get rid of one of my cars for space. And my 560 SEL isn't going anywhere. I'd go through a couple of wives and divorces before I get rid of it. I'll keep it until the wheels fall off. (I haven't heard that happening on these W126s too often.) I wouldn't be surprise if I get old and die while having the 560 even if I must (for some reason) modify the engine to run off what ever "quickly dissapearing" resource they find in the future.

BlackWolf y did our gov't stick u in Germany?

RE: For Sale 560SEL and 300SDL
 

I chose to be here. I've been to Korea, a small year and a half in the states (hated it.) and requested to go to Germany just to get out of the states.

RE: For Sale 560SEL and 300SDL
 

I have always wanted to go to Germany.

The people are a lot nicer and you don't have to worry about some one coming out of the blue and robbing, shooting, or other idiotic things that I see alot of Americans do. Some of that stuff happens but it's on rare occurances and it's mostly perputrated by Americans. Also it's just plain relieving to not have to put up with that cocky snobby "I'm better than everybody and I rule the world" American attitude 24 hours seven days a week. Even the French people are alot nicer, once you learn and or try to learn a little French and understand them. Then there are alot of things to do. Germany is basically in the middle of everything. The time it takes you to get to Paris, is not much shorter than the time it takes you to get to Rome, Italy. You can never run out of things to do, whether it's drinking beer (real beer not that American piss water that's called beer in the states.) or sight seeing, or whatever, there is truely something for everyone. But if you are addicted to Wal-mart, and other 24 hour service, you might be in trouble. It's changing but most places closes at around 4 in the after noon on Saturday and are closed totally on Sunday unless it's a pub or club. So you have to stock up on Saturday. It's a good place to visit and bring your car if you can. If you can't no biggy. To rent a brand new E-class is way cheaper than renting a Stratus in the states. But remember the Euro is up and a dollar is worth a little less here. Around $1.23 will get you one Euro. And sales taxes is around 16% but you hardly notice, because the price listed includes that tax amd it's still either not as or just a little more expensive than it would be in the states. Of course American mades products are a little more expensive because over here, it's an import. The odd thing to me is that over here the McDonalds sell beer. You can order a Big Mac with fries and a Heinekin or something. And if you are a wine person with a budget, you can find all types of wines from all over Europe that would cost all your limbs if you bought it in the states over here for an affordable price. One example is I bought a $50 wine for about 10 Euro which is around $12.30. They have buildings and castles over here. some intact, that was built before anybody even thought about "finding" North America. They make the oldest American history event seem like yesterday. This is a fun place to be.

RE: For Sale 560SEL and 300SDL
 

U mentioned one of the major reason y i want to visit Europe in general i have always found castles and European history its self very interesting then again i find US history just as interesting but here your close to it and since its over there it is more intriguing.

RE: For Sale 560SEL and 300SDL
 

Oh yeah. It's one thing to sit in class for an hour or two talking about it and looking at photos and another thing to actually be in the real thing. You can walk out side your home in some places and sitting on top of the hill is some big old castle just the way it was since the medievlal days. Then they have museums all over that tells the history of most of the cities, who found them and how it got it's name, and other interesting facts that you will not really find in no American school history book. I can't describe half the stuff I've seen so far. It's real interesting.

On a side note, 90% of the buses are even benzes, but I haven't seen one BMW put to public transportation use besides police motorcycles. And take note, if the cops want to catch you they will. First of all there are hardly any police on the autobahn but you have cameras in the few speed limit zones and the city streets. And if they must chase you down, they will use their patrol cars and if that's not enough, you might end up having a Porsche 911 twin turbo on ya tail, or if you lucky (in Italy) a Lambo. If it gets to that point forwarned, you are going to jail, lose your liscense, and the jails here make the American ones seem like cake walk and it don't help if you don't understand a word they are saying.

RE: For Sale 560SEL and 300SDL
 

Yeah I would really like to spend about 5 years touring all of Europe. Everytime I think about it i wonder y i am sitting here on my ass after i am finshed college for the day when when i should be out trying to maek more money so this can one day come true.

Sounds like you have a 1st hand knowledge about jails in Europe. lol

RE: For Sale 560SEL and 300SDL
 

Not yet. But some of my wilder friends have and after that they said they would take American jail anytime over one of those jails.

I believe if you want something, you can have it, you just sometimes have to work a little harder and or make a sacrifce to get it whether it be time or money. Just as you sacrificed a little money to buy a car and get enjoyment from that car. I always wanted to travel the world, buy a Mercedes 560SEL and a BMW 7 series E23 since I was 5 years old. Of course they told me I was nuts since those cars cost over $65,000 in those days. But I knew the price would drop and I wanted one. I took a different route than most people have but that's my sacrifice I had to make to get what I want and work on things that I want and things that I will want. I'm only 21 and seen more of the world than some people will ever see in their lives. And it's sad that I know people that never been outside there home city before and or some people that only see the rest of the world through the TV news. The News tend to focus on the ery bad stuff because positive stuff on TV is bad for ratings. You have to see for yourself and you'll realize that you don't need no television to show you how the world is because you been there and you'll know the real truth. And being in the military specially have it's advantage during this time of war in finding out the truth. Especially when you looking at your co-workers lined up in rooms missing limbs and various other parts telling you how it was over there. But some people don't want to know the truth because it goes against what the TV told them. Anyways that's a different monster. All I'm saying is dreams are meant ot come true if you want them to. Watch, you'll have that C36 on the Autobahn one day.

RE: For Sale 560SEL and 300SDL
 

Yeah I am only 20 i have only been out of the country once so far and that was Mexico but i have been to over 40 states and i know people that have not been in more than 5 or six. About the war i have a cousin that was in Iraq and he was proud to have gone but he has two children and decided not to re-enlist after being in for 9 years cause he could not think of the idea of them growing up with out their father. The military had crossed my once or twice but like everyone i know told me that i have too much of a questioning nature and don't take orders well if i can't see a reason behind it. Not to mention I don't think i would pass the phyical cause i have a cold temperature intolerence (i lost my thyroid to cancer when i was 16).

RE: For Sale 560SEL and 300SDL
 

well the cold is the last thing you have worry about in the desert that is until the sun goes down and it's 65 degrees. After being in the 115 degrees sun, 65-70 feel like it's about to snow. I'm sorry to hear about your thyroid.
Yeah you are right. It's nearly impossible to have a questioning nature and make it in the military. In a way, that may be the problem with the military today and the root to most of the negative image and negative things that has been done. I'm not saying that and E-1 should just curse out his E-6 just because he disagreed with an order but there is a way of asking with respect. I think that it builds better units and better guidelines when soldiers just can ask questions when they just don't understand the reason. Most people will do it and gladly do sensible orders if they knew the reason and that reason becomes the reason that you are doing what you are doing. Instead of going in not knowing what's the point. That messes up morale, builds tension, which can be dangerous and is a danger on the battlefield when all that really matters life or death.
About your cousin, he made his sacrifice for his country and he deserves to be a father to his children undisturbed. The thing that most people seem to find funny is that some people that serve in the sand box are willing and some are itching to go back. I asked and they gave me numerous reasons, but the one thing the responses had in common is that there is a lot more to it than what is shown on TV, (because the positive is bad for ratings as they say). One day, since I will be in for at least a total of nine, I'll probably end up in the sand box (whether it be Iraq or Iran or what other middle eats country) and in no way will I try to get out of it and I will return with that experience added to the rest of them as another story to tell my grand kids about my world travels.

And another thing, I've seen some people with no home training at all turn into soldiers after basic training. And of course some of them didn't make it because they couldn't adjust. But in reality no matter what you get into there will always be Points of Authority whether it be the SGT or Manager, the General or the CEO. Just that they are a little more on the "just follow the order" side than most civilian jobs. It takes some getting use to. 3 years since I've been in and some times I get the urge to question and order or two but I've learned how to do it in a tactful manner.
