Depends who the buyer is and the condition of the vehicle. I'm looking at a 1987 Mercedes 420SEL with 360,000 miles. The mileage scares most potential buyers off so the price is right at $1500.00. Everything works except for issues with the FI system. I've worked on enough CIS systems that I feel confident that worse case the "fix" is a $350 eBay part. Thanks, Tom Hargrave www.kegkits.com www.stir-plate.com www.towercooler.com www.grow-sun.com www.raspberryproject.com Did you try to call & I did not answer? I apologize but I never answer numbers I don't recognize because I'm tired of sales people trying to sell me life insurance, health insurance, Obama insurance, merchant services, very expensive money and the latest, greatest "guaranteed to make millions" investment. -----Original Message----- From: Vanagon Mailing List [mailto:vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM] On Behalf Of JRodgers Sent: Sunday, March 2, 2014 9:23 PM To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Subject: Does mileage really matter? Does mileage really matter on a 25 year old vehicle?? In both my vans - the speedos were replaced some years back, so I have no real mileage to report when someone asks - only what's on the current speedometer. The mileage issue seems to spook my potential buyers. They ain't buying a modern car!! John |
