I’d love to know the origin of this car before Canada, to explain the rust... probably Germany. Still, this is a GREAT price for a euro-import. You could buy this, salvage the bumpers and headlights and be totally ahead of your money. OR, if it’s a decent runner, drive it and forget it at this price!

DS7 ... just look at that interior...

NP. Nice examples from sun-fade free AND rust-free areas are pretty rare, and this one is mostly unmolested. Even with the mileage, this isn’t really so bad.

He is right about potential collectibility, but I feel he’s misguided in the rest. I am no flag-waving Tesla fan, but ... hey Lutz... remember when GM went bankrupt? The company you used to run? Yeah, the biggest domestic automaker? Yeah, that one. Gotcha.

It’s interesting that the IIHS disclosure says “built after May 2o17" ... so what’s the difference between the cars before and after? IIHS uses standard and optional safety equipment to rate cars in addition to their crash tests, so I wonder if that was the only difference?

It will be interesting as this unfolds because, ahem, there are video cameras all over the entrance of stores and the parking lot.

On a recent work trip in Detroit, I had something like this happen.... Hertz rental car had wipers SO bad that one actually disintegrated while driving on the freeway in the snow. The rubber separated from the metal. I’m guessing they were original to this particular car, at nearly 40K miles. Note to self, always…

I was in high-school when this car was built, and there were quite a few around. My family friends, diesel enthusiasts, had and older 810 Maxima Diesel and a W116 Mercedes 300SD from the 70's... the 810 had a crushed velour interior almost exactly like this one.

So, as a former G owner... I reviewed the images, and nothing else... I don’t see that they did THAT much on the outside... but, it appears they may have canted the windshield backwards slightly. There appears to be a new sheetmetal insert that pushes the base of the windshield out slightly. On the old W460/W463…

You are correct. I’ve had a Sportline, with the rare tan leather, not black/red

W124 Mercedes actually.

This was supposed to be about everyone’s opinions on the vehicle right? I mean, maybe just maybe someone else on the site actually would care about safety too? My now 29 year old car is still safer than most modern cars it’s size... so there miiiight be a few of us that care.

CP. Not for anything other than the crash tests. Look closely at this picture: The dash and steering wheel are at the headliner, and the entire driver space is essentially gone. I remember that the head of IIHS commented that his family drove a Previa until they crash tested it... and he sold it immediately. …

This is a WILDLY overpriced example, that’s had repaint work AND has the HORRIBLE chrome wheel tack-on... least desirable of the diesels, incorrectly painted bumpers, total CP... and that’s from a W124 owner!

I’ve owned an 80's 524TD, the next generation E28, and my family had an E12 528i in the past. These are SOLID cars, but a nightmare in every other respect. This restomod lost me at the external oil cooler, which probably was part of the reason for the deeper chin spoilers on the E28 535is. Too bad this restoration…

This is a gorgeous car! It hardly looks used.

Well... since we already made the 880 mile one way trip once, in bad weather, we decided not to make the trip again.

At this price? The seller is DREAMING.

This guy sounds like my hero in the making...

Standard Cooper, Sport Package, manual trans... it was a mostly city car in Chicago.
