Now I know I'm getting old. If I could get this for around $9-9.5k it would make a great Sonoma/Napa weekend wine cruiser for four friends. Bullitproof old merc straight 6.

Looks like you might be able to get it ... it's at $8100 with 50 minutes left

Somebody got a great deal on that. I couldn't get over the interior but am still filled with regret.

The auction house is about 8 miles from my house. Seems cheap right now.

Only a 3.2 liter, but might be fun (or a money pit)

I checked out and bid on the red one in my link, but I stopped bidding at 6k. plan would have been to clean it up a little more and turn it around on BAT

Maybe I should have bid higher

Not BAT but this ticks all the boxes except the comp pkg. Anyone have seat time in both to compare? I don't mind the standard 19's at all.
