Well Im done with my 500 SEL. The timing chain jumped and bent a few
valves, and I dont (cant afford) to fix it, so Im going to part it
out. The transmission is good, really didnt have any problems with it,
the fluid was pink and no metal shavings when I changed it this week.
If you guys are interested in any parts, let me know. This is sure a
sad day for sure :(. I loved that car.  Any ideas on how much I could
make on parts? I wanna get a nicer 560 to replace it

If you part everything on that car, you probably bought yourself a 560SEL
with some cash left over. Lots of parts on the engine are worth alot of
money.

Like what parts should I aim to sell?
Tiger - 27 Aug 2007 15:00 GMT
Fuel distributor... alternator... AC compressor... AC pump... someone will
buy radiator... all the computers... ignition computer... ignition coil...
fuel pump relay....Power steering

You actually can sell the whole block cheap too... just  indicate that
timing slip and valve bent... those serious DIY will pick it up.

Interior... all the seats... radio... AC control... instrument cluster...
door panels

Exterior, all the lights... some local might pick up the bumper... fuel
pump... brake calipers... if you have self leveling system... the pump and
components... ABS brake if you have it... Trunk and hood if locals need it.
Door handles/lock... Spare tire wheel, jack, tool kit.

Look up the prices on ebay and be resonable... fixed price listing sells
real fast with the right price... may be in the matter of hours if not
minutes.
