I need your opinions, please. I recently bought a 300D Turbo, and want
to sell my 1979 280TE, which is a Euro Wagon, fuel injected gas model,
with about 350,000 km on it. It's a very nice looking car, metallic
blue, with the European lights, etc., but there's some repainted rust
along the lower parts, and the engine burns a little oil. Interior has
cloth seats, in reasonably good condition. I'd like your expert
estimates of a reasonable price (in US Dollars) I could expect to get
for this car. I'm in British Columbia, Canada, if that makes a
difference. Would I get a better price advertising it in the Vancouver
papers, or selling it on eBay?

Importing an old non-USA spec car into the US is more trouble than the
car is worth, IMHO, so sell it locally. Of course if a US buyer
"discovers" your treasure and wants to bring it to the US then importing
it is HIS problem, not yours as no representation was made.

I would have thought for the money you can expect for such a car... maximizing
your profits seems, well, a bit silly. Be happy if you simply find a buyer
localy.... squeezing cents out of a car seems like a lot of work for little
returns
my opinion only, yours may differ

I would put it on Ebay.ca and keep it in Canada. Just be reasonable in
pricing or reserve.
