In 1998, I offered $5000 to a used car salesman for a gold '90 240 DL sedan. He laffed at me and said he'd rather keep the car on the lot than sell it that cheap. Guess what. That darn car is *still* on the lot! I've watched it for the last 4 or 5 years...it's stayed right there. Anyhoo...I pulled up on the lot today and asked him about the car (he didn't remember me at first). He said he was asking $4300. I said "you should have taken the five thousand that I offered five years ago! Then he said he remembered me (hee hee). He seemed more "approachable" now. He said that he had to replace the fuel pump on the car and asked me to make an offer. Shucks...I dunno...the darn thing has been sitting on the car lot for five years. I told him I would be in touch with him in the next couple of days....I didn't even get out of my van to look at the car...so I don't know how many miles it has on it now...shouldn't be much more...I drive by the lot everyday to work.

I mentioned that soldering the fuel pump relay board was common on these cars...and he gave me the "well..we do it the right way by replacing the fuel pump" speech.

Any pointers on what to look for when I go by there tomorrow or the next day? The body looks in good shape...interior has some spots. I'll drive it and see...but what is it worth????????
