I am considering purchasing a 1982 Mercedes 240D from a fella named Jim Ellington. His alias at mercedesshop.com is engatwork.
His contact information is as follows ...
work email address is james.ellington@email.riverwood.com
another email Address is ell_j@hotmail.com
night and PayPal email is engatwork@alltel.net
work (478) 784-3692
home (478) 953-8643

The 240D is a 1982 model with 145K miles +/- 1k miles. It is pretty much in showroom/excellent condition and I have ALL records since day one, including the delivery paperwork where it was picked up in Germany by the first owner - a Captain in the Canadian Forces. I have recently installed a new water pump and radiator in addition to having the cruise control actuator/amp rebuilt. It is running on R12 and will pretty much make you have to turn the a/c down it blows out so cold. It has an aftermarket am/fm/cd player. The interior is as good as it gets. The only thing that does not work is the power antenna which is stuck in the up position. I can hear the antenna motor running so I suspect it just needs the cable part replaced. have attached one picture and if you want more let me know. Where do you live? You are more than welcome to come take a look at the car if you are nearby.

I just got off of the phone with Mrs. Elgert. She works in the Title Production area of the MVA. Phone number 410.787.7947. I explained I was purchasing a car from Georgia and the owner does not have his name on the title. She checked her "books" and said I should be OK if I have the Certificate of Title and a notorized bill of sale.
