^ Nice. I think they stopped with that design in 2002? And that should be an EJ20 motor. Twin scroll turbo

 

soooooo, for off-road / suv, I don’t get the manual benefits. At times you need your left foot on the brake and right foot rolling on the throttle while you gently rolling off the brake to try and make forward movement over an obstacle while not rolling backwards down a hill. I suppose my actual problem is the clutch / 3 pedal part, not the manual portion of if, but with cars, those 2 come together.

In college when I went off road with my jeep, some other folks had crawler gears in their Jeep CJ that’s were slower than walking pace when engaged but at times depending how and where they got stuck, they would have to roll way back and then give it another shot.

 

Classic. They don't make 'em like this anymore .... And only 32k on the odo.

 

^ e320?

 

No fender vents, so not a diesel. E320 would be my guess as well.

 

300 TE.

Bid's at $13k

There is a '94 E320 for sale, too, on BaT:

1994 Mercedes-Benz E320 Wagon

https://bringatrailer.com/listing/19...e320-wagon-14/

 

Effectively the same car, slightly different engine & naming scheme.
IIRC, 1994 was when MB went from putting the series ahead of the name, instead of after.

 

I was close. Without some research I was fairly certain it was E class, just not the fire breathing version or a 500. I've always liked those wagons. Just something about those MBs.

 

I don't think we ever got a hot W124 wagon [or any hot wagons until the W211 E55]. Just the E500E sedan & some low-production AMGs, before it was a fully in-house division.
Really a shame that the W203 C Estate was only available in C240 trim A C32 Estate would've been great.

 

It was sooo tempting when I lived in Stuttgart. Got there in 2011 and saw someone selling a 2008 C63 AMG Avant for ~$29K. It was sweet, but no hope of importing to the USA. The size was just right, and it was an AMG (Another Mortgage, Great). But I'm happy now with the little wagon I have.

 

Poor sales (so eventually canned in USDM), but always thought the sportbrake was a pretty handsome vehicle.

 

 

It's a shame that most of these older Legacy/OB wagons are likely trashed by now.
That & cash for clunkers took a lot of good cars off the road.

 

someone selling this locally for $8200 CAD, has 186,320 km

 

I know someone that can get you one......

Seriously, if you wanted a 25 year old JDM there are ways.

 

True.
RHD in a daily would get old, though.

 

Not sure about those 19" wheels, but otherwise ....

Would pull a nice premium a week before race wars.

 

From this mornings cars and coffee.

 

^ Is it just me, or is the RS6 Avant just looking at the "EV Parking" paint and saying F%$# You?

 

I had my Legacy RHD in Germany for 5 years. It didn't get old at all. The only pain in the ass part of it was parking garages. Getting the ticket and then leaving with a validated ticket. Oh, and the German inspectors every year telling me my headlights were not pointing correctly. They were, they just hated that the machine said they were good.

 

In the early 80's I had a British '74 2002, it was interesting getting out on the curbside & I got used to shifting with my left hand.

I miss it now.

Old skoo ....

 

 

Dang! That Toyota is the super high performance, light weight edition with the radio delete!

 

I love the spare tire strapped underneath the back-end, between the leaf-springs.

 

Seen at C&C in SF over the weekend

 

i was there too. thats where i snagged the pic of the Mercedes wagon.

 

A small, modern, Toyota wagon. Not horrible to look at.

 

 

The back half makes me think of the TSX / accord wagon. Too bad that car wasn’t avail with a v6 and manual.

 

Always liked the TSX Wagon, but was also disappointed it never got a manual option here.

 

would’ve loved the TSX wagon with a V6

Here's a 1999, but a C240. Literally under 30K miles. Looks pristine. They want about $12K for her. You can get quite nice older luxury cars here for cheap.
