  • Need A New Daily Driver

    So, if you were following my build thread (which you prolly weren't) my car got totaled and they gave the title a COD, so there's no bringing it back short of doing an illegal vin swap or something. So i've been looking for a new car to replace it. Well I found a w124 1994 E320 coupe in Michigan which was in my budget and was exactly what I was looking for but my deadbeat friends took too long to go look at it and it got bought from out under me. Soo...now i'm on the look for another car. There's no need to keep looking for that car again because they're too rare, and by the time I find another one like that it'll be too long and I need a dd relatively soon.

    Soo....as it stands it would be nice to be able to get another Mercedes that I could reuse my AMG 3.6 motor instead of letting it go to waste or selling it. I was looking for a sl320 also but they're just as rare apparently. Also I was thinking of putting it into a 190e but they seem a little too old for a dd, it's still on the list as maybes. So wat do you guys think? Do you guys have any opinions or suggestions? I have around 5k to work with.

    Some other cars that I wouldn't be able to use my AMG motor with but are in my budget and are kinda cool
    This car is in bad shape but I could prolly fix it up pretty easily and I think they came factory with bag like suspension


    This car is really cheap, but I thought with it slammed and a different paint job it could look manlyish? what do you guys think? I've seen some slammed and they look pretty good.


    I kinda want to stick to MB's since no one really modifies them, and I would love to get a German car before SOWO, but like I said I'm open to any suggestions. I do have friend/history with Mercedes and Porsche's so it would be easier to fix those kinda euro cars.

    Anywho, lemme know what you guys think.

    The Boxster listing is a scam.

    The S430 has loads of potential.

      How do you know it's a scam? Well I emailed him and haven't got a reply yet. And ya I think the s class does have loads of potential I just don't know if I could have a huge car like that idk. I kinda wanted something a little...less family of 4.

        Did you look at the price of the Boxter? Those cars are no where near that cheap.

          Well that's fine if it's a scam, my hearts not set on it or anything. I was really more asking for opinions or whatever. I also have a set of OZ AMG's that I prolly won't be able to use on the s class cause they're only 17's and plus they're more of an aggressive look not really would work on a s class.

          What do you guys think about this. I've seen a couple on here so I know you can make them look good

              I would stay away from the s-class, they are cheaply made and have countless problems. Why not get a w124 e320 4-door and swap the c36 motor?

                  tbh I **** the 210/203/208 cars, I don't kno why. I like the idea of a 500E but I couldn't get rid of the 4 cam v8 for the AMG motor and I've raced a couple and honestly, for all the hype and talk and value they don't impress me. I actually out ran one with my car. Now over 120 I think it'll outrun my car, but for the gas mileage my car got Idk if it's worth it. I do know my friend said he did get close to 180 with his tho, and I love the widebody on them. Still I think they're really expensive, idk I haven't really checked around yet.

                    E320 Coupe and swap the M104 over.
                    Take it the extra step and stick a 5 speed stick on it like I did with my coupe.


                    C124 + C36 M104 + 5 Speed Stick = Use your imagination
