Sold a car today so I have 6k in cash to play with............the heart says yes, but the mind says no......

maybe I should just pay off my CCs now........that would be the smart move.

agreed.

I have noticed the price of the ebay 2006 CRDs dropping, say $5k, over the last 9 months..... I guess this is normal, but a little disturbing none the less.

I vote pay down the CCs. They leak money faster than the depreciation of any vehicle and you'll have more money later if you're not saddled by debt.

I've seen what you can do but looking at this I see major problems in the right front. It will need lots of expensive parts unless you can find one crunched in the rear :lol: Your coins would be better spent on a used one. The prices of suv's is dropping daily. Yesterday my favorite watering hole wanted $4.999 for a gallon of Diesel :shock: We're to the point where the amount of fuel in the tank can make or break a deal :wink:

Get out from under the CC's :roll:

Wasn't planning on fixing it, the engine would make a nice swap into my XJ.

Though I still have the MJ CRD swap going on.

And ya, the benz I just bought had 3/4 of a tank of diesel........nice little bonus.

It all depends. Sir Sam and I have been trying to land one of these guys for the past few months but the bids are too high for our interest. Lately they have been going anywhere from $5,000 to $6,000. I placed a bid for $4,600 on a rolled CRD and got outbid. I was wanting to buy one for my JK project. After losing my bid, I decided to buy the individual parts (the 2.8 VM, Wiring, and Transmission) separately. The used market is getting cheaper. I’ve seen 2005 CRD’s with less than 50,000 miles sell for as cheap as $9,500 not wrecked.

Ya, and that next 05 limited with 30k and without the F37 sold for 5200. I think that rolled one you bid on went too high for what it was, even at klode.

I would hope this one would sell around 3k.

$3,000 would be worth it just for the motor and all the wiring.

Ya, but even though I may be conscious of the smart thing, that doesn't always mean I do it.

Anyone who has ever gotten beer and explosives together knows that.

It's really SAD when you can buy a non-wrecked CRD for $10,500 - $12,500. Why you would pay nearly $6,000 for a wrecked one that is going to require a lot of work and money is beyond me. I love diesels.......................................... Oh, I'm assuming those 2.8 engine swaps are becoming popular. By the time I finish my JK, there will be several out on the road. I think this is why we have been seeing "HIGH" prices for wrecked CRD's.
