So my Indy finally found a broken wire that he's convinced has been destroying regulators in my 240D, I'm glad that settled finally. I'm still planning on replacing the car but theres no real hurry, I can keep my eyes peeled for a real nice deal. I'm not sure why but my Indy seems to dislike the w201 cars, maybe its the tight clearances, whatever. He's no keen on the 190D I've been looking at. For that matter neither is my wife, she says its too small. I contend that its just as big as the Corolla she pointed out on the highway last week.
While I was there my Indy mentioned he knew of an '82 300SD for sale. 295k on the body, trans was rebuilt @180k, the engine was replaced 60k ago with an Adset (thats what he said, what does it mean?). New tires, new radiator and recent paint. Apparently one brake line is bad right now but that will be fixed before sale. The car was bought new by a dealership mechanic and then sold to his son in-law at some later point. Apparently both gentlemen are anal about maintenance. He wants $2k. An '82 would be a w126 right? Nothing on mileage to the 190D 2.2l but a big comfortable car I guess. I'll call the guy tomorrow and get the full scoop but what does the collective wisdom say? -Curt '83 240D "Hammie" 234kmi --------------------------------- Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page
