Hey Guys, I have a chance to offer on somebody I know who has a 1982 Black 240D manual transmission that has turbocharger.. It has 140,000 miles & according to my MB mechanic who also works on it said it is a beautiful car-to go for it!! Apparently this owner/friend hurt his leg on his construction equipment and ended up losing that leg.Therefore a stick is hard for him to drive and he has another Mercedes he can drive. I have a 1983 240D automatic with 184,000 which I love & have to fix items like heater core, A/C, Antenna,master cylinder & so on. I intend to keep it anyway but my question is people have told me to stay away from Turbochargers......What problems could I run into since I don't know much about this?? Is the Turbo removeable if there are problems?[Stupid question I presume] Are Turbos expensive upkeep ?? And lastly what is this car worth since he told me to make an offer?? I do not want to take advantage of him; this from a guy at 59 who just had a shocking stroke 2 1/2 months ago.So I can't putter on my cars for at least 2-3 months..........THanx for your input in advance.....By the way I have yet to see the car but will soon !!
