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 !!
