Odd... I've had one for years now... its one of the few cars I won't sell.
I wrote about the car a bit here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jaimekop/5711924840/in/photostream Sure, 110hp isn't exactly ideal for a car of that weight, but it does work very well in the car. Its geared to keep the engine sitting right where it makes loads of torque when you're on the highway, like all the other turbo diesels. Each time I drive it I'm impressed with how easily it goes over 80 mph. The 2nd gear start transmission that the early cars had doesn't help things off the line, but a kick down to first is enough when you need it. By then, the M117 in the 450s were getting pretty smogged down and were far off from the power they made when introduced in the early 70s. Looking back, the diesel was the right engine choice for that car and its reflected in the cars' values today. Jaime On Wed, Aug 1, 2012 at 10:18 AM, Kaleb C.
