You are an expert in my eyes, and I have had minimal experience with
the diesel. I am not sure the car in question has seen the road in
ages and may not have been cared for in those years to keep it going.
Might have been your 240 had a few more miles and actually wore the
cylinders in. Gump after two years was a steaming pile of manure until
she got at least 500 miles of daily road time to blow the cobwebs out.
At $120 I can gamble, at $5k No way am I interested in a pristine body
in need of an engine

Clay,
I can only speak from my own experience. I am on my first Benz and am
way
lower than an expert on these things.
My 240D sat in an Iowa barn for eight years before I came to own it.
Mech
(brother-in-law) says it was a bear to start for the first time. He
even
used (God forgive him) ether. But after that first firing, it hasn't
stumbled since.

interested in a car that has sat for 15 years and never got broken in
