But the 350SDLs are fine after they have a new engine or new rods installed,
right?
Let's say you're looking at a S-class with the 3.5L diesel engine - if all
the cylinders have good compression, then you can just put new connecting
rods in and have a very reliable car, right? Costs you $2500, $3000 or so
(assuming you don't do it yourself) and you have the last overengineered,
non-electronic S-class. Seems like a good way to buy a car.
Another 350SDL question - how much is one really worth, WITHOUT a new
engine? I'm not talking Kaleb pricing; I'm talking how much would people on
this list really pay? Please give two prices - one on a car needing new
rods, one on a car needing a new engine.
