Re: [MBZ] A 220D at the grocery...
That's a good description of my deceased wifes 240D which I will probably be selling for high market value if I find a gas burner that gets very good mpg. With unpredictable gas/fuel prices, one needs both an economical diesel and gasoline burning car.

Re: [MBZ] A 220D at the grocery...
The other day, My dad spotted what turned out to be a kind of ratty 220D in the local Goodwill store parking lot as we were pulling in. We parked about 30 feet away, but upon opening my door, I smelled Diesel. It must have had one he** of a leak to smell it that far away! The body was straight and free of rust (as far as I can see), , but it had a trashy interior. I was surprised to find that it had a sunroof since I haven't seen too many early W115's so equipped. I didn't have anything to write a note on or I would have offered him/her $500.00, or $501 if it was a '72. The car was still there when we left, and no one was around.

I drove Brunnhilde today to Sams Club to get some dog food and Rio Reds, as I was fixin to leave the security guy comes roaring up in his pickup and said "If you ever want to sell that car give me a call!" He said he had a TD at one time, 4spd Euro, only 100k miles or so, and it got stolen, all was left was broken glass on the pavement. Someone found the engine block in Juarez some time later. We discussed old diesels for awhile then I had to get home to TCOB.
