The wheels are a bit gaudy but would not be a deal breaker for me if everything

I thought of purchasing a E250 Bluetec sedan that had been de-DEFed by its
PA owner. Seller claimed 45-50 mpg as a result, but it wouldn't pass MD
inspection so I purchased a legal E250 in VA. I get 45 mpg on the beltway
in any case, so not much difference under the DEF system.

Thanks for the welcome Dan!
In my past M1 was exactly what I was using back when buying parts from
Rusty and listening to the wise council of Marshal Booth. Not sure if you
guys know of them but they both really helped me do the care & feeding of
my W123's back in 07.
Found it interesting the
This will be my daily driver, as I'll probably unload my 06 CDI w/ 250k
needs ABS & the interior is falling apart, my bride is not excited, she
loves that car. I owned all my W123s in a previous life. She said she
grew up hating the look of the W123 :-) Funny we may have one in the family
now..
I'm in Tennessee, only a few cold days. I drive the truck then.
Thanks for the tip!

I remember that, never actually did the analysis. Do you recall where you
did that? Or the cost?

I haven't heard complaints about the DEF system on the Sprinters like I have on
MB's passenger vehicles. Maybe the Freightliner influence made it better?
VW's DEF system seems pretty solid. At least I've never had an issue with it in
my 2015 Jetta. That reminds me, I have no idea the last time
I was under the impression that GM got it figured out by '82 or so but the
damage was already done.
That said, even if they "figured it out" reliability wise they never did make
as much power as they should have. If a 3l OM617 can make 120hp the 5.7l v8
diesel ought to have made in the
The crappy pics don’t do it justice

So true.
We found that out first hand since my dad bought five diesel GMC pickups that
made up half of his businesses’ fleet. They were tough to keep on the road.
The Toronado, however, was awesome. He kept it four years, put almost 100K
miles on it, and never had an issue.

General Motors diesel cars ruined the diesel car market in America for a
very long time. They did not "get it right" and then did not support what
they built and sold.

Why would I want to disable the system?

I love the looks of these, but I’ve always wondered if there was enogh headroom
in the back for adults.
Interesting color, don’t think I’ve seen one in this color before.

My dad almost bought a ‘79 Eldorado Barritz Diesel but he decided on a’79
Toronado diesel instead. I thought that Eldorado was the living end for an
American made car … as I was driving around my ‘72 220D invoking the ire of all
the staunch UAW men in our little town.
