Just in case Kaleb doesn't have one, I have been persuaded to sell one of my 83 300D's. I just bought an 83 300TD so one of the D's has to go. It's in Florida so I don't know if you are interested.

On Thu, Feb 11, 2010 at 5:30 AM, David Hemsley wrote: > > I love diesels. > The '87 is kind of an inflection point between old and new Mercedes diesel car technology. It's old enough to have a purely mechanical engine control system (before any of you pedants get after me, yes, I know about the EDS, but since the engine can run just fine without it I don't think it counts) , but new enough to have plenty of power, modern comforts and conveniences, and handling nearly as good as modern sports sedans. There never were many of these in the USA to begin with (only imported in '87), and they definitely aren't making any more like that. I would say even a shabby example is worth fixing up. That being said, the one in the CL ad will almost certainly need a ton of work to run and drive as well as your '95, from your description of the money you've put into the latter car. Figure on a full suspension rebuild ($2,000 at an independent mechanic, more at the dealer); A/C repair (anywhere from $1,000 for a new compressor and condensor, to $3,000 for the evaporator); all vacuum lines replaced and transmission vacuum control adjusted ($300 or so). Check carefully for any signs of recent cooling system trouble, coolant in the oil, or oil in the coolant, which could indicate a cracked head ($10,000+ to fix)---if you don't see anything like that, then you are probably safe from the OM603 engine's infamous propensity to blow heads. (If you really want to be sure you can look at the head casting number since the head has been revised many times by Mercedes in the past 20 years, but I would argue that even the very first version of the head is OK if it has lasted 300K mi. already without cracking.) I would never consider selling my '87---they are wonderful cars when sorted out and perhaps even a future collectible due to their rarity.

Re: [MBZ] 1987 Diesel for sale
Remember my wife - pick of the litter rule? The only way to distract her from the E320 would be to pull a late model Volvo Cross Country in the driveway. My E320 has already had the wiring harness done, evap and a new tranny. All but tranny by Benz dealer, under the first owner. This is a car with a maint receipt every 2K with over $50K in maint over the first 12 years. It is literaly perfect. Sorry - not selling this one ever.

Re: [MBZ] 1987 Diesel for sale
For the price, you might not get hurt too much. At 300k, it needs new nozzles, a new timing chain and new chain guides. While you are doing that, may was well put on a new tensioner and water pump/thermostat. If they have evidence the PO replaced those within 100k or so, that is a plus. If the chain stretch measures ok, it most likely will need the new guides within 50k, or they might break the chain, and that breaks the cam and the cam bearings. If you do the work yourself, you are looking at maybe $500 for parts. Check the jack points for rust. Check the shocks. If they are not Bilsteins, deduct $500-$750. have an alignment shop check the suspension. http://stlouis.craigslist.org/ctd/1591456798.html Okay - I'll bite. I have never had a diesel and want you guys to tell me if this would be a good one to own. My current benz is a 1995 E320 and I have been pretty impressed with the design and performance. What do I need to be aware of on this car? How about auto tranny? Do they last longer on a understressed diesel then on my way to powerflow gasser? I'm thinking about looking at the car tommorow what should I look for?
