Re: [MBZ] 1991 350SDL Market Value?
Here's one on eBay. http://tinyurl.com/2lenky I once saw one on a car lot locally. Drove it. It had LESS power than my '83 SD so I'm sure the engine wasn't in top shape. They wanted around $8k for it and it had been on the market for 8 months. I told them it was worth $2k with a most likely bad engine. If they could show me that the engine was a factory replacement, it could be worth $8-12k. Drove by a week or 2 later, and they jacked the price up to $12,995. I think it sold a week or so later.

I think that is probably the ultimate 603 engine -- the new rods, improved head, more torque, etc. It ought to be good for a LONG time.

Hi again. My friend in Jacksonville, Florida has her 1991 350SDL she's considering getting rid of.
