Re: [MBZ] Leather Likelihood

2007-05-22 Thread Jim Cathey

someone told me recently, that the fuel mileage of a 2.5 manual is not
appreciably different than that of a 2.2 manual?


I believe this myself.  If we can ever get our 190D manual 2.5 deployed
we'll have some more numbers.  But IIRC it's 35-42, depending on 
conditions.

I see what you're saying. I kinda realized that after i had sent him my
email with a bunch of questions. I realized that, hey, even if the engine is
bad, I get a replacement and still am not that bad off. And I've gotten the
2.2 five speed I'm seeking.

And thanks, Clay for the link to the decent looking 190D. I am pretty
insistend on a manny though. I do wonder how accurate it is, however, what
someone told me recently, that the fuel mileage of a 2.5 manual is not
appreciably different than that of a 2.2 manual?

Yep that's Leather Brian.

My first 240 D had Leather Interior, No Sun Roof, No Power Windows, No Power
Pass. Mirror, And an Auto Tranny.

Powder Blue Exterior and Dark Blue Interior.
I talked to the Original Owner after I bought it. And asked why none of 
the Power

Eqpt. He said he rather have the Leather than all the junk.

I realize it's not very common. Just wondering.

I'm attaching a photo.
