Rolf,
What hole is it missing? The dash in my 83 is cracked bad, the 78 is not
cracked at all. I don't think the texture really matters to me. I thought
they looked the same.
Thanks, Mike

I think a dash swap is straightforward, but quite the

Oops Didn't intentionally omit the 123 TD. But Andrew, you are a
bit prejudiced huh? (nothing wrong with that!) I always, and still
want a 240D 3.0 turbo or 240D 2.5 turbo with a 5 speed. The 123 and
124 both have strengths and weaknesses. Suspension is nicer in the

Very true - the ML does things the 124s won't. Too bad it's not Diesel!
However, my Dad did carry firewood, hay, gravel, cows, pigs, chickens,

My vote is for the 1980 300SD. Mine has around 415,000 miles and still is

Local ads for cars in similar condition. Insurance companies use classified
ads for older cars and will lowball you with prices from every junk car in
your area. Show them ads for similar cars and prove your point with photos
