Re: [MBZ] Andrew needs to hop on this

Yes I commuted on I95 in my 240D for several years. I described it as,my middle lane car as it would do 80mph the whole 60 miles each way. When I got my 90 300D 2.5t I used left lane @ 85+ mph. I like to joke about my 240D's but wish I had another one right now. Dwight Giles Jr 1982 300CD 2005

I was watching that.  Same as my 95 with 104kmi, though I think mine needs new wiring.  That's about what they go for in decent shape from what I have seen, $7-9k depending on year and condition.  Probably a reasonable price, not like to decline a lot over the next few years if you keep them up
