Wow! That is a huge upward leap in status. It is pretty much unheard of.
Did you hear about the Lawyer who wanted to improve his image, so he
became a used car salesman?

You made partner? Congrats. How long before they put your name on the door?

That is exactly what I want to do. But, she loves her expedition. Plus, we

Boy, Joe, you sure have a sharp eye.
Where exactly do you see the pitting?

Welll, I may have imagined that. I was lookin at the dull grey

Fellow Listers,
A customer of mine is seeking a car to use for his traveling sales job. He

else or at least a far nicer example. Does anyone have
Let me clarify, the fellow is looking at w126 and w124 cars. He does not
want a w123 or anything earlier. Anything newer would likely be out of his
price range. Personally, I think a 300D 2.5 would be the ideal car. Now, to
only find a nice, low mile example.

A 124 300D 2.5 or E300D (90 thru '95) in good shape could be ideal. The
124 is a LOVELY car to drive on the highway and 30+ mpg of the 602.96 or
606.91 engines
of an S-class, I'd go with the 300SDL. I
would not want an OM617, he'd be doing valve adjustments every few
months...

For the kind of use that's being contemplated I wouldn't touch this
one w/o a very thorough PPI, looking very carefully for any signs of
