Well the guy put it up on CL, now asking $3800. Still seems high to me.
It's been sitting for months on a corner with a For Sale sign in the window.

if you had the 17 head then its been replaced, that is an upgraded head,
not the original.

Both are bad. That's why the best MB diesel to buy is the 90-93 300D 2.5. Its

Well I had said that I was not buying any cars this year but I'd seen this W124
sitting in a yard with a for sale sign for a while. I had some time this
morning so I stopped to look at it. It's an '87 300D with (if the odo is
correct) about 173K miles.
Nobody was around so I noted the phone

My 87 300D has the 17 head, with 190,000 on the motor and 390,000 on the
chassis. Runs great, average around 25 mpg driving fast, but I have seen 30
mpg driving it at the speed limit. Paid $1050.00 for it 3 years ago but had
to repair where it was rear ended prior to my owning it. I had offered
him to $2500 if I'd
actually had the money to wave at him...

#14 was the original bad head. #17 and up was improved, so you have
lucked out with someone handling the repair before you bought it.

Sorry, my mistake. I meant the 14 head. As near as I can tell none
that i had ever had the head off.

The iron heads crack between the valves and from each valve to the
prechamber hole. A crack under 10mm in length is permissible. I
have seen iron heads with as many as 15 cracks. Even though no crack
was beyond 10mm, several were near 10 mm, so I chose to replace the
head anyway.

Not the same engine though, the '87 has a 6cyl. I understand they're a bit more

'87 had the 147hp OM603
