Folks,

When I got the '85 300 D seen in my sig photo.....it had been sitting for quite some time, before the PO decided to donate it to charity.....it had a recent oil change and service tag in the windshield....I drove it home, a bit over 200 miles......had to purchase windshield wiper blades en route.....then proceeded in changing all of the fluids and filters in the car....still have to do the power steering fluid/filter......the car was advertised as having "new" tires....and they were, still had all of the mold marks and color within the tread.....and they vibrated terribly, took them to a Goodyear store....the Goodyear guy had a look.....the tires were flat spotted....he was gonna make them good, until he read the tire codes.....they were new in March of 2000......also from carfax, car did not move much during that 5 to 6 year period......since I have owned this one, I have only done some minor maintenance....the most expensive item has been a used Auxiliary Fan.....

This car has been getting better with use.....

SB
