Hey all, this is my first post here.

I drive a VW TDI, but I'm getting sick of incompetant dealers. I'm thinking of selling it and using the money to buy an old mercedes and maybe get some goodies for it.

I found a 1980 300SD about an hour's drive away from my home. 120k miles and asking $3500.

Is this a little too old? from what i understand it's a much older bodystyle?

I'm looking for a car that's going to be the most reliable and have the best performance. Obviously coming from a y2k car I'm going to be a bit spoiled.

What is there in the aftermarket for these cars? I'm definately expecting to spoil myself.

So what do you guys think?

Thanks!
