Nah, it had 378000 on it, the engine was shot, the tranny only had two gears, the windows were frozen in place, the windscreen seals were completely dry-rotted and it had a family of meerkats living in the interior. There, don't you feel better now that you didn't fall for the fake mileage game.

You REALLY didn't want the 220D. Acceleration described as "glacial" is bragging. I used to turn the A/C on mine and use it as a parking brake.

My first Benz was a '73 220D. I drove that puppy for 8 years and passed it onto my son who drove it for two more until someone decided they wanted to park an Acura in the trunk. Dang thing wouldn't die, wouldn't really live either.
