It's so nice to have turn key examples in the garage that can be repaired reasonably as things pop up... not a never-ending journey that makes zero financial sense when you purchase a project. MB diesels aren't worth enough to justify it.
You could sell all three benzes and have enough coin to buy one excellent example to preserve and enjoy. Although it would be tough to preserve if your wife is driving it to work, roasting away in the Florida sun.
The 300D is red... Red is the first to start fading in the sunlight. The rustoleum job will only last a year or two as well. That's just the way it is.
I would not put my wife in a 240D stick, especially with all the nut job Florida drivers. She needs enough power to get out of the way.
