Being a 300ce owner (91),I wanted to buy another coupe, but only older. I wanted to buy the 280CE, but after being advised that this was the worst gas pot ever built byMB, I have decided that I want this body style but in a Diesel. Which I assume is the 123 chassis, right?. Now the confusion begins: I think I want the 300 diesel, were all these turboed?, on ebay I have read where some 300's were 5 cyl. & also 6cyl. what gives?, were only the 5 cyl turboed or just the 6's?. I want a 300CD coupe, were these available both ways?, for longevity I would think one would want to stay away from a turbo, also because of the expense??. I know the 124 frame is better than the 123, but I like looks of the old 300cd. Please someone out there please set me straight!!. I seem to recall one time, from a local guy that the 5 cylinder diesel was the one I want for the long haul. Sorry for the long thrd. Thanks you guys!!
