5k is a lot for a diesel! Also the 603/606 engines seem to love to rev. But these days some gas cars are in the 7k-9k range.
F1 cars I think are up to 18k-19k rpm!

The 300 has the same revving nature as the turbocharged 606. Factory rated redline is 5000 - 5300 rpm. Getting to those engine speeds, one would have to remain in either "3" or "2" since the transmission will not shift up that high. Foot to floor, I get shifts reaching nearly 5K, but not quite. With "2" engaged, I can get up to 5.4K. Click below for a demonstration of the 3.0 603: http://www.ejzcars.com/5450.mov ....I sound like a freak when I say "TEMPERATURE'S RISING!". Please ignore me. I was just noticing the coolant temp starting to rise a little higher than I would care. I had a bad auxiliary fan, so I switched on the defroster. LOL, no problems with the bottom end, Hattie. This tape was taken a long time ago. Ask the Finnish gurus who run theirs up to 6K each and every day(both turbo'ed 603's and 606's).

Crappy interior
I don't see how this vehicle, with supposedly 103k on the clock, can have such a crappy interior. I posted some comparison shots of mine, same color, at 134k mi. The first two are of the eBay vehicle.

Yours looks very nice.
Hopefully I will cause no offense, but I can't see a red MB-Tex or leather interior without thinking, "Pimpin'!" |

Yours looks a lot nicer - I agree that interior is no way 103,000 miles.. the seat just looks too all-over worn.
No offence but, red would not be my first choice either although I guess it's quite different to the usual!

Wow

I just have to say "wow" to your interior. That is clean. I don't care if it is red, if I saw that in a car I was looking at buying I'd start to drool.
