'92 300D .... w124 or w201
I might be looking for an additional vehicle soon and wanted to do some homework. I've been interested in a w124 chassis car with the 2.5 TurboDiesel.
Is a '92 300D such a car? Where can I find more info on the 300D's... Such as what years were they produced and what engines they came with. Reason I'm interested in this type of car is that I might be looking to find a car to rack miles on and something that is efficient and can run well in the snow with snow tires.

The 92 300D is a W124 with a OM602 engine. The 602 engine in the 201 (baby Benz) chassi was in the late 80s. There is a really cool guide for this somewhere on the web ... I'll dig through my favorites file and see if I saved it ...

Check that out ... it's geared for Euro availability (hence the listing of A- and G-class cars and other fun stuff we don't get here), but the info on production years of the 124 cars is pretty much on target for here: 1987, the OM603; 1990-93, the OM602 and 1995, the OM606. I'm sure someone here can set you straight if I'm wrong ... ![]()

Thanx.... The OM606 I've got is great. So I'd figure getting another diesel might be the way to go.
