(Had to correct the post. It is an 79 model not an 84)


I found a really decent white 79 300CD for sale locally. It was an Arizona car and looks pretty good. It has 167K on it. The old lady who has it just had it worked on. It wouldn't shut off so she had that fixed, The valves adjusted. Glowplugs fixed, Oil changed in the engine and trans. She is asking $2200 which seems like a good price. My question is will i be dissapointed after driving the 2 300SD's i had getting into a non-turbo Benz especially out here in Montana? The wife will be using it for a work car and has to go through a 6000' pass every day. We live at 4900' Is it going to be a gutless wonder going up the grade??
