break in the new year by hitting 11k on this 4-speed. you'll have to pay more than a dollar per mile, but it's time we live large, right?

2006, baby.

That's one of those vehicles that a bidder "must buy".

I bet you see it easily go north of $11K.

All these low miles 240D on fleaBay in 2005. . . Few very low miles 300TD with turbos, in comparison, it seems.

Too many............way too many for even half of them to be legitimate.

Perhaps you have it right, Bonehead.

I just have trouble imagining someone paying good money for a new car (in the 80s) and simply parking it for several decades. It makes little sense to me. These were not pesky and demanding Ferraris, these were pedestrian cars built and bought to be driven and used. Makes no sense to me.
