Sold my 300D tonight. Got a good price for it, but I was still sad to see it go. I'm getting a diesel truck instead.

In any of my posts, it is safe to assume
that I'm talking about this car.

Did you find your buyer from Craigslist? (Dallas or E. Texas)

I love the smell of diesel smoke in my hair

Hmm my SD is in better shape as far as the original MB paint and engine. But if you sold it for $2,600 then i shouldnt have to worry about asking $2K for my SD would i?

What was the condition of your interior. Mine is pretty beat so i have custom cloth seat covers to cover it all up

No offense, but that is truly amazing! Was the interior perfect? Front end rebuilt? AC working?

**edit**

Even more amazing being around here. Cars that look much better than that sell for half that price all the time. I'm still floored, but happy for you.....

Yeah, I listed it for $3000 not expecting any serious interest, but hey, it sold for a good amount. Interior was fair, the MB Tex was a bit worn, but the seats had been repadded by a PO. PO also had about $700 in engine work done to it three years ago. It had a vacuum leak somewhere causing a no shutdown/no locks/hard brakes condition, really really bad paint(rubbed off on your hands if you touched it), and the tires were maybe 30%. I owned it since Febuary and put a grand total of 36 miles on it(no plates/insurance = no on-road driving). I would tell you how much I paid for it, but the new owner might get get angry- I gave him a link to this forum so he can learn as much as I did.
