I don't knowe what to do?

I have a 1985 Mercedes 300D Turbo diesel, that has very little miles and I don't know if I should try selling the car or keep it. I don't want to sell it, but if I ever do later, it will have more miles on, so what do you all think I should do? It has 111,111 miles on it now.

Such a dilemna! The car has at least 200K-300k more miles left in its life! With that in mind, I'm not sure what is causing you to wonder.

Too little info to opine. Suggest you hang on to it. However, if you are unwilling to do the maintence, sell it, you should get a good price.

I'll trade you for an 85 300d with alot of miles and you wont have to worry any more about miles or value.
But seriously, If you take care of it, it will last a long time.

DsLvr4VR, it certainly isnt your only grease car, is it? If so, forget about it, close this thread and DRIVE ON. Might be foolish not to have one in the mix about now.

fwiw I bought a 95 with 220k on the clock and plan on , at the least, doubling that number without pulling the motor. 111k aint schitz.
