New member - 1990 300D

[nrl073]

I thought I would introduce myself and my first Mercedes.

I recently bought this 1990 300D. It has 161,000 miles and was a one owner (my boss). His wife drove it for the most part. He bought her a 2006 E320 CDI last year and kept the 300D instead of trading it, as it was worth very little.

It has seen very little use for the past few months, and so he decided to sell it. He had all the services performed on time and all the records validate it. It drives nicer than my Honda Accord and has replaced it as my daily driver for the 70 mile commute.

The bad news is that the paint is pretty faded on the roof and hood, there are two minor dents in the back, the AC is cool, but not cold, and it leaks diesel around the braided lines between injectors. I plan on fixing the latter two.

I have only had it for about a month, and cannot express how much I love this car. This is a great forum too which I am happy to be a new member of.
