The engine looks ok, but it does appear to sag a bit in back - so some SLS work will be needed. Haven't seen it start or drive - but he says all the windows and door locks work... The Dt is asking $8k The TD is asking $4k, but I think that is negotiable..... thanks for the response! Tom you are killin me! The 81 300D is out, and it is a NON-turbo!

That Dallas one is actually in Fort Worth. I looked at a beautiful white 300TD at that same place about 7 or 8 years ago. Really perfect car, had about 100k on it. They wanted $5500 for it, which sounded too high at the time, so, like a dumbass, I didn't buy it. Some time later, I enquired about it, and was told that the guy who bought it, wrecked it shortly thereafter. I would bet money that this is the same car. I remember the very distinctive pinstriping on it.

congrats... read my pm. Tell us all about her; what's her story?
Start a new thread with the two cars together. A perfect pair: Orient red 240 stick and a China Blue turbo wagon.

A wife's thoughts... ~ I am now one of you CRAZY obsessed mercedes people :)
Hi y'all....
This ride all started with my husband buying his 240D manual....I thought it was loud...stinky...but I did feel like a movie star in such a beautiful, classy car. And our son, 15 months, LOVES this car!!!!!!!! I saw how much my husband fell in love with his car. He is always out fixing it, tweaking things to make it perfect, even washing it inside and out - a lot! And I bugged him so much for being addicted to his "online friends" as I call y'all. Sometimes he spends more time in an evening with y'all, than me! ha! ha! A few times I even got a little jealous. I soon realized my 1989 Jeep cherokee (YUK) was completely neglected...and harder to fix and ended up in the shop a lot (hate that car).... BUT I GOT SMART! I thought, "...hey, if I had a mercedes too, then it would be well maintained for me...." So, we sold the Jeep (no soul) , and he bought me a 1982 300TD wagon this weekend - my little (well, not so little) "china doll." I am already falling in love with her...and I actually look forward to spending time with my husband on the forum learning and helping him in the garage with her! You guys are the greatest! I am now converted .....and I think you guys ROCK! especially the guy from Kansas that tipped off my hubby on my girl! I tell my husband I am a mercedes snob now - I just can't drive anything else! Wifey

Yes, I feel for the commoners and their boring cars. How does the other half live?

Why am I killing you? ....oh I bet because I quoted my book. Actually the reason I quoted the book is that because the book could be wrong or more likely in the case of Mercedes, there is a good chance that they actually DID build some non turbo CDs early on even if most might have been with turbo.

Nah., you were killin me cause I had moved on from the 300D (N/A). I had lost interest due to a 300Dt and a 300TD that were also available.
Plus I had already realized you were absolutely right that this 300D was not a turbo - like I said the seller had conveniently cropped out the right side of the trunk in the photo. I had assumed a turbo, even though there was none. But, what can I say - I am a research scientist, so I can only admire and appreciate your dogged determination and research!
