Great deal! Maybe you can flip it for a higher profit to a Greaser!

The thought has crossed my mind to put my old engine in there and sell it. I also like the idea of driving a numbers matching 50yr old benz when I retire.

Thats cheap!
I missed a 84 300TD for $650 with like 190K. He said I was number 6 to "see it". I said I'll send you $650 now. He let the 1st guy see it and it sold. Nice trailer too.

Toms trailer not mine. Same day there was a CL post for $650 for one in much better condition with transmission issues. Oh well I am going to do compression test this weekend and make sure I haven't wasted my money.

An excellent recovery! Caint be alot involved with DIY replacement of blown turbo seals.
Really cool thing about $250 - $500 MB is with elbow grease and know-how, it's service to the community reselling em and keepin em on the road. It's like when 240D's bottomed out in market value a few years ago and folks couldnt give em away. Now skyrocketed up to thousands of dollars in reasonable decent (restored or original) condition. Not one nickle you throw into that 300D will be lost assuming you turn yer own wrench, says me.

I picked up a 240D for $300.00 five years ago, and it's been my daily driver ever since. I've put 60,000 miles on it. I love these cars.

About like our trailer... except try loading a SDL on and off the thing. Exhaust bolts and things drag alarmingly every time, we have to line up JUST right with all the banks and hills and ditches and things so as not to scoop with the back bumper but still add some clearance (By reducing the angle of descent) for the exhaust (and the body, for that matter).
Last time we misjudged it just a bit. Back bumper was just about ready to scoop the bank behind the car and the front wheels were on the first or second rungs of the ramps. Ended up just pulling the trailer out from under it... desperate times, desperate measures

Too bad you already spent the $250. Look what you could've gotten.
