I miss my 300cd

I miss my 300cd i sold a year ago to by a 98 BMW 323is.

The main thing is I don't have to work on my 98 BMW much, and I don't have much else to do in my spare time I enjoy...

I could always count on repairs and maintenance to the diesel week to week to keep my projects list busy....

Get a wagon to haul stuff. That would justify it.

the economy sux and people are selling 'luxury' items like these cars in favor of newer models, take one off their hands there are a few vintage mb's here locally on craigslist that are forsale for 1-2k. I hate not having a project, hence three cars and a boat.

Wow, plenty of Miami Vice used car specials in the orlando CL. There's a 1981 280ce, 1980 300cd, 1984 300cd, all for around 1k each.

Nice 300sd for $1200, 160k miles, cold A/C. I would look at the 300sd or 280ce.

I would love to find a nice 83/84 300CD, now that I have driven my car for almost 2 years I love the car. Someday I will find a nice one that someone loved and I hope to carry that on...

If you get real bored you can always come work on mine, I will even buy you lunch and a beer... BAHAHAHA

Doc.
