It looks as though the speedometer has beenc hanged (with one with less mileage) the finish on the face doesn't match the other two clusters. and the holes in the console turn me of but otherwise it's a FINE example of a diesel 126 I say buy it! even with the DOT headlamps!

Does kinds look that way. BTW, what kind of person doesn't have the car running when they take that kind of picture? I want to see the tach working, the temp gauge working and 3 bar of oil pressure.

This car is BACK up for sale. I have no affiliation. I found the car on e-bay while feeding my obsession for constantly looking. Looked up the current sellers feedback as a buyer, and saw that he purchased a a car in May '09 from a MB e-bay seller. Copied that item number into google and good 'ol shop forum comes up. By looking at the original ebay sellers feedback, you can see the car was purchased for $4,050. I love the color, too.

I would say mixed highway and city you get about 25mpg (remember, its about 1-2mpg better than the w123) but pure highway, at 55mph, expect 33mpg if your car is optimal. 65,pure highway, expect 30. I pushed 655miles on a tank once and im sure i could have probably made it close to 700

Too bad that rear window is starting to de-laminate. I like the green.... and the poopy brown as it turns out.

My SD is 3 tone silver/rust and ford taurus silver.... Some dumb ass I found to paint my new rust free fenders used taurus silver and a paint brush. I paid for a quart of color matched paint. Oh well... my next SD will be much nicer.
