Too good to be true :(
A few weeks ago I was told there was a local guy that had a few cars up in mississippi on a couple acres of land. One of the cars was a 1984 mercedes 240D with a 5 speed??? He said it was brought back from germany years ago. Well he needs to get rid of all these cars and was selling them cheap, I thought I hit the jackpot untill today, turns out the car is a euro 1984 190D. I may be able to get the car for a couple hundred bucks and was told its in pretty good shape. Is anything interchangable with my car? Especially the transmission?

If it is a 190, then the trans is no good for a 617. Starter is on the wrong side.

If it's in good shape, might be a good time to start a benz collection
 is the 190 a W124 or 201?

Well the automatic is not the strongest. You seem to have got around that though.
A few hundred if the car is in fair to better condition sounds nice. If you decide you do not want it mention it on this site. You might get a response or two.

If I told you folks about the pristine rim\spare tire in the non-running car I saw this afternoon......you would ask, why I passed it by.
Something to follow-up on several weeks from now.

I got a call back from the owner of this car, I would have bought it if I had the money but I didn't. He does not want to see the car get crushed and needs it off his property so I guess I will be getting the car for next to nothing now
it will be something I can mess with in my spare time. How are the 190's as far as reliability? Are they on par with a 240 or 300D? It has been sitting for about 2 years and it was his daily driver before he parked it, since then the radio was taken out and so were the headlights by a family member and has no idea why they did that lol. The manual says this engine has a whopping 72hp!! I guess it can't be that bad with a 5 speed or at least not as slow as my old 240D with an auto.

Running well it is a lot better fuel usage wise than your 240d ever was. Actually the milage champ of their line over the years until the smart car.
