Count me in for one. May be selling it soon though. No time to work on anything anymore. Bought an 05 E320 CDI, and may be thinning the herd a bit more. Also have the OEM MB Hard Shell rooftop carrier that would go with it if sold.

got one! Clock says 200k, but it was rolled back for sure so we believe it is about 300k. Needed a new engine (thanks to a forum member!) and it's in there, running strong, came from an '86 sedan and has the kkk turbocharger unit. some water leaks from the passenger side sunroof drain, but runs beautifully, gets about 29 mpg on the highway, accelerates strongly. Starts a little rough, though. Black w/palomino interior. My wife's daily driver. She's waiting for a Mazda 6 diesel. With any luck I'll get the wagon then. My w123 coupe runs wonderfully but is rusting...Massachusetts salty roads, aaarrrgghhhh!!!

Mine has 160,000 miles on it. Original everything, #14 head hopefully will hold on for a little longer. Runs beautifully except for mystery overheating issue going up long extended grades. Head gasket????

Um, I have one, but cannot figure out what number we are on. Me thinks 41, but not sure. White exterior, blue interior (which I was hesitant about initially but has really grown on me), and 190,000 mi on a #14.

Swogee has one as well, and I don't think I saw his name listed. Speaking of whom, 87bielenberg should read this thread if you haven't already:

My 1987 300TD wagon was sold and my 2003 W210 E320 wagon was totaled (sheds tear).
