It's a good feeling driving a $500 Mercedes-Benz and it only took another 150 or so to.get running. I really wonder what my old 240d drove like in 1983. I live on a dirt road and here is not one rattle in that old car. My wife has a Sequoia and it has a few. It's great to.have a old Benz

Hmmm I really need to turn off the autocorrect in my Droid. Makes me sound more redneck than I really am.

Considering its age. It has a remarkably short list of issues. Mainly the vacuum system is ripped out and I need to shift it like a manual. But it is a fun car to drive. Slow as molasses in winter til @20 mph. It's a great buy since my Ford F250 gets 11-12 and Helga gets 23-27. I am learning that Der Deutsche Arbeiteter really perfected the W123 but there are times I through up my hands and shout Wtf were thru thinking? I am sold on Mercedes-Benz, and we are looking for an older G series for my wife. And I have my eye on another W123 300TD for my self and my 13 year will get Helga for High School
