One has to go.

As my wife and I are retired we no longer need or wish to insure and maintain two cars.
Also after my second total hip replacement rolling around on the floor under a car is no longer fun.
My first love has to go. (no not my wife)

1984 300D turbo.
Lots of miles.
Air cared.
Good body(now licensed as collector)
Starts without throttle, very smooth idle, never smokes.
Over the years everything was replaced when needed.
Drive line replaced, trani to axle bearings.
Radiator, mono valve, fan and clutch, Front seats,
upper and lower support joints, some steering parts.
Needs a front oil seal.
Always garaged. All recites for parts.
If you are close to Vancouver BC come by go for a drive and make an offer.

I saw the car last summer at the GTG in Wash. when we went up to Mt. St. Helens. It is a nice looking SD, and well taken care of.

Feel bad you have to let one go, they are part of the family, I could get rid of one of the kids first.

Hard enough to get a car and all the paper work done in Calif., let along bringing one in from out of state. can`t imagine bringing one in from across the Canadian border

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works

Hmmm....

i'm in Vernon, not too far away.

Do you have any pictures? And what does "many miles" mean?

I assume the oil leak refers to a new front crank seal needed?

Let me know roughly how much you are looking for. PM me if you wish.
