this nice little rust free 82 240D with 250K was at the local dealer auction today, power windows and roof, I drove it and it drove really nice, plus it had manual climate controls!!!!! but the owner started the bidding at $1000 so I was out, It didnt sell. Don't get me wrong,. I would pay $1000 all day long for it, but the owner wasnt going to let it go for that.

With the high number of old Deisel MB's in Portland, I cant believe the lack of forum members we have here, I thought for sure there would have been way more people seeing their cars posted.

Found 3 diesel W126's 1 family

I was in S.E Portland the other day working and just a couple houses down from where I was, where 3 Diesel 126's so I had to grab a few pix.
Later that day I met the gentleman who owned them, he was wonderful to talk with and we gabbed it up for about 15 min. he had 2 SD's and 1 SDL, the SDL was his and the other 2 where his wife and daughters' cars
he said he had been a VW fanatic for years till he Learned about the Mercs.
He said he fell in love instantly and the rest is history,he said that was 15 years ago, he said his only regret was that he didn't learn of them sooner, Typical Mercedes owner comment, no matter which one you drive.

I've only been up in the PDX area for a few days over a week but mine is a bamboo colored 1978 300D in case you see it around. I live in Ridgefield though so I'm not tooling around Portland much yet while I still get the lay of the land.
In the driveway next to my car is a 1973 220D (owned by forum member Shotwell.) Just a block over is a beautiful green W123 wagon. Not sure if it's a diesel or a gasser. We have every intention of walking over and introducing ourselves. Oh yeah, there's a 190D just down the street too.
