this is a wonderful forum for learning about the care & feeding of your new w123/om617.
don't be afraid to ask questions, but be sure your search-fu is strong.

Wow! you guys should lay off new members and welcome them, not tear them a new one as soon as they post up their new car. So what if the OP's ride is not perfect in your eyes, it might be in his. The last thing the world needs is more cynics.
I was thinking about the monthly cost of my 300td and it is about 225$ in fuel washer fluid, and half an oil change. I average 12-15 hundred miles/month. Not bad for pushing around a two ton car with 1970's aerodynamics.

The OP is not a new member, been here since 09, just doesn`t post a lot.
Look at his list of MB`s, not new to them. just new to the a MB Diesel.

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

You clearly hit a nerve.

Yet anyone who espouses the BS you have here, I'll call on the carpet, every time.

If it descends into name calling, so be it.

Got your attention, right?

I bought two cars in Cleveland with a similar story. Nice cars can turn up in surprising places. Enjoy it.
