What a nice car, and also one of my favorite colors.

This reminds me of my latest find:
Getting my newly acquired 350SDL back on the road
99,700 miles and all service and repair records since new. Yes yours is much cleaner than mine, but mine will clean up very nicely to be on the same level as yours. I am happy with the $ I spent on it, which is probably more than you paid for yours. I don't know if you want to share with us what you paid, because that may make more folks upset with you .

Michelin tires only lasted 33k, seems about right.

The car had a front end rebuild prior to the new tires so I would guess uneven wear. The current tires have 20k on them and look near new

Also have an 84 300 SD, silver, with (now) 131, 000 miles, 121,000 when I bought it for $3,000.

Paint not as clean as yours, silver is fading on hood in spots, and interior not as pristine, but man, what a great road car.

Beautiful, but PLEASE don't expose the car to winter at this point in its life and let it get salty...such a nice example deserves to be kept nice! Enjoy it, keep it a long time (meaning decades) and you will never regret it but do be religious about maintenance and keep it clean and tidy. I wish someday to find an SD like this, we have a couple 240D's close to this condition but not a big body this nice.

That's a really sweet looking car, Tyler. I hope some day I can find one as nice as that. I'm interested what you paid for her.
