Apparently I was wrong about the degree of expertise in this group or at least the willingness to help. I will refrain from any further comment .................next subject ahkay

Being snarky won't get you far here either. People did provide you with information, take it or leave it. In the good old days, we looked up values in books, called a bank or credit union, or looked at classified to do the same. You come here, wanting people to do all your ground work for you, and then get all in a huff when people are less than eager to do so.

That said, I'd be very interested in the 190D manual!!!!

Corrected

nice collection! most of the low mileage stuff will bring big $$ even now.
the diesel merc market has sagged but there will always be interest in super low mileage, rust free cars.

Joel, is that the reason you have six? Just curious is all.

Seen several for sale, but passed up as wasn't ready then to go modern.

PS how much for the 87 Black/Palomino 234K?

Most of us know what a TDT is, but you have listed five with dtd, I would have the same question.

Rich, better way to say it than I, nicely done.

thanks Hogweed really don't want to break the collection up but not getting any younger.
appreciate your comments as I think the same just trying to get experienced opinions

Adriel...my bad should have said tdt thanksfor the correction

Adriel I have 6 and 2 parts car tdt because of the limited production ,I enjoyed driving them,and felt they would go up in value in the long term. i have had them for a long time and kept them in excellent condition as ENGATWORK knows

I was not aware there was a tdt designation. Most of us just guess you are saying station wagon with turbo. I believe that is just a 300TD.

crazy4diesel....not in a huff and not asking anyone to do work for me......there is a wealth of knowledge on this list and a lot of very helpful people. I have simply asked for opinions on these cars as to value as they really don't fit the books. My statement was simply one of disappointment that the response was predominantly pic requests which isn't necessary for an opinion of range. I have listed the pertinent specs and established credibility for my comment of pristine condition.
If that's too much to ask then I misjudged the group which I don't think is the case.

tyl604 you are right thanks

jim I hope you and your family are well
