My diesels

[mskulick2]

My situation. Four vehicles in the driveway. Two people to drive them. Doing the math (duh!) indicates something has to be done about this. Insurance is high in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts as are excise taxes, etc. It's more than a little foolish to keep forking money over to the "powers-that-be" just for the luxury of extra cars. I have an '85 300SD with 220K on the clock, everything except the power antenna works. Has four snows on alloy rims. Needs exhaust work, an injector, (I think) and a new home. I could donate it, I guess, but would rather see someone with an interest in an MB diesel have it. This is my daily driver, forty miles a day. When the weather is warmer, it routinely gets 450 to as much as just over 500mi. per tankful. I have changed the oil religiously every 3000 mi. Yes, the car does need some work. It began it's life in Calif, for the first hundred thou or so miles. A gentleman who lives on Capital Hill (D.C.) owned it until 190,000mi. I bought it from him several years ago when I lived in MD. We moved here in 2001. Up till then, it was garaged. We have no garage, so driving it here (Mass coast) has resulted in the beginnings of some rust. How do you market a car that has that kind of mileage(220K) on it? I don't want to E-bay anything as I would not wish to have misrepresented it's condition. Kind of a subjective thing, wouldn't you say? Ads in the newspapers are pricey, I do not have the required ten posts in the Forums to list in the "Cars or Classifieds" section of the MercedesShop site, so
I'm listing here in the hopes an interested party will contact me, maybe we can help each other. Oh, yes, the other car. I will make another post. It's a wagon.
If anyone has an interest, please e-mail.
Thanks.
