Another 300SD question
Hello,
it seems I have found what I'm looking for. It's an 84 300SD. Looks good on the outside. Could use paint. The interior has a few blemishes, but everything works. It shifts and runs well. Pulls strong without smoke. Tires are allright, brakes etc. everything nice. It has all of 375000 miles on it. The owner wants 1500. Do you think it's a wise investment? Given that the car won't be driven hard, or all the time, as I have my porsche for that. Just a daily driver get to work type car. Work is 9 miles each way. Thanks in advance, Christoph |

I have an 84 300SD with 145K on it. I have freinds who's SD's are approaching 350K. 375K is a lot of miles, but the 300SD of the mid 80's is one of the best MB's ever produced. Solid and reliable, the engines pretty much bomb proof. Don't know if I would plunk down $1500 clams, but then again if it has been well maintained it may go another 100K or more.

I bought a 84 300SD 4 months ago for $1200 with 245,000 miles on it and I am very happy with it. Things I would check, as my car just started having problems is the heating and A/C make sure they run good and Hot or good and Cold, look at the suspension or have it checked and the brakes. All of the above can get really pricey.

If you decide to not purchase it, where is it located if you don't mind my asking? My dad is speaking of selling my mom's or his and I could see this being an alright car for one of them.
Thanks David
