I bought this on ebay after having a few (too many) drinks. Was located in Mississippi and I towed it back. Gutted the interior (looked like a meth lab had been in there). Needs a new injection pump or the existing one rebuilt. I am looking for this to go to a good home to someone who can get it running again and usable. NOT THE SCRAPPER. I only paid $800 for it and have about another $1200 into it. Just looking to get some of my money back and hopefully find a good home. Has a om314 engine with a 5 speed transmission. This is your chance to own a dually mercedes! Will need to be towed.

Board member helped me. He has a mog and we used the trailer for it. Wheel base is 16' IIRC.

So you finally decided to part with it Rolf?

OM314 has only 80hp and 173lbft?

Kid #3 on the way we are getting a 200X Eurovan MV Weekender. Neither of us can stand the idea of a "minivan" (Did you know the new VW Routan is just a dodge caravan, how crappy is that). Sleeps 4 and has a VR6 engine.

Having the Eurovan makes getting rid of the nightmare a no brainer. I have an interested party but they are in CT. I may just save myself time and headache and have someone pick it up.
