1987 300D Turbo...30 Miles North of Pittsburgh...
Hello,
I'm interested in selling to the best offer.... I've been driving this as a daily driver for about 10 years, but now I'm having a problem with it, and frankly, not really interested in investing any money in it. Read this posting for a bit of information on the trouble... Help! 1987 300D Turbo sputters, but no Start... Over the last 4 years I have replaced the: Vacuum pump to the updated version. New MB Glow Plug Timer and Glow Plugs New MB Rear Muffler. (just last May...more than $300.00) New (Rebuilt) Bosch Alternator (last summer) Rebuilt Rear Calipers (last summer) New MB Brake Lines from the Front and to the New Brake Hoses (last summer) There is some rust on the car. I've welded a patch in the floor under the Driver's seat and have also riveted another piece nearby. But the front fenders and rear quarters aren't too bad. Driver's door has some repairable rust. The dash has a "cover" on it and the seats are showing no holes, but remember, this car is now nearly 25 years old. I haven't really delved into the repair of this car because I have six other cars in the "fleet". As far as the problem, it's getting fuel, air, the camshaft turns, and the glow plugs are working. It cranks and cranks, and sound like it wants to start, but it will not run. It has a #14 head and I have not bothered to do a compression check. There is no black soot in the coolant overflow tank and no coolant in the oil. I believe that it has somehow jumped time, or the Injection Pump has sheared the front bolt or woodruff key. There could be a problem with the lift pump, but after cracking the injector lines, it seems like it's getting fuel. This may make someone a decent parts car, or it may be able to be repaired by the right mechanic. I have taken some photos that I can post, but PM me if you're interested... Best regards, The Tenor Man

I'd love to have this and think the price is fair, but I'm coming up empty trying to find a way to transport it here economically.

How many miles are on it, and did you ever completely replace the filters? Also is the car white or a gray color?
