If any of you could help me find a diesel MB in or around TX I'd be very happy. I'm looking for a '85 or newer 300D,300CD, or 190D (basically anything but the 240D and the SD. I'd like a manual transmission, under 200,000 mi, under $7000 bucks. color makes no difference (except red or maroon) If any of you find somthing for me I'll send you a six pack of Real Ale Thanks!

my email is babinson@yahoo.com.

There were no manual transmission 300D's or 300CD's made. It would be very difficult to find a 190D that has a manual transmission. For under $7000 may I suggest a MINT 1985 300D or 300CD, a 1987 300D or 1987 300SDL. The 1987 models had 6 cylinder diesel engines, are more modern and drive alot nicer. The 1985 is a true classic, and is pretty much bullet proof.

Well I'm happy to hear that. I just located an 85 D locally. Thanks to everyone for all the emails.
