I am not familiar with that model.... but that instrument cluster doesn't look right. Possibly from a BMW?

edit: If you look at the picture with the door open.. you can see it has the correct benz cluster. That BMW cluster pic looks to be put up by mistake.

The instrument cluster is definitely not right. For one, I'd love a diesel which redlined at 6500 rpm!

Yup, that's no W201 instrument cluster. The instruments should be in 3 round dial sets, with the tach on the right side. It never had a a door ajar warning schematic and the warning lights are like the W124, all under the dials.

and......when did diesels start using unleaded fuel???

Correct! I think it is a cluster from a Honda Accord. I emailed the seller to see if it a legit mistake, or if he is trying to pull one over our heads...

That dash picture if from a Honda Accord.

Here is the reply from the seller:

Thank you. I just did. The image was the instrument panel from my Honda that was next to the Merz pictures. Unfortunately I couldn't add the correct image but I did explain the problem in the description. Sorry about that.
