Find of a lifetime!
 

HI,
This is my first posting. I just purchased a 1987 300TD Wagon from the original owner - with just 36000 garage kept original miles! I look forward to years of ownership. I've looked through the forums and it seems like it will be very helpful and I hope to be able to contribute also. :)

good luck, great find

You probably already know this, but just in case......make sure the trap oxidizer has been removed from the car.
That is a really good find! Congratulations!

Wow! That is a magnificent find! Not only a diesel, but LOW MILES and ONE OWNER.

How I would love to find a 1984-85 500SEL in that condition/mileage. :)

Enjoy!!

I can't help myself.....what did you pay for it?

how about a picture???

Yes, inquiring minds want to know. :D

$4k

Congrats and Welcome!

You're a thief...
 

:eek:

...and we're jealous :D .

Post some photos and welcome to the club,

Kevin

P.S. - start learning the car by examining your rubber parts first - age is your enemy right now, not use/abuse

Sweet!

I have a customer with a burgundy one.

He has over 400,000 miles on it and it looks and runs brand new.
Unbelievable till you see it.

$4k? That's a steal. Give us photos if you can.

Finally got a picture on my profile. I still have to detail and wax - the previous owner was 96 and not in good health. The only problem I have is that the windows seem to have hard waterspots on them - any good ideas on what to clean them with. I would appreciate any help.

Does anybody have one of these converted to run on WVO. I have seen a lot on the 77 to 85 models but nothing on the OM603 motor.

great pic of the car, how is the interior?

Interior is spotless. Burgandy with lambswool seat covers in the front. They had 2 layers of floormats front and rear and a big rubber mat in the rear. I even got the luggage rack bars in the original package unused. Does anybody have any suggestions about speaker upgrades - I have read they are an odd size. I have an MP3 player to upgrade but it wouldn't make much sence without good speakers. Any creative subwoofer ideas?
