I'm looking to buy a mercedes diesel. Found a 84 190D 2.2 with 180K miles the car is in great shape. This car is a automatic with all the bells and whistles. Seller is asking $3495. He states that he used 1 quart of oil per 1,000 to 1,200 miles. Is there any pros and cons between 2.2 and other diesels? I understand that they only made this motor for two years. Does anyone know the reason why? Any comments would be greatly apperciated! Thanks, Colleen

Sounds like a nice car.
look it up at www.nhtsa.dot.gov to find out if any recall stuff exists for it. You might contact "der Dieseling Doktor" mbooth+@pitt.edu also Marshall Booth ambooth@email.msn.com he knows alot about diesels and owns many including an '84 190D 2.2 225Kmiles Viel Gluck ------------------ 1979 300D 133K miles 1989 300SE 1995 C280 |

This particular car is extra slow. It's in the 240D automatic category, which is one of the slowest of the slow.
I drive a 240D stick 190 miles per day, but I go through 7 stop signs and one traffic light on the whole round trip, so I can deal with it, I'm almost always cruising. If you drive alot stop light to stop light you may get tired of it in a hurry.

Thanks for the info. Still looking for 240D,hard to find one in great shape. It's nice to talk to someone with expertise about Mercedes diesels.
