Hello,

I was wondering if I could get som help from you guys. I am in need of a more fuel efficient vehicle and I have my eye on a 69 220D. Body looks great, a little rust around the wheel wells, nothing I can fix. But the Vehicle has over 300km on it.

Now I know that they are reliable and that the engine is well a "Mercedes Diesel" but is that too many Km's on it or would it be OK. He is the original owner and it seems to be in excellent shape.

This would be the first diesel Will own. Am I getting in over my head? I am very mechanically inclined and have extensive expierence with autobody.

How are these vehicles? Are parts expensive?

I have a 65 220sb which I just finished restoring and I love it but I do not dare to drive it in the Canadian winters so i am going to opt for a diesel.

Thanks for all of your help.
