The W116 chassis (1978-80) 300SD Turbo is not as common as the w123 chassis (1977-85) 240D & 300D sedans. It was built for 3 years, sold only in the United States, and was replaced in 1981 with a new chassis.
HOWEVER it shares the SAME ENGINE as the 1982-85 300D/CD/TD and 300SD.

YES your car is not as common as some of the other 617 cars.

NO your car is just as durable and well built as the other 617 powered cars.
