Hi everyone-

I looked at what I thought was a 1984 300CD today. Burgundy with Palomino leather (not MB-Tex) interior, 146K miles.

The engine was a 1984 setup, the sticker on the door jam said that the car complied with 1985 automobiles. And the metal plate on the jam said that it was made in 11/84.

Running the VIN through Carfax tells me it's a 1985 300CD.

What's up with that? Has anyone ever experienced this before? Did MB just have a few more 1984 engines that they put into 1985 model year cars?

It this is right, I've hit a small jackpot. I hate that Trap Oxidizer setup that my previous 1985 had.

Thanks,

Craig
