I've got a friend that just picked up a '91 350SDL with 168k miles on it. Bought it for $6500 and to the uninformed is a beautiful, great driving and running car but it does have a poor rep. Anyway, for right now the car is fine. I just changed the gp's in it and checked for timing chain stretch and it is quite obvious that someone took great care of this car because it was absolutely spotless under the cam cover. It will be interesting to see how long it runs before the engine lives up to it's rep
. He drives the heck out of it so it probably won't be long.
keep in mind:
Nothing is impossible to the uninformed
