This has been listed on CL for a while now and asking price keeps dipping, now under $1000. I am not big on engine transplants, call me a purist, and I hate the WVO crap. That said with teenage daughter #2 (the reckless one) nearing 16 might be an easy way to avoid crying when she inevitably dents a w123 that I have sweated over.


-1984 body w/ 87 non turbo 2.5 5cyl motor, auto trans.
-clean title
-~185k
-line heaters installed, runs on waste vegetable oil (wvo), just about 5k on straight grease commuting 50-60 miles/day. can run on normal diesel also.
-overall beater but has never broken down and will get you where you need to go reliably; i've driven up to 500 miles at a time straight. drivetrain runs well. Started it and drove around for about 50 miles today, ran great after being parked in the garage for a while.

the bad:
-has fuel leak at the primary mesh filter, has manual shutoff valve to prevent leaks while parked (doesn't leak while running)
-dirty in and out
-needs brake pads
