Had a 79 wagon with 383k stuck on it ,seller told me it was well over 500k ,i sold it after a year or so of driving.It might have reached that kind of mileage by now.Most odometers go out after 200k ,who knows what some of these cars are performing too.The design is tough enough to get it to these numbers ,you dont see this kind of engineering anymore.Most people look at these cars as beaters ,especially when they have a few dings and the paint has faded to a well worn dullness.I ,on the other hand ,feel a respect for the car and give it maintinence to help it along to the next owner ,usually someone that knows about the MB diesel legend.Most cars ive bought and sold were parked and forgotten ,the people give me a story behind its being parked ,and I then make a decision on the honesty of the story.Usually $1000 or less ,sell em for $2000 or less.Interiors ,Ive found, are the most important to buyers .Clean ,well kept interiors.
