My 85 300SD is my daily driver - 202K. Between February 15th and 28th, I logged just under 2900 miles. Yesterday was a 315 mile day. I never think twice about getting in and going.
If you can find another car in the same age group, that's as dependable, solid, safe, comfortable and fun to drive - let me know. IMO they don't exist...And I've owned lots of cars!!
Sure you can say, and justly so - that an older Honda or Toyota can achieve the same high mileage and reliability ---- but they are no where near the ride and drive of these old classics. Is a 20+ yr old corolla as solid as my W126 --- NO WAY!
Diesel on Garth....
