I didn't know that. My local dealer still had brand new 240Ds for sale during spring 1984. I guess they could have been left over 83's. Diesels were still selling well in Seattle at the time, and IIRC US spec 190s were late arriving. I was tempted to buy one, as that was the time period that I had my beautiful, but troublesome w115 280 sedan. I ended up getting a 1980 w116 300sd.
