I just purchased this '81 gold mercedes benz 300sd turbo diesel. I love it, it's got style and I'd like to think I can depend on it. Love that it runs on biodiesel. Not fond of the gas mileage because my last car was a '90 Honda civic dx hatch and I'm not thrilled with the mpg difference! Used to getting 35 now getting 25-28 at best.

I just put $950 if work into her, picked her up for $1500.

My problem now is that it sometimes has problems shifting into drive and one time it shifted out if drive in to neutral when I was already going about 35mph so I had to come to a stop and reshift.
I'm curious if this is a sign of a bad tranny needing replacement soon?
Also the left rear window occasionally won't roll up.
What did I get myself in to?
Also, what could I do to increase mpg?
Would it be really expensive to lube the sunroof in to working order?
I'm a 25 year old female and although I have a good job I'm not in any way made of money.
Thoughts?
Much appreciated!!
