This would be nice if it's real, and I could get it for around 2K.
He says it only has 6000K miles.

Here is his original listing.

Mercedes 240D Engine & Transmission

Mercedes 240D Engine & Transmission - $4000 (san mateo)





Mercedes Benz 240D 1982 Complete Engine & Manual Transmission. We are a high end Mercedes Benz (exclusive) repair shop in San Mateo (since 1988) We rebuilt this engine to new (New -pistons, valve job, oil pump, timing chain, starter motor, alternator, inj. pump, transmission bearings, clutch, on and on) The car was then totaled 22,000 miles later. We removed the engine/trans and were going to find a donor body and never did. Junk yard motors are $1500 with a zillion miles. This motor belongs in a car restoration project. Metric Motors sells 240D Long Blocks for $7450. This is an unusual find.
(650) 343-0988


He lists this for a while, then don`t see it, then it is listed for a week or so.
So what is it, 6K or 22K miles?

It is tempting isn`t it?

Anyone that thinks a 240D is slow drives too fast.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works
