Damn, one just went to the crusher at the yard I pull parts from. The speedo in the 300D ('84 I think?) said 135k or so, but the engine looked newer, no oil leaks and looked like clean paint and even some MB stickers on the engine.

Would have bought it just to have a spare, but at $69+$10 core AND being un-employed, I couldn't justify it. Kills me to think of how many good parts and engines get crushed there. Stuff we can never replace. They get a car in and a week later crush it. Very saddening. AND maddening!
