Runningtoohot,
Congrats! From one 123 owner to another. These are very special cars, take care of them and they truly take care of you! I bought grandpa's car 1 year ago. His son was selling for hi 81 yr old father. Very nice guy, both of them. When i saw the car from 500 ft away i knew i had to have it. % min later i made up my mind and paid him the $1500 with even a personal check which i post dated!!!
The A/C blew cold. The brakes worked well, the interior was a 9 out of 10, and the car even had a sunroof whick the guy forgot to mention over the phone!
The radio and cruise didnt work but i didn't care. Here i had a $31000 tank that drives like the day it was shipped here!
I looked at over 12 M-B diesels before i found this one. Some people can be very dishonest about what they are selling, and i could pick up on this fast. Im glad you finally found what you were looking for! And im glad you got a D and not an SD. SD has too much heft for that engine!
BTW, what color is it?
