i recently bought my first mb diesel. a 1982 300cd with about 177,000 mi. i was reluctant because it has a bad tranny, but board member grimgaunt encouraged me to snatch it up. its currently awaiting a tranny transplant at his mercedes ranch he looked it over and he thinks its a good one. im excited about entering the world of mercedes diesel owners... im sure i will have many questions for you all in the near future. here are some pics:
