Yesterday I drove a 230K mile 1991 350SDL and a 350SD. The difference in performance was striking. The lower mileage car had much more power and was in great condition.

I don't care if they are low miles or high miles, I just want to drive it another 200K miles on biodiesel and have a safe big car for my family. I would buy a different car if there was something comparable in diesel, but there isn't.

So, if any of you have a 1991 350SD or 350SDL (or other '94 + S-class) that runs great, doesn't leak oil or fuel, has a good transmission, doesn't need front-end work, and is a light color, then let me know. I want it.

P.S. I can't believe people buy cars without seeing them on e-bay.

the 350 diesel is a rod bender...do a search and decide if you are willing to take the risk.
