Where can I find an owners/operator manual for a 1985 300D. I picked up a repair manual but I really need just the basic operators manual.

Is the 83 compatable with 85 for most issues? Such as climate control and basic features. And if so do want to part with it?

I did check ebay right now theres only one on there and it starts at something like $45 which seems kinda steep to me.

At that price, you could probably buy a brand new book from the dealer

check www.books4cars.com, and yes the cars are pretty much the same.
