WANTED: 240D, 4 speed, in NJ

Hi,

I am looking for a 240D, 4 speed, in or around NJ to be used as my daily driver. I am trying real hard to find one, not having any luck though.

Thanks!!!

Talking there is a white 300D at Dirkes U Pull it on 322S

I believe its a EURO 300D with a nice white paint job, EURO would mean no AC, and 5speed , and no Turbo, just as good if not better than a 240D

The Euro 300D with its larger engine and 5 speed would be a much better option than the slower 240D and equally reliable, if not more.

my euro 300d is a 4 spd, I've never seen a w123 fiver in person.

alex, are you checking craigslist? I see alot of them there.. you shoud be searching craigslist NY, NJ, DE, baltimore, Philly, and DC. You will find one there....

I search by the following keywords... Diesel, Deisel 240d 240 300d 300 and of couse 'these cars go a million miles'

one more thing.... why don't you try to find a 190D 5 speed instead ? I have driven both and can tell you that the 190D is 100000000 times better.

The best part is that the 190Ds get way better gas mileage than a 240.
