240td?
No. A misinformed seller. The vin number he has posted is for a 300SDL and the engine bay photo clearly shows a stock engine bay.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180067335443 $230 is too much by how beat up it looks. |

Q:FYI. Mercedes never made 240D turbo.
A:Sorry, but they did. Maybe this is an incredibly rare mercedes? It has a granny gear under the gas pedal which is engaged when you depress gas all the way to the floor. I have the carfax that confirms: Year/Make/Model: 1983 MERCEDES-BENZ 240D Body Style: SEDAN 4 DR Engine: 2.4L L4 TURBO DIESEL Fuel: DIESEL Driveline: REAR WHEEL DRIVE Manufactured in: GERMANY Standard Equipment: 6-digit Odometer Good Luck and Happy Bidding! What a friggin' retard! |

Funny, the tranny kickdown is a Granny gear?!?! He is an idiot, and a shady seller.
Does somebody have the link to the site that shows an ebay members' negative feedback? I thought I saved it, but can't find it...... Google is a wonderful thing: https://addons.mozilla.org/mozilla/3141/

In the auction description, the seller offers to forward a copy of the CARFAX report upon request.
If I get one from him, I'll share the details here. I'm dying to know the explanation for apparently contradictory information. |

Lack on knowledge with a side order of shadiness appears to be the recipe...... In the video you see he also has a W126. Might think all diesels are turbo.....

This is what i just sent to him, doubt it will show up on the questions list but I just figured it would be worth a shot (more like I have nothing better to do during my vacation LOL)
"Just wondering, since this 240D is "supposedly" turbocharged, could you post an image of the actual engine bay, because the one you have posted obviously must be another vehicle, due to a complete lack of a turbo, and fwi, it's not a granny gear. it's simply a kickdown switch on the back of the gas pedal. You should really get to know your mercedes before you claim things about them."

I sent him a similar question to yours. I also just sent a question about seeing the car locally prior to bidding since it is in the area. We'll see.......
He has sure had a lot of unsatisfactory feedback for a fairly low amount of auctions......

From the ad
The odometer does not work. I can't tell exact milage, but the termostat reads 175k.
That above statement comes from the ad itself
