So I have progressed through the ranks from a sub $1000 1980 300CD to a big 1990 350SDL to an amazing 1992 300D and now my favorite a 1997 E300D All the cars have been cool but the 97 is just so nice, its a "nice newer car" that still has the diesel charm. Anyway Its in really good condition 142K miles dealer maintained. I just need an alignment and ball joints/sway bar end links. I also swapped out the cabin filters and will be doing the belt and tensioner shock. The taillights will be updated to the OEM 2000+ ones and headlights retrofitted to E55 Xenon's, no worries guys it will be classy

Wow, getting up in the world, I see.

Yep, she's a looker.

........get your wrenching skills ready...........

Well the first couple were my dabbling into wvo as a hobby and since, diesel has consumed me In addition to the 4 Mercedes diesels, I've also had 2 Dodge Ram 2500's w/ the Cummins diesel all of these mind you in the last 1 1/2 years. I am hoping this proves to be reliable and never leaves me stranded. Luckily FastLane parts get here next day when I order in the am and I am a fairly competent shade tree grease monkey . but I will always have a toy either the DINAN turbo, Triumph GT6, or maybe a BMW K75s motorcycle as a backup...
