The best deal is to avoid 350sdl's completely.

Better alternatives exist
This is the infamous "rod bender" diesel engine, there's more or less about a 50% chance that this example could be a bad one. Do a search for "rod bender". It COULD be all right, but I wouldn't chance it.
![]() It's also way overpriced for what it is. Perhaps you'd be better served by looking at the earlier models, like an 84-87 SD or SDL sedan, without the trap oxider problem, and rust free. That's just my opinion. Although it is written for gas powered W126 coupes, the buyers guide at www.mbcoupes.com is worth a look, for the tips.

This is a true statement! The rod bending likelihood would take away any joy of ownership......
