250TD, anyone know anything about these?
Has anyone seen one of these before? I know its a craiglist listing but I feel it'll get ignored in that thread. Its an interesting model a I think it could use a little discussion. A bit expensive though. Looks nice from the photos.
Some of the highlights are: Interesting headlights. Weird options. http://portland.craigslist.org/clc/car/384659866.html

Stupid looking headlights, but a 5sp manual hooked up to a 2.5 liter diesel. Nice.....
Uh, and you're right: pricey

I kind of like the headlights, reminds me a little of the 123's. Are those lamps aftermarket? I've never seen a 124 with the round ones.

That one had been on CL for quite some time. Probably because of the price. I think it's kind of a finny looking car they way it's all tricked out.

What strikes me as strange are the trim combinations and window controls.

I for one could not stand that red color - that's not "my cup of tea", the British would say. Is that red color ever used in the US W124 wagons? A nice color combination would be a selling point. A $5000 price is probably more reasonable.

Should be exactly the same as the 90-93 300D 2.5 sold in the states but obviously in a wagon.

Its the uniqueness of the car that stirs my curiosity. Were the 2.5's available as a 5 manual in US spec?

If it's a factory-spec diesel with a 5-speed, then it'd be a fun car to have and put back to normal - the wheels, headlights, dark tint, and repaint are not a good sign of intelligent ownership.

The guy in the listing stated it had been a project. I wonder what he meant?

But the 5 speed would help.

I've heard of some strange combinations like power windows in front and manuals in the rear in older Euro models but never the seats.
