Does anyone know where i can find diesel MB's for sale?
 

Diesel enthusiast looking for MB's for sale!!!!
please reply

Craigslist, classifieds, ebay, side of the road (preferably not on the side of the highway dead), this forum. Where do you live?

at a mercedes benz store. i think they call it a dealership?:D

I live in Porter TX, its about 20 miles north of Houston TX...
and i refuse to go to a dealership b/c i do not want to get rattled up by those stupid salesmen that want me to drop 100K on a 09 S-CLass... happened to me last time i went....

I am only interested in old reliable diesels...
maybe someone who has a lot full of them for sale, or anything else.

Thats probably not a real common occurrence....... :D Maybe 1 or 2....but not a lot full. :D

Craigslist always has a lot of them where I live (sf bay area). Enough that I can be picky when looking for one. I am sure Houston is the same deal.

Looking for a pristine one or one you can work on and drive at the same time?

I bought both of mine from private individuals in Houston off of Craigslist
(one actually IS a BMW dealer, but had bought the 300TD for his teenage son - who didn't think it was 'cool' enough. I did :cool: :D)

Craigslist.com, and every where else is a distant second. You might also want to check the Austin and Dallas versions too. I'm in the DFW area and I always check Houston and Austin. Bought one from Austin..........

how many???
 

How many do you want? I've got 4 old diesel lined up right now......:D:D:D

OF COURSE, none of them are 300TDs --- JimmyL grabs all of those.

You should try to narrow down your search. Do you want a 240D, 300D, 300SD? Turbo vs non turbo. Something newer? If you are not sure, you should read this forum for a while to get an idea about the differences between the different models and eras. If you get a car that presents a lot of problems that you do not understand, you will get discouraged quickly.

take our diesel !!!! Please...lol
 

We have a 1984 300SD TurboDiesel. THE BAD: interior isn't "datenight" worthy, but it's ok as a daily driver. MY hunny also tried to wax the car a few months ago to try to bring some shine to it. Well, the paint was just to worn and the diesel, which was formerly a nice powder blue, i not a swirl mark of bule/white on the top :mad:. Has an slow, oil leak somewhere underneath, I don't know wxcatly where its coming from and haven't even looked. No working radio, but stuill has the original Becker in it. No A/C, no heat. Electric seat passenger site doen't work. Motor works, but seat doesn't move, probably off track or something. THE GOOD: All power windows work (passenger side rear is off track, won't roll up/down, but you can hear the motor turning). Gets really really great gas mileage, she clocks about 35-38 mpg highway. STRONG engine. Starts everyday, in cold weather, hot weather, rainiy weather, always cranks up.;)
