HELP!!!

What's this extra pedal for to the left of the brake pedal???

I went and picked this up after work. This thing can move! I had up to 65mph and while a bit louder than Coda, there was plenty of pedal left. It needs to be washed. The inside is in very good condition. Anyone want to make me an offer on this thing?

192,444 miles and a book named:
Mercedes-Benz
Engine/Chassis/Units - Moteur/Chassis/Organes
TYP 230/280 E - 240 D/300 D
(Mod. 123)
Catalog >>D<<

Original sticker price and also a note that I will follow up on to retrieve the 14 years of service records. Of course, the owner's manual, emission control and maintenance manual, warranty policy, directory of dealers, and Maintenance Booklet. More pics, later.

I see that's the rare 4-cyl diesel engine with the really rare diesel fuel injection. That would be the source of your whiplash getting to 65mph, btw. Those stickers always crack me up.
Oddly, the sticker doesn't list the SDL in the background as included 'no charge' in the price of $15,536.00 edit: $15,535...

Stupidest post of the year, but what is Diesel Furl injection? Is it bad? must be if they didn't really use it on all of them.

Hmmmm......I could do that. You want to buy both of them for $15,535? Sorry, JackG; I think I have a better offer.

So I see you did end up dragging that little mutt home. Looks nicer than you described!! Nice car!!
We will need some engine bay pics and of course interior shots as well.
That must be a record for time owning a car before it is up for sale....

Just got back from "finalizing" the deal --- PO wanted his battery back, plus I had all of his keys, plus he found an extra key. Since I had to retrieve his battery, I took some pics.

Yeah, I just modified my signature. It's too bad my oldest daughter is only 10.......I could teach her how to drive a stick.

LOOK, Jimmy!! A radio with 2 knobs!!!

Are you going to curb the title?

Jeepers, enjoy it for a few months at least before flipping it, daw, or is it a ticking time bomb?
