Sad day: selling my 85 300D

It is time for me to sell my beloved 1985 300D. The poor car has seen its far share of crazy times and now that I am graduating college I am being given a graduation present of a new car.

377,000 miles and counting. Still has a great dash too.

You'll be sorry!

Sell the gift car. Keep the 300D.

Congratulations on graduation -- do you have a job lined up? May you work hard and contribute a lot to the Social Security fund -- I need the money!

Are YOU gonna be happy with a new car ??

The way you worked on your 300D I kinda doubt it.

Yeah no kidding, I'd sell the gift car too. You'd be way ahead financially as well as get to keep your 300D!

Or, sell it and find a much lower miles mint diesel.
