I'm back in the (diesel) game again!
I'm flying out to Dallas Friday morning to pick up my new baby and drive it back to Michigan. It is an '87 190D 2.5 with 80,000 miles on the odo.
After being out of the game for more than 10 years, I'm all excited! :p :p

Is it a 2.5 Turbo? There looks to be a real cherry on ebay, an 87 190D 2.5 non turbo with a 5 speed and CLOTH interior! Very interesting cars, those 190D's.

Another diesel coming to MI. This is good!
That's supposed to be the best mileage MB for diesels isn't it? Don

While I was bidding on an '88 190D 2.5 on eBay in Idaho, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1822917656#BID1 (His reserve is $3000, which I didn't think would get hit and is a little high), I took one last look at different on-line classifieds. I found this one on http://www.cars.com/ and struck the deal the next morning.
It has far fewer miles than the Idaho car and it's 800 miles closer. The motor mounts were just changed and it has new tires. I saw the turbo on eBay. It's what I really started out looking for, but will probably go for too much. I don't like the dark blue cloth interior though. The 2.5 is a good fit in this chassis. I think the 2.2 is a little stressed, but if run mildly can get great milage. We'll see what this one does on the way home.
