Now, I don't have a complete understanding of Mercedes diesel history [yet], but I have never seen nor heard of a 240D Turbo. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1872386988 Is this some kind of aftermarket add on?

This is an aftermarket turbo. I would not recommend doing this to a 240D, most especially an automatic model. There are many and varied modifications to the five cylinders to make it live with a turbo. Additionally you have to, in some way, modify the fuel delivery to take advantage of the turbo.

Putting a turbo on an automatic 240D, IMHO, is like putting a saddle on a pig. They were designed to make bacon and ham, not to ride.

Good luck,

it's nice to see that they actually spent time cleaning the car for the photos. also, how thoughtful of them to take 5 seconds to readjust the hood ornament for the photos. lazy!

I think I migth bid on the car. The reason: the super sweet NRA "My president is Chareslton Heston" bumper sticker in the trunk. Oh and that ratty magazine
