Hi,


I am selling my wife's car. She just bought a cheaper car, so this one is for sale. More about this Mercedes:


- 1991 Mercedes Benz 300D, 2.5 turbo diesel, 5 cylinder, W124 body
- 154K miles
- exterior is 9.5/10
- interior 9.5/10
- seats and carpet are perfect with NO tears, rips, cracks or stains. Seats are the gray MB tex ( stronger than leather, supposedly Mercedes guarantees it for 25years. My 1984 300D has MB tex also and no cracks either)
- dash has no cracks ( the W124 body has no crack problems like the old W123 1977-85 body).
- new inspection and registration
- power locks, power seats and power mirror work great
- cold AC and hot heat, gets to operating temp quick
- non-smoker car
- turbo spools fast and smooth, no whining noise, and the car rides smooth and fast, compared to my wife's new 1986 300SDL ( long base 6cyl diesel)
- suspension is nice and firm, handles great, steers straight with no play in steering wheel
- automatic transmission shifts smooth and and at the correct rpms
- tires have 50% thread left
- brakes are great, car stops fast, ABS works in the rain, pads have more than 50% left
- car starts right up, even in the recent cold mornings, compression was 430-440psi measured with a diesel compression tester (Matco 1000psi diesel tester)
- engine temp is always at 82 degrees Celsius ( about 2mm above the 80 mark on the cluster)
- no blowby whatsoever
- clean title in hand




Recent maintenance:
- new Castrol diesel oil, and Mercedes Mann oil filter (no Autozone parts on the car, always original Mercedes parts installed)
- new fuel filters ( plastic and metal)
- injectors cleaned and pop tested 1 year ago
- Lubromoly diesel injection cleaner used at every oil change
- new thermostat and coolant ( ready for the winter)
- new transmission filter and Dextron fluid
- new transmission vacuum line
- new o-rings and washers in delivery valves on injection pump, new injector heat shields, new return lines on injectors
- all glow plugs tested to be operational
- new motor mounts ( 1 year ago) and new trans mount ( last month)


This W124 300D is the favorite Mercedes for a lot of Mercedes diesel enthusiasts. The OM602 motor is completely redesigned from the W123 body OM617. Aluminum head instead of cast iron, better oiling system, no problems with spun bearings, better head design, hydrolic lifters, etc. Bigger turbo , more torque and power, especially at low rpms make this car real fun to drive compared to the W123 tanks ( my daily driver is W123 1984 turbo diesel).


Now about the biodiesel part: I have been running WVO with a Lovecraft kit for 13K miles on my 1984, and it runs great. I have not spent a single dollar at the gas station since June this year. I was going to convert this car as well, but we got the 1986 SDL for cheap, so I installed a veggie oil kit on the SDL also, and it runs like a champ as well. So now our gas bill is ZERO dollars. I can install the Lovecraft SVO/WVO kit for additional $1000 ( kit is $600 and labor $400).
