I'm still angry at my parents for selling the '83 300TD that I grew up in. I'd love to still have that car.

check out the LF9 Oldsmobile Diesel V8 from the 80'S it was an awesome 350-- what a great motor it was!!!!!!!!!!!

My friend has a w123, non turbo 300D. The thing is as slow as balls. But you wont find a more reliable car then it. I found it for him, he really didnt want a non turbo, but when we got there, it was the cleanest one we looked at. No major rust. Almost showroom. Payed 2k for it. all it needed was tires, Injectors,shocks, and glowplugs. it somehow dominates in the snow.



BTW: Pantless Spency, get that thing running. Or your a scumbag. If that thing makes it to a Junkyard, my friend will hunt you down.

Really? The only one I've driven hauled ass! I really dig the w124 body style.

I was referring to the w123. Got my numbers mixed up. I've never been in a w124.

[Kovs]

Yep, my W124 300D euro. And it's for sale:

I owned a Peugeot 505 and everything I'd bring it in for service the mechanic would do a face palm. The engineers seemed to have designed that car specifically to frustrate mechanics. Even simple oil changes were annoying (filter was nearly impossible to get to)
