any great diesel vehicles older than 1990?

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)

Yeah me too. LOL that's actually quite funny, I cut my fingers pretty badly doing the filter on mine when I was 16.

btw, do you have any pictures of yours?

I like the Merc w124 300TD.

I have a 300TD, the thing is a tank. Have no idea how many miles are on it, the previous owner sold medical supplies. The odometer had stopped working at 250,000. I repaired that.

I have no pictures of it. It was a mid 80's with fairly oxidized grey paint. The transmission went out on it shortly after buying and it's to date the only car I've donated to charity. I just could not get anybody to buy it. The interior was pretty darn nice. I tried to remove the seats for my 65 nova and couldn't even get to the bolts that held them in. F Peugeot. :)

Ukit (idk if you know of him) would have bought it off you, he's by East Pasadena

You should have donated it to me :)

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

Copy. The older 300D's are slugs and also somehow get comparatively shitty fuel economy.

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

So it's not a turbo diesel? Noticed it doesn't have the intake slots in the right fender.

No turbo. Just a 3L straight 6. This is a grey market car and the first year for W124 body. The US didn't get a diesel version (turbo 6) until 1987. It was a one year only model and the next diesel didn't arrive until 1990 with the turbo 5 (great engine!). These had slots in the right fender as did the 1995 only E300D (straight 6, no turbo). 1995 was also the last year for the W124 body style.
