That's high $ for a non turbo model.....
God alone knows what went into the " rebuild " ~ I don't trust any Mechanics .
Still and all , it does look like a very nice car , it even has the more reliable Klima II HVAC .
IMO ; they give up after dumping too much into the Mercedes Diesel because the ' !!FREE !! FUEL !!' , _isn't_ and worse , it's a terribly time consuming PIA to do right , even the -other- Nate gave up on it after several years of good results , the other thing is this : old Mercedes , like all old German cars , need constant maintenance to be reliable . for some , this is nothing , especially because you can do the works necessary at home .
Other folks , raised on cheap Japanese cars that run *perfectly* for 20 years & 250,000 miles before being thrown away , balk at this much work & $ .
Me , I plan to keep my old 300CD Diesel Sports Coupe as long as I can , I'd _LOVE_ to convert my '69 Chevy C/10 pickup to an OM617.952 Diesel engine .
