Max,
I think it is a 180d that Mercedes advertised as a million mile vehicle. As I recall it was a black pontoon coming down the road and the script came up under it with 1,002,968 or some such number.
That commercial was on of the early influences on me that got me hooked on them.
I still would like to have a 180 diesel.

Loudest car engine I've ever heard. They have a push rod engine. Some wheres around 40HP with great fuel mileage, four speed on the tree. Max

Can't tell you the number of times I have bit on a serious fixer upper and the money I blew down the drain trying to bring it back. I suppose if you could do it all yourself, you might be able to make one like this work, but that's not even likely.
