[diesel_mercedes] Re: Re : Mazatlan

 

Happy christmas and a merry new year to all.

here are a few pics, from Mazatlan and from San Blas as well as a few from a small town El Quelite north of Mazatlan.
As you may see we spend a lot of time eating (pants that were loose are now quite snug) dancing and generally having fun.
The Motor Home by the sea belongs to our Mexican friends who just never stop feeding and partying, we went to San Blas to spend a couple of days with them.

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.

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.

We must not have many pontoon owners on this board. If I go back to an older Benz it will be a pontoon. I have owned both a 180b and a 190b, both great cars. The 180 was my first car.

Nate's right about finding a good one cheap. There would not be a reason to go for the one you found on the lot, even if they gave it to you. 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.

I do expect these cars to start moving up in value. I am guessing that this one is either a 219b or 220b with six cylinder engines. Were it to be a fuel injected 6 cylinder it might be worth a try, but it would need to be really cheap and could not have any rust through on the body.
