Re: [diesel_mercedes] Re : 300TD wagon -- turbo?

 

Hi Alan and welcome to the group!  I too am a newbie to MB.

Had to comment on the VW bug...'63 with a tear top, 3 different colors of blue, no brakes, had to push start it, back wing window punched out by former owner. All for $300!  That was the first car I paid for.

Anyhow...I looked into VW Bug diesels a few years ago. Very roomy, comfortable, spunky.  Waaaay expensive!  New was $26K!  Then they banned them from the US for a year due to the motor.  I can't remember what it was all about.  I had a mechanic friend that said they are junk and every time they come into his shop it's automatically $1K!  Yikes!  

On the other hand, Kevin had a VW before we met. He loved it and to this day wishes he still had it.  I think it was a rabbit.  My old bug ran and ran on paper clips and bailing wire! (and crossed fingers)
