Diesel RVs: Re: [diesel_mercedes] 1986 300 SDL for sale

I used to have one of these. I still regret the day I sold it. The asking price is a bit high but try to find a nice one. The chrome fender trim looks horrible in my humble opinion...

The guys in Feasterville keep coming up with absolutely beautiful cars with astronomic prices. I also wasn't aware of an 86 6 cyl version. We had an "87 6 cyl Diesel wagon which was a great car. There were stories of problems with cylinder cracking on these cars.

Other than the price which seems kind of high, any comments on this one?

I confess I didn't realize there was a 6 cyl 300 SDL....I just assumed they were all 5 cyl.

Claims to be a Californian car, 64K mi, now for sale just outside of Philly.

In many ways it's the 300 SD I've always wanted as it has dual airbags and ABS...however, I can only imagine what they would cost to repair (if repairable) should that be required, and these have to be 1st gen airbags and ABS - at least for US market.
