My brother had one of those, quite probably that year, & has had 3 MBZ since then, a C280, a C350 and another C350. He always raves about the 300TD as one of the best cars he’s ever owned. I think he lent it to his ex-wide who ran it bone dry of oil and it utterly blew up.
Do they break? Astronomical parts costs?

Those are great cars in the summer, at least. I know two people who have owned them. Any problems with fuel gelling in the winter, or have the fuel manufacturers gotten past that? That was always the reason I didn’t want one, even though you could get them cheap and they’re really solid otherwise.

Wow! Where did you steal that? We used to have one of those back in the day. It’s beautiful.
