I’ve always bought used cars, never brand new. I never spent more than 3k on one(I’m a diesel Mercedes person) but recently I dropped $9k on an E320 CDI. It’s honestly the only car I plan on driving for a long long time. It’s 9 years old and originally went for $60k. I love depreciation. Many people are scared off…

No no no no no no no no.... The OM603 in the 350SD’s didn’t suffer from head gasket issues. They are more commonly known as rod benders. Which is why they are least desirable unless there is documentation the engine has been replaced with either a 3.0 or factory replaced rods and pistons have been done.
they should make big rigs like diesel electric locomotives.
fingers crossed the Germans start a diesel hp war
I wanted that so bad when I was a kid......

you'll need to have the front half of the driveshaft modified to reach the shorter 4 speed, and use a transmission crossmember from an auto 240D if I recall correctly and the rest just bolts into place. The flywheel will work but the uber rare 300D manual flywheel weighed in at 37lbs I think and the 240 is around 28,…
I've got a 4 speed swap kit on my shelf I'm looking to sell
'78 240D for me.... 4 speed ftw
or your fingernails have diesel oil crud under them permanently and your hands with black stained splotches all over them. Plus smelling like diesel is a badge of honor.
I've been driving 80's Mercedes Diesels since I was 15. I've owned 7 different diesel models and chassis spanning from '78 to '06. My currently daily driver a BROWN '78 240D 4 speed with manual everything is pretty awesome. It previously sat in a field in Georgia for 20 years before I rescued it. I pulled the…
I'll be in japan this summer and stopping in Hitoshima, I'll check these out!
real joinery doesn't use butt jointed woods screwed together
the CRUZE diesel is tempting. I have two cars I could sell off and buy it outright at that point.
Hey Steve, can't sell the tiki rooms!!
I doubt the new jeep renegade will last 30 years
I hope they go for dirt cheap because I want one!
I can't wait to got test drive one. I really hope they won't make the cummins truck be the highest trim level. Give me something slightly above base but not bloated!
if you willingly build a house next to a racetrack and complain about noise you're an idiot(not you, but the person). Same sort of issue happened here in central FL. Tourist trap known as Old Town has a giant slingshot ride and a sky coaster(free fall with a tether) and as houses were built up a mile or so away in a…
