I think about my 1984 Mercedes-Benz 300TD pretty much every day. I absolutely can’t wait until that car is ready to be driven, and I miss driving it even when it had the molasses inline five-cylinder turbodiesel engine.
Finding this 1982 example on Craigslist makes me miss my own car that much more. This is a clean example and it’s priced exceptionally well, considering how much people are often asking for 300TD runners. In fact, if you had the means, it would be a smart move to buy this in Southern California and flip it quickly and easily in Northern California for a hefty profit.
Seriously, go check out 300TD prices on Craigslist around San Francisco. The Veggie set loves turning these into fry-juice drinkers, or leaving them as is for hipster street cred. This one will set you back less than $4k, and it seems as if nearly all of the relevant service as been performed for you.

Holy geez, yeah. I couldn’t find any W123s near me but here’s a pricey W124 Diesel Wagon. 9000$ CAD

And the124s are better cars than the 123 in every way.

Except styling.

Which is very much a matter of taste, and 25% lower drag. When I spoke to Bruno Sacco he said he preferred the 124 because of it’s lack of extraneous detailing, which of course is the reason why some prefer the 123. 🙂

Found a pricier W123 sedan. $1000 CAD, albeit for a low mileage euro-model.
