| Turbo Diesel vs Super Diesel . . . what's the difference?
Hello to Everyone in the W124 board!
Normally I am hanging out at the W140 board, but I came across a car ad for a "1987 Mercedes 300 Turbo Diesel". I thought it really looked like my Dad's W140 S-Class (which I like), but Tubs told me that it is actaully a W124. After looking at pics of Tubs' car, I realized the the W140 S-Class and the W124 E-Class really look VERY similar. Maybe the E-Class is just a bit shorter, but other than that, they look very close.
Anyways, the car in the ad is supposedly a Turbo Diesel. Does anyone know how reliable these cars are? Could you buy one with, say, 250000kms and not expect to do many costly repairs? Does anyone know exactly what the fuel economy is on this car?
Also, it is a Turbo Diesel. I also see Super Diesels listed for sale. What is the difference between a Super Diesel and a Turbo Diesel?
Thanks for your help! I have posted the pic from the ad below.
