Like some others here, I'm still on my quest to find me an inexpensive yet well kept MB, preferrably a 300TD.
However, I've come across a '76 240D with a manual transmission and want to know, is it worth considering? Will the manual tranny in this one make it any more responsive than a 240 with an AT? I've driven a 300TD before but I haven't driven a 240D and I hear it's very slow. If it's worth considering, what should be the most I'd pay?
The owner has stated that everything works great on the car, but that the A/C needs charging and because it's been sitting awhile, the fuel tank needs cleaning. Other than that, all is assumed well. I'll be talking with the car's mechanic for years tomorrow morning.
There is another one I've found, an '83 300SD Turbo. I don't know though what the SD features over just a D/TD. The owner reported it being an 8 cyl? I thought these were only 5 cyl.
Thanks..
