Well, there you go. So maybe I _wasn't_ on crack when I paid $3,000 for
a pretty nice '82 300D Turbodiesel that I found on eBay and drove it
back to Indiana?

In Mass, 4 or all wheel drive cars have a reduced emissions

Bob - My mileage is back up to 26 on my '81 SD. I did have a leaking fuel
return line on 1 [enough to make it wet] and replaced 1-2-3, but I don't
think that was all of the reason for the 3-4 mpg drop I got for three tanks.

Looks like the 240D is a VERY nice older car:-) Wonder what the reserve is?
Anyway not good news that older sedans are starting to rake in the cash.
Where are bargain bin shoppers like me supposed to source good 123's at a

Yes it does. I think ebay protocol dictates that the seller leaves feedback
after receiving payment and the buyer leaves feedback after receiving the
goods. Otherwise it turns into intimidation.

I do shop around and not just go to the same one. Also I can tell within a

Uhh, yea, it might but shoulnt be too long. That car is still on the
