Hi All. IIRC, the 190D was imported for a verrry short time. Marshall could correct me. But, in a drag race a 240D wins against the 190D. And I'm not home so I don't have my Nitske book to check that out. For anyone driving a congested city commute w/high speed merging..

Disregarding the gearing possibilities-- the 190D should be faster -- 123 chassis 240D - 3250 Lb and 67 HP 201 chasis 190D - 2700 LB and 72 HP 240D - 48.5 Lb/HP 190D - 37.5 Lb/HP The 190D was imported from '84 thru '86 best that I can tell. On 11/11/05, Chuck Landenberger [EMAIL PROTECTED]

PTWRONG. This is the 123 HP 5 cylinder TURBO diesel (same engine found in the 124). It'll blow other MB diesels into the weeds. Very rare car. On 11/11/05, OK Don [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Disregarding the gearing possibilities-- the 190D should be faster -- 123 chassis 240D - 3250

Jeepers folks, that's a gen-yoo-wine rare find, and a killer price as well! Hope someone near there nabs it up, and quick. I wouldn't think twice about picking that thing up, and right now--seriously. Casey Olympia, WA Biodiesel: '87 300TD intercooler (210k) '84 300D (205k) Gashuffer: '89

Bt!!! Wrong. The 190D, especially the turbo, is a hot little car. Unfortunately, the one advertise on the Nashville Craig's list is not a turbo, in spite of the ad. Actually the non-turbo model is not that bad, acceleration wise. No comparison with a 240D. If I drove either of the 190Ds

No, the 190D 2.2 was imported 1984 and 1985. The 2.5 was imported 1986 through 1989. The turbo model was imported only in 1987. Ron Dwelle On Nov 12, 2005, at 1:02 AM, OK Don wrote: The 190D was imported from '84 thru '86 best that I can tell.

Ron, it has the slotted right front fender, which makes it a 2.5 turbo, assuming it wasn't swapped after a crash--correct? See this pic: http://www.johndevine.com/benz/benz%20001.jpg On 11/12/05, Ron Dwelle [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Bt!!! Wrong. The 190D, especially the turbo, is a hot

Yup, you're right. I was looking at the lack of a badge on the trunk. Trunk must have been replaced/repaired/repainted. Ron On Nov 12, 2005, at 11:01 AM, Zeitgeist wrote: Ron, it has the slotted right front fender, which makes it a 2.5 turbo, assuming it wasn't swapped after a crash--correct?
