Those are good to have around, but not living in the car.  My poodle was out with me the other day and took great interest in this tree out front.  It is an old oak, has some voids in it, he was trying to get up into one about 4ft off the ground.  I looked in there and saw a possum nose stickin

That looks pretty good for a white car.  Good power, good fuel mileage -- I was getting 28 in the $500E300 but I know it could do better, I just didn't fool with it. When I got it I had to take off the intake manifold and EGR and debugger it, car was barely running as the EGR was completely cr

Actually an E300. Looks like it’s got MBTex interior, as many of them had. I’ll call the seller in a bit and find out more. -D > On Aug 31, 2019, at 9:48 AM, Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes > wrote: > > That sounds like a steal. Engine is 606 so you are already used to working on > them. It wil

I’ve seen a 1998 E320 diesel for sale here that looks pretty reasonable ($2k, 173k on the clock). I’m thinking about looking at it as a replacement for the E300D that the oldest boy drives these days. Any caveats on this model, specifically on the engine? What kind of mileage do these get? If
