Re: [MBZ] 1992 300D 2.5T update report
I love my '91 also - but I've come to believe the motor mounts ay need to be replaced every 100K mi or so. The engine should be silent with no vibration at idle. re your fuel mileage - Ha! and Honda Camry drivers brag about 28mpg! ;-) The W124's are awesome cars - from what I've heard, the gas models are pretty good also.

Re: [MBZ] 1992 300D 2.5T update report
Yup - both of trhem are fine cars! I think the 92 actually leaks more oil than it burns - from the front crankshaft seal, and perhaps the injection pump o-ring. The rest of the engine is dry and clean. On Mon, Jan 4, 2010 at 1:49 PM, Donald Snook dsn...@mtsqh.com wrote: Kaleb wrote: I sure miss that car.

I wonder which is correct on the mileage... 900,024 or 9,000,024?
Anyway - no photos on the auction listing, but here's some of the
text. Located in Ocean Springs, MS.
1992 Mercedes Benz 300-D Turbo, 90,00024 miles. Diesel fuel. the
motor is in excellant condition, Body is in excellant condition,
however the front of the car was hit and the air bag deployed, needs
new bumper and airbag. I have the radiator out of the car as well as
the transmition cooling coil both are in good shape. I had to remove
them so I could get to the front bumper brackets they need to be
straighten out. I can start the car and the motor run great and the
transmition is in great shape. The car is loud due to a exaust leak.
To make a long story short, the car could be driven anywhere with just
a little work.
Current bid = $100. This has Kaleb written all over it, along with
SuperTurbo Project Car...

Re: [MBZ] 1992 300D 2.5T
that one actually has similar mileage to mine, but they say nothing about maintenance history or major repairs. Did I mention that the mechanic put in 500E headlights before he sold it to me? (Shameless plug) The mechanic who sold it to me does great work - his name is Aaron and his shop is called MB Classic in West Chester OH (near Cincinnati). His number is 513-870-0014, if anyone needs work or is interested in any cars he has. Last I saw, among other cars he had a 1984 300TD that was a gray-market import that was around $3000 or something. Cloth seats, speedo/odo in kilometers, Euro plates, the works. On 1/19/06, Kaleb C.

Hi Sunil -
Congatulations!! I'm sure you;re be happy with it. I keep looking for one
similar - but I'd like to find one with a bad engine I can buy cheap and
rebuild. But they're few and far between -

Re: [MBZ] 1992 300D 2.5T
Jim, Does the 1994/95 'facelifted' trunk on the 124 look any better to you? I think it looks a LOT nicer than the 1986-93 versions. Note that from 1991-93 (I think), there was an insert panel that makes the early ones look almost like the 94/95. :) -dm -- Date: Wed, 18 Jan 2006 10:31:14 -0800 From: Jim Cathey [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [MBZ] 1992 300D 2.5T Congratulations!

Does the 1994/95 'facelifted' trunk on the 124 look any better to you? I think it looks a LOT nicer than the 1986-93 versions. Note that I'm not sure. The offense to my eye is the 'low-entry' trunk style, especially when coupled with the angled rear opening and the associated cat's-eye taillights. And right now nearly _everything_ is that way. Ugh. I only look at mine from the front - can't see the rear end that way! Sadly that doesn't work for me, I always see the rear in the garage. -- Jim

The offense to my eye is the 'low-entry' trunk style, especially when coupled with the angled rear opening and the associated cat's-eye taillights. And right now nearly _everything_ is that way. Ugh. The trapezoidal opening and matching lights are the first thing I noticed when I first saw a 124 as a car-crazy teenager, and to me are by far the best feature of the car's styling! I prefer 124 sedans to wagons for this very reason. In fact, I happen to think (and I'm sure Jim will disagree strenously here), that straight-across trunk lids, especially those with pronounced curved edges leading down from the decklid to the seal (as on a BMW 2002), look silly. Like the car is pulling a pirate's treasure chest on a trailer. Alex Chamberlain '87 300D

Like the car is pulling a pirate's treasure chest on a trailer. R, matey! My faaavorite feature. The low-access trunks, in order to give you enough clearance to actually get into the things, open to near vertical. Which means that the trunk opening can't be too big or you wouldn't be able to reach it to close it. Which makes in all for a nasty squatty little hole of a trunk with a limp-wristed tiny little lid with an awkward closing action. Ugh. Low-access also means that crap will roll out of it if you ever need to leave the lid open to carry something large. Double-ugh. -- Jim
