Hello,

Sometime next week I will be going down to pick up a 1987 300TDT wagon in CT. After our house sells and I have a little more cash, I will convert it to run on WVO.
(what I really want is an affordable electric car! It's a damned crime that our US "leadership" doesn't push for this. In the meantime, this vehicle will get a lot better gas mileage than my 2000 Toyota Tundra --- which is for sale: www.paulandrewphoto.com/tundra )

The car has had a lot of work done on it in the past 3 years by a mercedes mechanic: A/C compressor
New Radio/CD and speakers
new back seat net (the "fish net" that carries "stuff" attached to the front seats)
New R/R window reg w/motor - not the window the motor that works it
brake rotors
rear brake pads
parking brake shoes and cable
shifter brushings
cylinder head - 2K for part only
prechambers
gasket set
head bolts
Thermastat to pass CT emissions test
front brake rotors
front brake pads

2004

2 steel lines
steel fuel line
new bolt in motor
serp belt
belly pan
belt shock
Left front blinker
shut off valve and seal
new starter
paint front and rear bumper

Recently, someone scraped the side of the car while backing up. So, I am buying the car for $5000 and paying $1500 to fix the cosmetic damage. This is for a 223,000 mile car. The previous owner was a realtor, and used the car to drive her clients about.

I can hardly wait to see the car in person next week!
Pictures attached.

Welcome!

 

I must say that car is very impressive for an 87' model. She must have taken very good care of it, everything looks practically new! Congrats on the find and welcome to the site
