Nothing major has gone wrong with the Benz. I have only had to repair/replace little things, such as the power antenna and passenger's side heating/air conditioning vent. The cruise control does not work, but I have heard that many Mercedes Benzes of this era have their cruise control go out. The vacuum locks tend not to work after three cycles, and do not hold charge overnight.
I love the 240D. It is equipped with the 4-speed manual transmission. This car is one of the best engineered automobiles I have ever driven. The car is simple in many aspects... but not too simple. It has all of the luxury car comforts, such as: dual-zone climate control, leather seats, power sunroof and power locks. My car does not have power windows, which is how I wanted it. The fuel mileage is great, between 23-25 miles per gallon in town. The car gets rave reviews from everyone who rides in it and I love driving it.
I couldn't agree more! I have the exact car and the same comments!
L have the same car and I love it, he already did safe my life once in an accident and it brove to me that it has an excelent stability.
This car meets the three s's - slow, safe and sure. A great car.
Hey.
I understand that with only 67 hp these things are slow, but hows the torque? I have an 83 240d power plant and transmission that I'm considering putting into an old jeep for an off-road buildup.
