Air conditioner failure, found out it was the compressor coil.
Two years ago, the starter motor failed.
I bought my first Mercedes in 1994. This was a 1972 220 diesel. The most reliable car I have ever owned.
In the year 2000, I sold the 220 and bought a 300d turbodiesel, which I still own. This car is very relaible and fast. In four years, I had to replace the starter motor and the air conditioning compressor.
I was rear ended in an accident where my car had suffered a frame damage from the rear. I still drive it.
I have looked for another 300d turbo diesel to buy - I could not find one. I ended up buying a 300sd turbo diesel with 265000 miles on it. Very clean leather interior .
Hey I'm getting ready to buy a 83 300d turbo deisel. But I'm hesitant because I read in another review that they are only good for 250000 miles. But yours has gone farther. Is the other review true or can I confidently buy this one. It has 239000 on it, but still looks good and seems to run fine. I just don't want a money pit after 500 miles or so. I'm afraid to get duped. thanks man!
