How many miles does a Mercedes 300D have?
I don’t know how many miles this car has, but you need to start paying attention to the automatic transmission in the 200-300K mile range (I replaced mine at about 275K miles, about $3-4K for a good rebuilt), be aware of any “flaring” between shifts. Also, verify that the car has no rust, do not buy a rusty car for any price.
Can a Mercedes 300D diesel be taken care of?
If you can find one that has been taken care of, sure. Definitely take it by your Mercedes mechanic and get it checked out before buying. It seems like every 300 diesel that I see has a black streak up the back and a perpetual cloud floating behind it.
When did the Mercedes 300D turbodiesel come out?
Normal 0 false false false EN-US JA X-NONE 1985 Mercedes-Benz 300D TurboDiesel (W123) The Story: I love Mercedes-Benz. This is my 9th Mercedes, all from 1965 to 1992.
Can a 20 year old Mercedes 300D be reliable?
A 20-year old (well maintained) 617 engine is at least as reliable as any of the current rolling video games. No, under normal conditions they are very reliable even at that age and miles. They do take some care, but they were one of the most reliable cars made at that time. All the above advice is good.
