A friend of mine purchased an '87 300D since I had highly recommended an MB diesel in the 300 series. I was on vacation at the time and when I returned he brought the car by for me to look at. This is the 124 body style with a six cylinder turbo, much different than my earlier 300D. He says the previous owner claimed this car was imported from Germany for only the one year although it was manufactured for sale elsewhere for at least a couple of years. I drove the car and it runs great with gasoline-type acceleration once the turbo kicks in. Anyone had any experience with this year/model MB? Anything in particular he should look out for?
