1983 300d dont know what to do with

Get a good used engine. The best way to do this is look in the north for a car that has a decent motor still but otherwise the car is finished through terminal rust rot.

You ca usualy pick these up really cheap, like, $100 or even free on a good day.

I might be interested give me more info on the car,IE: gas or diesel,millage,serial numb...etc I live in Vancouver Canada. Regards Dan

A good starting point would be....what kind of mess? Running or not? Runs rough? Something a mech could look at and give an estimate for repair? I believe an engine trade-in/replacement would run at least $2500 (rebuilt, not new). If the car is in otherwise good condition, you're looking at a ride that could give you several hundred thousand miles easy. I'd consider repairing the engine if possible, or maybe transplanting a rebuilt one. A few thousand dollars is chump change to get a benz back up and running.

This is a diesel. the actual milage i cant get because I am out of town.app.260... the vin#iswdbab33a6db026423. I am looking to get rid of this car this weekend if your interested to making the trip it will have to be towed. I have an offer of 300 not confirmed if you want great deal let me know
