Re: Looking for info on Mercedes diesel engines...

The thought I'd raise isn't with longevity.
Several friends over the years have taken their MB diesels
well into the 400k range. Even if this one would do that well,
subtraction will tell you more. You've got probably 125K left.
That's not a lot.
Here in Columbus someone this week is selling a '91 350SD for $13K with

a little over 100K miles. That would be a nice diesel to start with.
