RE: Diesel

[Mike Gruby <gruby@xxxxxxxx>]

I am driving a mercedes '87 300D turbo right now with 237kmiles while the
bimmer is getting the door fixed.  The car is fast and shifts so
beautifully, its amazing the way it runs with that many miles.  If anyone
is also interested in buying this car, drop me a line, I'm pretty sure my
dad wants to sell it, he's just using it untill he buys his next daily
driver car.  I'm sure there's not that many interested Mercedes people on
here, but a good diesel is hard to find :).
