83 300SD any help

Hi,
I am looking for all and any input about my new arrival. I would like to hear all the pros and cons. So feel free to let me hear it. That way I know what to look for. Beautiful car and I think I am in love and from what I see on all the sites. I've been bitten by the MB Bug.

They are not easy to diagnose if you don't know the systems and or have the special tools, but then if you own 15000 acers with all the mineral rights who gives a RA. A great car for those that provide the service---loads of time billed!!


PS: Purchase a block heater!!

These are great cars. If you pay attention to the sounds and feel of the car, you can tell what it needs. These cars will go many many miles with the proper care. Oil Changes, Transmission fluid changes, brake fluid changes, etc. keep up with the care and fix things as they break and you'll be good.
