I've heard the 240D was the most reliable of the D's with a few 1,000,000 cars (though I'm sure not on the original engine!).

Sorry for the long wait, I've been busy with midterms 
These are pics that I took last year during the summer. The pics, even thought 1.5 years old, aren’t out of date, since the car still looks 100% the same now. Yes, these are the original miles, no engine swaps, all original. Car is not for sale, lol. I had a couple people even offer me money while I was driving it. Even though this car is my main commuter, I still only manage to put 6K km on it per year :p

I love to see cocomats in a MB of that vintage. Our 300SD used to have them, that pic brings back some good memories.

Today I planned on washing the car and taking pics after my trip to the gym. I’m leaving the gym and walking to my car, I see someone had smashed the grill
I was disappointed, but not too upset, seeing that I could not of prevented this from happening. So I decide to drive down to my local mb auto wrecker to buy a new grill. Their website stated that they would be open till 5, but once I had arrived, a guy working a forklift said they were closed

I started backing up my car into another parking spot across the street, and I drove into a ditch
Who puts a ditch right beside a parking spot?! The car was stuck on it's frame, and the rear wheels were just hanging in mid air. I kindly asked the guy working the forklift if he could get it out, which he did with relative ease. The car doesnt look like it took any damage, and it drives the same. But for good measure I’m going to have it checked out next week. You’ll all have to wait for the pics until then
