1980 300SD vs 1982 300SD ?
I've been looking at these beautiful cars for sale in my area and I have found both a 1980 and a 1982 with similar miles (135K). I have spoken with the 1982 owner who was the sole owner of the car and he says that maintenance was regular and the only thing that needs to be replaced is the A/C compressor and possibly the brake pads soon. I asked about rust and he said that any body rust was ground off and covered.

Are there any major differences between the 1980 and 1982 models that make one better than the other?

I have never owned one of these classics but I drive a VW diesel. I am interested in the MB as WVO conversion candidate / daily driver.

I appreciate all comments and input.

Thanks!
