  • 1990 Mercedes-Benz 300D TurboDiesel for Sale

    Hi folks,

    I'm selling a 1990 Mercedes-Benz 300D TurboDiesel. I bought this car a year and a half ago to run on biodiesel, but family issues have caused me to ditch those plans and sell the car. I bought it in a suburb of Philadelphia and promptly drove it all the way home to St. Louis with no problems whatsoever. The car only has 99,xxx original miles and will probably last for hundreds of thousands more. It is also in excellent physical condition for its age. It is white with only minor scratches and dings. Nothing is missing, absolutely no rust, etc. The paint still looks great, too. The dark blue interior is immaculate... no cracks in the dash, seats, etc. All are in very good condition. I added a new Alpine MP3 stereo system that can connect your iPhone, iPod, or other USB device. Like most of the 300Ds, this one gets great gas mileage... upper 20s in the city and around 35 mpg on the highway. Once again, it was never converted for vegoil or made ready for biodiesel, but that's easy enough to do for anyone interested. It's rare to see one of these cars with this low mileage and in this great shape, so I don't expect it to be on the market long, and I would love for someone interested in biodiesel and/or SVO to get it. The car is centrally located in St. Louis, Missouri.

    I'm asking $6,000 for this car.

    Please contact me at kopper65 (at) gmail.com or call and leave me a message at (314) 266-8472.

    Thanks,
    Jeff Kopp
    St. Louis, Mo.

                I believe so, We do have a few members from other countries, but mainly Aussies here.

                    Pity yours is not a Turbodiesel.

                        Yeah, it's a pity. I'd probably be more inclined to keep it then. It goes pretty well for a 300D - faster than any other one I've driven, anyway. Better mileage, too - 18km per litre on highway.

                          My wife is jealous of my Turbodiesel.

                          I took her car to Klaus, my German, MB trained, mechanic because it had less power than a NA W123 300D. He found that the PO had maladjusted the IP.
                          2 days later and it runs like a dream.
                          Still not as fast as the Fatmobile though, but at least it goes up the hills well. As you know, we live around 2.5km up hill from the nearest town, so it was getting her down. now she is almost happy.

                          Now, how can I get a OM603 turbodiesel onto Oz?

                          Regards,
                          Tony

                              The OM603 is in theW124 300D, like the one you have. The E300 had the later OM606. I also saw a W124 with the later OM606 engine last year.
