  Should I buy this 1982 Mercedes 300D for $5,500? 150k miles

  Diesels don't Die !! That's a good price !! I've been driving an '82 300 Turbo Diesel for 29 years !..The fuel is a light oil which lubes the cylinder wall when injected in before the power stroke explodes it, using no spark to do so.. No tune ups, no smog test, no Cat, no distributor, no plug wires, 20MPG..on and on ! A non-turbo may be slow on take off, but they go and go and go ! Bilstein shocks last forever !! These are little Panzer tanks !! Long as there's no rust you're rolling in classic style !!! No lie !! This one looks Fab !! 14" rims are tough finding used tires for..Great wheels/no stupid plastic hub caps. The suspension and handling are A1 as well. If this was maintained as well as she looks, GO GET her ! No lie...They don't die....Mark, L.A.

  Me with the Golden Taco the day I bought it vs 4 years later... Still ticking with 530,000 miles!

  My buddy makes $400k a year and drives a 22 year old Toyota Highlander with 350,000 miles. All that money saved, he now owns 3 houses in SoCal.

  [Bifl request] A car, suv, or truck

  Can you give a price range or certain features that are must haves? In general, you can't beat Toyota or Honda, or their luxury brands: Lexus and Acura. Subaru is also solid (they're partners with Toyota). If you're considering an suv, and have a lot of money to spend, I would get a Toyota Land Cruiser . There's a reason why you'll find 15 year old land cruisers for over $10k. Econo car, I'd pick a corolla over a civic because the Corolla has a timing chain instead of a belt. Midsize sedan, Honda Accord. Full size, Toyota Avalon or Lexus LS460. Out of all the cars, if money is no object, I'd get the LS460. Truck, nothing beats a Toyota. Small suv, Honda CR-V. Mid-size suv, highlander, pilot, or 4Runner.
