Well, my C900 is starting to show it's age, and repairs are getting to the point where I am considering letting it go. Don't get me wrong, I love this car...had it for almost 7 years now. But I have come accross an '85 Mercedes 300 turbo diesel that seems to be in immaculate condition, and is cheap. I am seriously considering purchasing this car, as I've wanted to convert one of these things to run on vegetable oil for a number of years now. What are people's opinions on these classic Mercedes? What am I looking at as far as repairs? I've heard they are relatively indestructable, if cared for, but I admit that I am unknowledgeable when it comes to Mercedes. Now, I know it's going to be slow, compared to my '89 900S, but that doesn't really matter to me. What I'm more concerned about is general reliablity/maintanence issues. I know there has to be some people here on saabnet that have had experience with one of these cars. I won't abandon my C900 lightly! Thanks everybody.
