Replying to: jrosasmc (Jul 28, 2009 7:55 am) No doubt a Corolla would be a lot more agile than a 240D...probably more powerful, and lighter. Probably more metal in the front clip of a W115/W123 than an entire period Corolla  I remember the first time I drove my fintail, and the first thing I thought was "this is like a bus". Gigantic steering wheel, upright windshield, weird engine noise and acceleration compared to a normal car. But, I got used to it pretty quickly.

Hi. I am new to this forum. I was hoping to gain some advice on a 1995 300D I am interested in. It is a two owner car with about 190k miles. Assuming it is in good condition and has been well maintained (which I still need to verify), what might be a good price to offer the seller? I believe they want around $6,000 for it, but that seems rather high to me based on Edmunds and KBB valuations. As I understand it, the 1994 and 1995 model years of the W124 diesel are pretty good ones to consider, so these are the ones I have been most interested in. As far as problem areas, I understand the wiring harness was recalled on this model, so plan to verify it was taken care of. Would there be a few other check list items anyone would suggest? Many thanks.
