[rio678]

Hi everyone

Just purchased a 1991 on an H plate, mercedes 300Te Estate 24V, 7 seater. done 144K, with full black leather and every option practically!, gearbox is a 5 speed, and was reconditioned at 100K, only 1 previous owner too, Mot'ed and Taxed bought for 375.00, Nothing really wrong with it, except for a bubble at the front wing, was it a fair price??

Er, yes I would say so.

Tremendous price my son!

You can put the money you saved towards your petrol bill.

Alternatively, if you've got no qualms about it, stick in on autotrader for £2500

He he, i shall miss my diesel for that though, although i will be keeping that one in the meantime! but it is quite powerful i am only use to the single cam Merc, or the twin cam 2.8, can't be worth that much surely? I mean there isn't anything wrong with it, i was expecting a few problems but nothing except from a couple of scabs on the bodywork.

Just a little piccie of the engine after a little clean up, looked quite dusty when i got it

Is the engine an optional extra with that air filter?
