Seems pretty cheap cheap cheap. Looks like a lot more 606 cars are showing up on CL nowadays. As I browse and dream of having money for one. Most seem like high miles at 300k but what can you do.

RE: Craiglist alert thread - CRD4x4 - 11-22-2013
Not Mercedes-Benz!
Not a diesel!
It's a "closed deck" block from a '91 Subaru Legacy TURBO. These are the strongest blocks that Subaru ever made and will survive stupid amounts of boost. They came with under piston oil squirters. They're also as rare as hens teeth!

RE: Craiglist alert thread - sassparilla_kid - 01-31-2014
Not sure about the wheels, and non turbo. I might buy it anyway, I mean, I've got a set of wheels/tires for it so I might as well make use of them!

Reading a bit. No turbo till 87?
RE: Craiglist alert thread - lgreeley83 - 02-16-2014
Guy says its a turbo.... I'm considering adding 60x to my list of headaches. Starting my knowledge base from scratch sorta. What are some things to watch out for. Heads and head gaskets right?

besides the early #14 head numbers cracking these engine last forever 400k easy
RE: Craiglist alert thread - lgreeley83 - 02-17-2014
Well I went and looked today....whoa. He claimed a daily driver. That thing was buried in snow hidden behind other cars. Found documents on floor from junk auto auctions. Hood was not bolted on.
WVO grime all over. Evidence of a single tank set up. Probably a line in line set up. The hose the heat the fuel line gone but an odd fuel line wrapping around the engine. Plenty of gunked up primary filters laying around.
Tested resistance on glow plugs and all were good. Glow light not on though. Used my jumper box and it turned well enough to start.....no oil circulation in the head? When cold I opened the oil cap and the head was dry, oil pressure was pegged high. I let it keep running. When warm oil started moving through it. Coolant reservoir was empty, white smoke, #16 head. Bad idle.
Body and interior were nice. Sad but I don't have time to mess with that.
Heavy tapping too. Maybe a collapsed lifter?
I sorta like that w124 chassis. That may be something I go for down the road.

after hearing that maybe $400-$500 if it compression tests
RE: Craiglist alert thread - lgreeley83 - 02-18-2014
I just am afraid of any car that was running WVO. If it was a perfect set up maybe i would think about it but this looked sloppy. If he still has it once it warms up I'll consider looking at it again and investigate further. I just don't have the capability yet to be swapping heads or motors. Someday.....when i have a garage. And if i bring one more car home that cant be reliably driven everyday my wife is going to shoot me :-)
Learned a good bit from this little escapade though. My father went with me too, he is into older VW diesels but when he heard this thing rev up I think he fell in love.

I just took $1800 for mine. Probably could've held out for two. But mine included an OM603 IP and a second engine just to supply the crankshaft pulley.
RE: Craiglist alert thread - CRD4x4 - 03-12-2014
I spoke with the seller. He said he's turned down $1,500 usd. That's far from what I offered.
I just noticed that my original 606 post was posted at 6:06.

RE: Craiglist alert thread - lgreeley83 - 03-16-2014
70 fast for a diesel engine.? That tells me he knows not much about gearing and mechanical stuff in general. I've seen them cheaper from people who specialize in these.
Wait a few months and low ball I say.
Plus its a bare bone, no creature comfort SUV. Why not buy a jeep shell for a few hundred, do a swap, have the same experience. Sure its not "Mercedes" but I think in this case you are paying 14,000 for a name and a little more for a decent motor. Its like the default minimum of 10,000 for a w123 wagon on eBay. Someone somewhere might pay that crazy price but they probably shouldn't.

I wasnt planning on buying the thing. I seem some rust on the rear left side. Shit is probably rusted out on the bottom.
RE: Craiglist alert thread - sassparilla_kid - 03-18-2014
That GD is dumb, no turbo. Wouldn't touch that 220D with a ten foot pole either, looks like it's got an automatic, which coupled with that 59hp at the crank would be super slow.

New time poster to this site. I'm usually over on peach parts or benzworld. I've got some cut springs and struts for 124 up on craigslist and Rolf contacted me and recommended I post them up here as some of you guys may be interested. Feel free to contact me if you are interested or have any questions.

The car is a mint 95 e300d that I purchased a couple months ago as a commuter to give my 300ce and tdi beetle a break. It was a little too low for my taste (and it rubbed when loaded with passengers) so I put on some uncut h&r's. Rides beautifully now.

RE: Craiglist alert thread - JustPassinThru - 04-09-2014
My 1987 300TD wagon is still for sale. Some assembly required. The paletted engine is out of another '87 300TD which got T-boned at low speed in Seattle. The engine (OM603) has 289K on it and has a #14 head, but the fellow who sold it to me, Zeitgeist from the Benzworld forum, says it has zero timing chain stretch (i.e. the timing chain is a recent service replacement) and is a solid runner. You'll need a radiator and intake manifold; otherwise it's essentially all there. If you've got the time and tools to assemble it, I doubt you'll ever get an opportunity to own an '87 300TD in this nice of condition for so little money:

Welp, if nobody's willing to buy it at $1100, I'll assemble it myself, raise the price to something closer to three grand, and then maybe drive it to Atlanta!
