looking at a 300 CDT
Hey all, i'm currently the owner of an '83 240D and really like. I was interested in something with a little more pep. I am looking at an '82 300 CTD with 167,000 miles. are there any opinions out there on this car?(haha) anything specifically to look for? I'd appreciate any input.
Thanks, Dale |

Not many miles on that, check usual stuff. Keep in mind what vstech mentioned. It will have more pep, I enjoy mine, 116k miles, everything except outside passenger mirror, and trunk light work as designed.

similar car
the stats are very similar to the 4-door, maybe a little less weight, but most of the parts are compatible. True that doors, front seats, windows, panels are different. But I have bought a lot of parts, etc that would fit all models.
I have heard the 84's and 85's are the fastest, but I am a little biased. Don't expect much, and you will be satisfied. From a 240, I think you will fall in love from what I know. I love the looks of the coupe, I plan on buying another one if/when this one dies..... CHECK A/C!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
