  • I love checking out old cars, this benz is a tank, it'll still last till probably 500k miles! Pretty cool to be able to compare today's luxuries with things in the past

    My dad bought a 1983 300SD brand new and put 380,000 miles on it...Then the odometer broke. He kept it for 8 more years before giving it to his gardener. Now it's a taxi somewhere in Latin America.
    What a phenomenal car. I'm glad I'm old enough to remember riding in it.

      My Mom had a 1985 300SD (bought in August of 84') with smoke silver. She had to have that color and Hendrick M-B of Charlotte had to get it out of Colorado. It was an entry level S-Class but it was nice. My Dad had a 1984 BMW 633CSi when she got her M-B. Now that was a car :)

      My odometer stopped 7-years ago at 259,867. Still drives like a new car and glides along at 80mph getting 29mpg! And I put 200 miles on it every week.

    I always like the feel when you close the door of these old benzes, particularly W123, 124 and 126 (this one)..... then you can feel it is built with ingenuity and absolute perfection... I'm wishing todays mercs are as "stone" as these... thanks for posting!

    Loved the video. It was entertaining at least, watching someone unfamiliar with it, figuring out how things work. I've driven them for years. My 1984 300SD has 680K miles now. Replaced the transmission a year ago, but the engine's never been touched. Greatest machines ever put on the road, and still are to this day. Your "blast from the past" is my daily driver!!

    These are neat old cars. I had a '85 380SE, same body style. It looks like this car has an aftermarket dash cover, mine had one just like it. The dash pads cracked pretty early on these cars. I also had a '84 190D. I loved that diesel sound! I later bought a '88 300SEL (gas) in '09, now that is my moms car and now I have a '93 400SEL (as well as my '12 Honda, '95 Lincoln and my two 70s classics, lol). I still love my Mercedes though, I have not been without one since 2005.

    Grandfather has a 560 SEC that has done 216k miles with an utter lack of consistent maintenance, so a 300SD in moderately well-maintained shape should do 300k easily. Love these older Benzes, the dual bonnet latches are a trip, and when you close it you have to push down on both sides to get them both secured.

      Not if the oil isn’t changed every 3,000 miles and the filters kept clean. And definitely not if the ALDA system isn’t kept in synch with the turbo, transmission, and the vacuum pump. People assume these indestructible engines can be neglected or abused. And they can be. But they sure won’t last. And once you’ve worn out the piston rings or cylinder sleeves your engine is gone! No compression? Your engine is worn out and you’re burning more oil per tank of gas each month than the car is worth!!!

And after a rebore the engine runs like new and can still run another 300.000km before big service on engine. Or some simply just swap the engine with toyota 2L diesel engine or Mitsubishi 4d56 or other Japanese engines such as Isuzu 4jb1 and they can run up to 450.000km average before rebuilt. But out of all engines the Mercedes engine om601 and om616 are the best 4 cylinder diesel
