Well, My final price was 3300. Remember, that's including all tax, shipping etc... hard to say who has owned it in it's life, but someone took some care of it, and 70K? hardly drove it. My current daily driver is a Euro 300TDT (Turbo diesel Wagon) with 260k on it (OM617). It's a good car but only gets about 28mpg. I've put 30k of those miles on myself. I also have an 87 300D (OM603), new engine, updated to the 94 front, body molding and interior.. it does a little better at 31mpg. Have to pull trans out again, so thinking about going to a 5 speed. Our current winner is my wives 99 e320 7 passenger wagon... It can bring 34mpg. Has full under body belly pans factory. All 3 are big heavy cars. This will be quite a change. I have a paint guy and the car will go straight to him to have the paint fixed, won't cost me but 100 bucks. I can't imagine the rims/wheels help the mpg... may change, just have to see how the car does when it gets here. I will keep a log.
