WORST/BEST Mercedes-Benz Ever! 1985 300CD Turbo Diesel 

Figured that out shortly after filming. We felt pretty stupid because of it haha.

I feel your pain. Very disturbing, the things some people do to cars lol

With a string of poorly versed and neglectful owners which doesn't seem to end.... Quite amazing, it survives in spite of that

That thing will live forever with proper maintenance, very sad that some people ruin it like that

It took longer than it should have, but eventually we figured out reverse haha They’re great cars, I’d like to get another, but in better condition.

.223 is not an assault rifle round. It's a beefed up .22 ..223 is considered a medium powered round.

Glad others picked up on this dumb comment.

@@tooties545 .223 rounds are used in lots of military guns. But that doesent mean its a huge or powerfull bullet. Its also used in many hunting rifles for medium sized game (like seals etc) It is litterally the cheapest bullet you can buy that is still in production. (Some old surplus might be cheaper for now) Often used for target practice too because of the cheap ammo. But yeah its not a very powerful or fast bullet... I bought a 22-250 instead. A much faster and deadly round. But far more expensive too. It can burn your barrel so its not great for target practice .... :)

@@joshuanorris5860 those weren't bullets they were extra fuses in case the bolt blew

It did end up going to a good home. They really are wonderful vehicles.

it's not "trying to turn" its being turned by the air rushing through sucked through radiator/condenser from the other side by belt-driven cooling fan.

Sadly sold awhile ago... wish kept it.

Yes, thank you. We eventually figure out the weird push/pull thingy. Guess it's stuff like that that makes these cars so interesting to own.

Nope, just the oposite. Grab the knob and pull up.

it was down in the w204, up in the w201, i'm pretty sure one old s-class had a ring thing. they did stick with the one stalk to rule them all thing right? the w204 i drove had a manual but still retained the kick-down button. that's when you know how weird it is driving with the proportionality of an auto throttle with a clutch. but yes, quirky all over.

We finally made it!!!!!!!!!

If it is in pristine condition, it may be a good investment. If it has been or will be a daily driver, than $4k is way too much. It is a classic car, so you can't expect it to be anything besides a money pit. Good luck, definitely would be cool to daily drive.

if it really has 170K on it, it's a steal. Unfortunately, the odometers break easy and the whole unit is easily exchanged... so unless it can be documented as true mileage I would lean that it has twice that... Mine currently has 320k and still runs like new. if car is in good condition 4k means it's a free car.... you could drive it for 10 years and get all your money back out of it if you wanted.

The rarest of the coupes.... and 85 with a 4 speed manual.... restored it would be worth good money. 1,291... thats the total production number of the 85 coupe for the entire world both manual and auto combined.... let that sink in...

Sounds awesome. I believe the factory HP for these was

Such a shame this one took such abuse. They really are cool rides, and I love that pillar-less coupe look.

That sounds like a great project. This one was sold, but I'd love to get another one. Hopefully one in better shape lol

Brett Robinson 😂

The older they get, the cooler they become! I'm keeping my eyes out for another one, but hopefully in better shape lol

@@theonomicsbuilds6133 well... Good luck!
