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've always loved these diesel Mercedes W126 vehicles ever since my grandmother's 300SDL

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!!

Superb! There is NOTHING to beat these 5 cylinder engines! Keep 'em coming!

Wow, these old Benz's will never die, with enough care and maintenance these will last forever !

Love these cars man, good job on the videos

A nice car, sympathetically reviewed and a good, steady camera. A pleasure to watch ,

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.

I love the classic Mercedes just about as much as I like they are both unique in their own way.

Beautiful car man. Happy trails!

Aw I was jamming out to that song

this was when Mercedes actually had quality and reliability

just bought one... it should be under way to Europe shortly. 257 K miles, and some wear n tear... but all round great driver. up and down a bunch of CO mountains (the rockies) last week and it just kept going. love it cant wait to drive it up an Alp...

wooohoo, finally, a diesel car making an apearance on your channel!!! I like diesels, i wish they sold more of them here in north america! They seem to last for freaking ever!!!

My 1983 has over 300,000 miles and it’s cleaner than this thing! Those seats are trashed. And super EXPENSIVE to replace/repair. Seems to run well enough. The W126 is a magnificent car. 1984 was the first year of memory seats.

My aunt had that model and year. She drove it a very long time, and it always looked " brand new"!

now that's one great video i mean all of kyle's videos are great

A nice vid. Steady camera work and good commentary.. I would buy this car.

Mercedes driver for 2.5 years, AND HOOKED. If this car were for sale, I'd buy it!

LOL, The dash is cracked for sure. If you pause at 2:42 you can see the popular aftermarket dash cover coming up. :) I bought one of these! Great car!

Nothing so beautiful as an old diesel mercedes .. just love that sound

it nails... the right sound for old mercedes diesels... all i wanna do is have some fun :)

its not only beautiful but big and luxurious

engine sounds epic

Nice! Thanks! Im a sucker for old German autos. Next time you see a Mercedes or BMW, check out the windsheild wipers on them, they are double jointed on one side to get a better sweep. This one has a weird wiper set up too, check it out if you can.

I have one with 132k miles, and I love that tank.

I have a 1982 with 278K - still runs perfect with original transmission

The car was speaking to you when that song came on lol

Makes me miss my old 300SD :(

But the late 70 or early 80s are better in style than the new cars

starts perfect :-)

It goes back to idle really fast. My parents used to have one of these but it wasn't a diesel. Older Mercedes are well-known for their bouncy seats lol.

Looks in great condition for a car of that age and mileage

Gotta love that sound mtygrandpa has a 98 turbodiesel and its awesome

What a great caddylack!

Sound is really nice, like a Truck.

So cool!

This is my dream car.

Perfect song for a bouncy old Benz lol

You say you're "not going to rev this one too much....got that high mileage"...??? Dude, this car is just getting broke in good at 216,000; that engine sounds perfect and very strong! I have a 1982 300D with a lot more miles than that and it is still going strong. Yours has plenty of life left.

Hey this looks almost exactly like mine. Any Ideas on how to repair the interior wood finish? I am working on restoringmine. It is certainly a tank of a car!

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.

beautiful

I've got this car in my backyard! Same color, but mine is from 1980!

nice video!!!

3:15 And remember, respect is everything!

I wouldn't have hesitated to buy that. The OM617 comes from good stock. Bred from MB commercial truck engines designed for 500k service.

like the old tune of the good old diesel

you have an awesome school bus

just my seeing the ziptie around the steering column tells me its at an auction... or insurance sell. wonder how much it went for

hi kyle, your videos are cool.....!!!

the buzzer sounds like the emergency alert thing on TV!

How about the 280 SE and 600? None of them came as diesel options, both are S-Classes and both were sold in the US too.

@maurigian1 When was a 1984 Cadillac Deville's interior flashy? It may have some chrome but thats it.

I miss that diesel noise. I had an 85 300cd.

Can you make more videos of cars with diesel engine? I know that's not popular in America, but it's interesting. Is in the US any european car with diesel engine in sale?

What a pretty big body merc

She's a noisey old beast but it will run forever! :)

Next time you go to auction, would you please put a lot of cars into one video, like everything in the row?

i like old mb :) ... my first car will be an old mb that's for sure... i will go to germany and buy one of that...

Is it really that loud? Sounds like a rod knock? But some ones selling one in my area just checking out videos of this car

@zech007 I had that car, the only issue was to clean the gas tank from the inside cus it was full with rost :) the hard part of the work was to figurate it out what the car need:) it is a good car tough, I loved it..oh and one time the key (starter key) was stock in tho lock so I had to change the complete part, cost me about 350 dollar plus tax also 420.

cool car

I am about to buy one of these for $500 (cdn) Current owner is an older gentleman who doesn't worry about money, he just wants it to go to a good home. I don't need another car but you wouldn't pass it up either, would you?

Hey there, i just bought a used 1982 300sd turbo diesal ! Its in pretty good condition And the last reported odometer reading is 291,067. I absolutely love this car, but i went and put diesel in and the fuel gauge stopped working. Its just above "R" and won't move another except for down when i shut off the car. Any idea of how i could fix this?

+Charis Abrams Usually the gauges themselves are pretty reliable so the most likely problem is that the sender in the tank has developed a pinhole in the float and so has sunk. I don't think a sender will cost much even new...

216,000 miles. That ain't much at all. Not even halfway broken in. Those 5 and 6 cylinder mb diesels are bullet proof. Hopefully it's living a cared for life. She still purrs like a kitten. That mb diesel note is a eargasm, just absolute music

Nice car that diesel is loud. That look like a nice 96 Vette next to it.

@DjEndurancE Yes, 5 speed manual was available iirc.

it has the newer wheels, i did that too my 85 also, makes it look newer

awesome video, i wish i could afford a car dealer license.

Its funny that they put that stereo in a car like that!

It looks really strange with the sealed beam lamps, they were one big lamp on the UK models

I have 500,000 miles on my 300SD. I wouldnt be scared to rev the most reliable diesel put into production.

@mabdiuhrman they still do, at least in the E-Class

I've taken a part one of these engines

is this for sale? and if so, where is it located?

Just got one today for $400 in decent shape. Was thinking about selling it but now I want to keep it

What a beauty! That's nothing for mileage on a diesel, it's like brand new.

Actually, the diesel versions were only sold here and in Canada.

216k is nothing on this beauty. Should go AT LEAST 700k if the body holds up.

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!!!

@@closer71 in my country we have Mercedes 190d taxi and some have 1.3 million km which I believe is around 800.000km. in my country we re bore the engine and put larger piston or we call it Oversize. 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

My mother has a 2009 gl 450 and I want saabkyle to make a review of it

We have the Diesel version here in the UK, actually something like 75% of all new cars sold in the UK now are diesel....

Did they ever make this car in a standard transmission?

Why does that not have the proper headlights fitted? is that a car auction?

you HAVE to test drive one of these lol

saabkyle04,you're great! =)))

My cousin has a filtering system for used cooking oil instead of diesel. Fuel doesn't cost him a penny in this thing.

there was a corvette next to it an old but still nice benz the alarm sounds like bee
