One of my cars is also a Benz 300SD but mine is an 81 model, sobrang tipid nga nyan, its even more fuel efficient than my other Benz which is an 82 300D W123 body. Nung unang gamit ko sa 300SD kala ko sira yung fuel gauge until sinubukan ko pa full tank, I realized na konti lang talaga consumo ng diesel.

Another nice thing about old Benzes is that they're so old that depreciation is non existent with these cars, in fact ang taas nga ng bentahan ng mga Diesel Benzes these days.
