[Vwdiesel] M Benz 300D ?

[mikitka]

Well it cost me $340 to have my K14 turbo rebuilt 3 years ago by a place in
Tx. As far as removing it and having it fixed and then installing it
shouldn't be much of an issue. I'm not familiar with MB.

Here in Grass Valley/Nevada City, CA, our local radio station runs a "swap
shop' in the afternoon where listeners can call in with things for sale.
One listener called in with a 1985 M Benz 300 STD with a turbo that needs
replacement. Said car had 300,000 miles. No price listed, only best offer. I
have not called the party or looked at the car. Just wondering what the
price of a new or rebuild turbo would be? How much work would be involved
for a DIY shade tree mechanic to replace the turbo? Would it be cheaper, &
practical to find a non turbo exhaust manifold & install? No price was
listed, only best offer,  but wondering whether to offer $200 or even take
it for free, which sometimes happens? It's not a VW but I know some of you
know about Mercedes diesels too.
