I recognized that instantly as a Mercedes 240D oil pan. Many is the time I climbed under my old 240D for that task. Speaking of Mercedes Diesels, my favorite leading economic indicator - the E300 on eBay - is showing that those beautiful 1999 E300s aren't moving. I am really beginning to appreciate deflationary mentalities. The longer I wait, the better the price I will get. I still take a look at the 240Ds with manual transmissions. They come along every now and then on eBay. Thing is yo will pay around $5K for a good one. You can get a solid 1995 E300 for $6K, so it doesn't make sense. I really miss my old 240D.
