Why would you want to buy a 30-40 year old car for "reliability"? I had a friend who ran a European car shop, I worked for him 10 years ago. Those Mercedes are anything but reliable in this day and age. Most of the diesels are hard starters because of low compression and worn out injectors/pumps. They need plugged in at all times. Stupidly, the power brakes, the power door locks, HVAC, and engine shut off are all powered by vacuum, on a diesel that doesn't male any vacuum. They have a vacuum pump to supply the vacuum, but most of them the diaphragm is ruptured, or the car has so many vacuum leaks from rotten lines that it will not shut off except by opening the hood and pushing the manual stop. They leave a puddle of oil wherever they are parked. A 300TD is the minimum that would be enjoyable to drive, the lower models are slugs. A 240D is by far the slowest car I have ever driven, we had a long grade leaving the shop, it took that car almost 2 miles of WOT to hit 45mph.

I've already drilled the center of the bolt out with about 7/64" drill bit the entire length of the bolt. Only one end of the bolt is visible.
