I owned the sedan, same color. It had 275k when I sold it. Trap was already removed. Om603 had head cracking issues. MB addressed this with redesigned heads that did not crack...but it was too late and the om603 didn't live !
I'm contemplating buying a 87 300E turbo diesel wagon w 200k miles on it. I recently traded a 88 300E my first mbz which I really enjoyed driving but couldn't get it to pass smog for a 93 Ford escort wagon and it's so uncomfortable!
the 300d and 300td mostly came with gassers or the om617, 3 liter 5 cylinder turbo diesel. in 1987 Mercedes used their om603 3 liter 6 cylinder turbo diesel. the om603 is less common than the om617 but can be found in other models.

As a wagon enthusiast (currently a VW JSW TDI owner), my dream car is a w123 or 124 E class wagon.
The best camera view ever
I'd buy that in a minute. Owned 2, never should have sold them. I'm building a '97 G320 into a G500D right now. it will be one of 3 in the US.
I have 87 300td. Maroon interior. Few in US
That’s a really nice w124
What a beauty
I have one of these as well, wonderful cars
Wonderful Mercedes Benz ❤️
What a beauty! Do you have any idea of how many 1987 300D Turbo sedans were sold?
Just bought a yellow 1987 td turbo wagon from a guy in Portland in similar condition.

very nice
Is the 1987 engine different than the one in my 1992 300d 2.5t? That one sounds way different
Yes. The 87 300D was a one year variant of the OM603.
3.0 turbo from factory.

6 cylinder om603 3l
Did this year have airbags ?
Is it still for sale ?
Can be used as a daily with kids?
