Got myself a little New Yorker. 41,000 original miles, all original everything. Great on gas. Looks and drives like a new car!! Found it on craigslist for $1,300. Can't wait to get my 66 W200 back together!!. I miss my blue Powerwagon... The 66 has a nice powder coated frame, the body is perfe

It has the 3.0 engine. Landau and Mark Cross edition.
The craigslist ad listed it at $2,000 and I negotiated down to $1,300 because it still had the original tires, hoses, & belt that I knew I'd need to replace.

The onboard computer says it has been getting 19 mpg average. My calculations show 20mpg. I have a bit of a heavy foot yet it is in line with the published estimates which is 16 around town and 24 highway, 19 combined.

It has the digital dash and displays. Everything works properly and is very accurate! Even the clock. I think still I prefer regular gauges like the similar Dynasty but I am happy!
