This Mercedes-Benz 300CD has proven itself an instant classic, and you'll enjoy pulling up and making an impression with this car. I personally have never seen a car with a personality that even comes close to this car's. Every time I have parked this car I have found myself doing one thing over and over again. Once I've walked about 20 or 30 feet it'll turn around and take a second look at the car and marvel at how beautiful it is. Then I remember that the car is mine! It's a great feeling to have over and over again, and with this car you can have that! This car proclaims status and class anywhere it is driven. There aren't many 25 year old cars that you can still drive around this day and still make an impression. This car has a timeless body style which will always have the place in many people's heart no matter where automotive design decides to go in the future. Here is a very rare chance go get a highly desired and very hard to find example of one of the best cars Mercedes-Benz ever made! Up for auction is a 1985 Mercedes-Benz 300CD Turbo Diesel! This 3.0 liter Inline-5 cylinder diesel engine is regarded by most Mercedes-Benz enthusiasts as the best diesel engine ever placed in a Mercedes! You'll really fall in love with this 3.0 liter diesel engine! The mileage on the ad was not a misprint. This car really has 80,064 actual miles on it. Not to mention this car is a diesel! Before we do get into the main description we do need to disclose to you that the car's title is a Texas Reconditioned title. In the car's recent past the car did suffer a light front end collision requiring replacement of the hood, grille and passenger's headlamp. It was totaled rather than repaired by insurance (at the time insurance did not see the collector value of this car). These cars are relatively simple mechanically. This car wasn't equipped with any airbags or other advanced safety systems. Just good German engineering and tough metal which makes a repair very simple! As you can tell from the pictures the damage was repaired and the car had no trouble passing inspection and is good for public roads. In fact it's better than it was because the car was professionally repainted to ensure all paint matched perfectly! You will be getting a Texas Reconditioned title which can be transferred into any state. Most cars from this era are no longer on their original paint anyway. Please don't let any of this take away from the wonderfully well kept condition this car is in. It's very difficult to near impossible to find these cars in this kind of condition now. Now if that wasn't an accomplishment in itself, this car still runs like new! I kid you not. The car's owner had a great standard in caring for the car which has kept it running and looking very nicely! This car still handles like new. The car is incredibly great. This car is at its infancy. Mercedes-Benz diesels have earned a reputation for being some of the most reliable engines ever produced. They're EXPECTED to go 500,000 miles without any major work meaning if you make an effort to keep the car well maintained they can last even longer! You've probably noticed that when you look at the older Mercedes-Benz models you seldomly see the gas engine cars still on the road from the 70s and 80s. For the most part, they're diesels! That should tell you something. The car has never, ever been smoked in! The car has what most people consider to be the best color combination ever offered on one of these cars, Beige on the outside with Beige leather on the inside. The color combination is incredible, and really makes this car look elegant! The exterior finish on this garage-kept car is in very good shape and shines well. The car has been repainted, but given a very professional treatment with no over spray or significant flaws. The clear coat on these cars, no matter how well you take care of them, will eventually fall to age which we believe was the case here. The car's body is straight, no dings to be found. The body lines are straight and true. You'll really be impressed with it! The front lights are in good shape, and the headlight surrounds, grille and bumper rubbers are clean and virtually as new. You'll really be impressed by how nice everything looks on the outside and especially the inside. It's like stepping back into time. This really is the opportunity of a lifetime! What will really impress you is the condition of the car's interior. You'll be amazed by how nice it is! It really is impeccable inside! The seats are still in fantastic condition. Just look at the pictures! The front and rear seats look like they've hardly been used much less been around for 25 years! The car's interior is everything you'd expect for such a low mileage, well preserved car! I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. The trunk has plenty of room for whatever you'd like to place back there with a full sized spare in the back. All the car's features are standard. It came with everything! The power windows, power mirror, works just fine. The power sunroof still works great. It opens and closes quickly! The power vacuum-operated locks work perfectly! You won't be using the power windows much thanks to the car's cold a/c! The heat is also working great! The upgraded Sony in-dash CD stereo works great and provides great sound. The stereo system and speakers were upgraded from their original ones. The Sony stereo has modern USB and auxiliary audio capability! There are no blown speakers! Of course the car's never ever been smoked in! The instrument cluster works just as it should, none of the warning lights remain illuminated on the car. Even the tachometer still functions nicely! You'll really be impressed with the inside of this car! If the looks of the car didn't already impress you, then getting behind the wheel and driving the car will take your breath away! This is where you really see how well this car has really been kept! After driving this car it seems silly to spend big money on a newer one when you can get a quality pre-owned Mercedes that has plenty of character and a highly desired, much more reliable diesel engine for so much less! The glow plugs heat right up, and the diesel fires right to life with a smooth and friendly clatter. The engine accessories turn quietly and work well, with the AC compressor keeping the inside very cool and the alternator keeping the battery well charged. The undercarriage of the car is very clean. Under the hood is very clean. The steering is tight, smooth and easy. The suspension feels to be in good shape. Keeping you snug on the road is a very good set of tires! They are matched to a beautiful set of the original Mercedes-Benz alloy wheels which still look beautiful! You won't have to worry about tires for quite some time with this car! The car provides more comfort than most modern new cars could ever hope to provide! It handles very well. You can tell that this car was maintained to the highest standard and has received only the best care and the most careful driving since it was new. The car simply would not run and handle this well at 25 years old if this wasn't the case! Simply incredible! The 3.0 Liter 5-Cylinder Turbo Diesel engine, while very comfortable and smooth has the ability to get up and go whenever you need it to! You'll be very pleased to know that even while getting incredible gas mileage the car can get up and go when it needs to! The transmission still shifts just as it should. When you need to get this car stopped, the brakes will do it just as they are supposed to do, stopping the car evenly and effectively. You'll be laughing all the way to the bank knowing that you're getting incredible gas mileage with this Diesel sedan, but you'll also love the idea that diesel fuel costs less than unleaded! The fuel costs less, and you use less of it! I wouldn't have it any other way! If you are looking for a safe, strong and very clean W123 diesel sedan with most of the life left in it, this would be an excellent choice. Diesels get excellent fuel economy while delivering smooth power and legendary engine life. This one feels solid, quiet and tight at highway speeds as a Mercedes should, and is a joy to drive around town. If kept on a proper schedule of regular maintenance, this car will deliver another 300,000 miles or more without requiring anything more than routine service. With all that said you might ask, "well, how much?". We honestly don't know what to ask for this car because there really isn't anything quite like this on the market so we can't price the car accordingly.
