NO RESERVE Kit Comparisons: http://www.frybrid.com/kittest.htm License: 5TXN709 VIN: WDBAB33A8DB034006 1983 MERCEDES BENZ 300D LOW MILE (232k) TURBO DIESEL CLASSIC - This car has been converted to a vegetable oil two tank system allowing you to use diesel or veggy. It is the premiere Frybrid system www.frybrid.com. It starts on diesel and then when warm AUTOMATICALLY switches to the heated (and baffled to protect against sloshing fuel) veggy oil tank. About 10 seconds before you park you hit the red purge button and it switches back to diesel. This veggy system is designed for those that want their engines to last the very longest and costs approximately $2000 (more with tax and shipping) if you can even get one (check the sites blog! Often months of waiting to get a kit). If you are environmentally conscious, this is the vehicle for you. This car has a neutral carbon footprint. If you are trying to save money on fuel, this is the vehicle for you. This vehicle will pay for itself in a few years in fuel savings alone if you use free WVO. I am including my home filtration system with hand pump, hoses, 55 gallon drum and 10 micron filter. I save about $50 per week using this system, and it feels good to know I am recycling, and leaving no carbon footprint! If you are tired of our dependence on foreign oil imports, this vehicle is for you. This car can be run on pure vegetable oil that is domestically grown and produced. This sedan is very clean inside and out and has only 232k on it, which is very low miles for these cast iron head diesel engines that have been known to go a million miles. It is a Turbodiesel. Description: Light Ivory (Desert sunset Paint or 1623 Hellelfenbein ). The body is in good condition as well. Tires are still under warranty and in good shape and the wider size for better traction. 5-Cylinder, 3.0 liter, single overhead cam, Turbodiesel, 4-speed automatic transmission, power assisted 4-wheel disc brakes, power sunroof, A/C and heat climate control, power windows, central locking (all converted to power locks and power trunk lock to save the hassles of the often breaking original air pressure system in these cars and tied to a clicker so no keys to open doors or trunks!), power steering, cruise control, rear window heater works, alloy wheels, front center folding arm rest, zebrano wood dash trim and console, 2-speed windshield wiper. Exterior Condition: The exterior rubber and chrome are all in good condition. All the glass is in great shape. The front grill is in excellent shape. All trim is in place and in good condition. The overall impression of the exterior is good. Interior Condition: The seats are firm and comfortable and in good shape. The dash is in good shape with no cracks. The carpet is in good condition. The door panels are in good shape. Overall the interior impression on this car is good and comfy. Mechanical Condition: Mechanically this car is very sound. When I first bought it I had a compression test to ensure the engine was healthy and strong. The engine in this car performs nicely with good power and torque. It is a Turbodiesel model and it accelerates well. There are no leaks in the exhaust and it is smooth running at all speeds. The alignment is true with no pulling during braking with no excess play in the steering wheel. The brakes are strong and the suspension is tight and the car handles beautifully. This car has many years of trouble free motoring to come. I would feel confident in this vehicle on a long road trip in its excellent condition. Accessories Condition: All electronics are functioning in the vehicle. All power windows are working properly. The sunroof functions properly and is smooth and strong. The radio and power antenna function properly. The climate control is working properly in the car and the AC blows cold. Lights all work well, along with turn signals, head lights, high beams, fog lights, brake lights, parking lights, reverse lights, license plate lights, etc. All instrument panel gauges function properly except the diesel fuel guage will go off and back on at times. The vacuum system works properly and is not needed for the door locks, trunk lock. Vegetable Oil Conversion: The conversion was done by one of the biggest Frybrid geeks whom I met off their boards. I LOVE THIS CAR!!!! I am moving because of a divorce to a condo with no garage space to filter oil anymore. I will sell my 55 gallon drum filter kit with the car and have to buy a hybrid.
