Thanks for looking at my 83 Benz. This car is the 123 body which was the most popular model ever made by Mercedes and has the 5 cylinder 3-liter diesel engine with a turbocharger. I have owned it personally since 2006 and drove it almost every day. It was run extensively on biodiesel and runs well on it. I have recently purchased my first new car in many years and something has to go. Sadly it is the benz. I will try to describe it as accurately as possible and if you have questions don't hesitate to contact me. I will list the bad items first then the good. The bad The odometer never worked while I have owned the car so the mileage is higher than what shows. There is peeling in the clearcoat so it could be shinier.Only starts in neutral. (this may be a minor adjustment) The drivers seat has a hole in the back cushion (covered by the seat cover in the pics) Rear power windows do not quite go to the top on there own, they must be helped. Power antenna works but isn't hooked to the radio for activation. (a good radio installer could probably hook it up) Air conditioning works but leaks badly so is not charged. Cruise control doesn't work.Crack in windshield.Tear in headliner. The good I replaced the motor last year with a low mileage one from a wrecked car. Runs very well.Tires were purchased by me and have about 60% left on them. Has a good spare. Has a nice stereo -cd player. Comes with a set of regulators and motors for the back power windows. I have a replacement speedometer to fix the odometer issue that comes with it. I have a number of other miscellaneous. extra parts that will also go with it. When we replaced the engine we also replaced the AC compressor but it hasn't been charged up. If the price goes high enough (don't ask) I will replace the windshield The body on this car is exceptionally straight and it has minimal dings etc. Very good for a car of this vintage. I installed a new 6-year battery last week. I'm sure I may have missed something so just ask any questions you want answered.
