For sale via the auction method and with NO RESERVE (starting at a penny) is my 1985 Mercedes Benz 300CD Coupe Turbo Diesel with 234,000 miles. This is an exceptionally well kept vehicle with only minor issues commensurate with age and miles. It has:New Mercedes Benz wheelsNew Michelen TiresNew A/C condenser Fan (blows nice and cold)New AlternatorNew Exhaust from turbo to tailpipe with resonator (sounds like a MBZ diesel should)Great BatteryNo cracks in any of the glassNo cracks in the Zebrano Wood trimNo cracks in the dashTrunk is dry and rust freeFresh check over by MBZ specialist to make sure car is ready to goNonsmokerFROM THE TECH...Front suspension is in good shape, Steering is in good shape with no worn components, Sunroof motor activates but does not open (typical for this vintage MBZ) Struts are worn and will need new brake pads (20% life remaining according to tech) Shifts very well and runs out well.All gauges work properlyTurn signals were working when brought to Repair shop but are not working now. May be a switch.Windows go up and downVacuum is strong, Engine shuts off quickly and locks go up and down smoothlyPaint appears to be original and has the standard MBZ striations, looks like it has passed too closely to bushes, this is also common for this vintage MercedesDeer hit the car on passenger side and wrinkled the front fender and door (see pics, hard to see as damage is slight)A few rust areas shown in pics but jack ports are clean and rust freeEuro Headlight set up but still have originalsSheep skin seat cover for driver seat is included but now shown in picsSteering wheel isn't sticky or loose. I have had numerous MBZ's in my life, most of them diesels and this is one of the nicest and my second coupe. The sedans will always be standard fare for many and the wagons seem to have had their 15 years of fame. Now the coupe is the up and coming star of the 123 body style. Definitely a daily driver with just a few standard repairs as mentioned above. Could be a biodiesel candidate also, but with diesel as cheap as it is, I'd just leave it as is. I can ship this vehicle to you for $1.25 per loaded mile up to 500 miles one way. OR just come and drive it home. I am available buy phone. 270 872 7507 Please feel free to call. Set your alarms for Sunday evening and get ready to bid to buy as this is a no reserve auction starting at one penny and will sell to the highest bidder in only 5 DAYS!!!
