Vehicle Detail
1979 Mercedes Benz 300D Diesel sedan - VIN# 12313012114024 Mileage: ~108k Exterior: #MB867 (Caledonia Green) Interior: Parchment MB Tex Automatic transmission Naturally aspired (non-turbo) ~30 mpg Clean California title Registration good until 2/2017 Excellent use as parts car You may not have seen this factory color combination before as it is very rare. I assume that you are already familiar with the W123 chassis and the bullet-proof Mercedes-Benz 5-cylinder 3.0L Diesel engine. These engines are known to last several 100k miles. This car shows 173,481 kilometers on the odometer which equals to 107,796 miles. Please note: This car is still driven so the actual mileage will be slightly higher than listed. Please read the entire description, look at the photos, and contact me for a test drive before considering to buy this car. This car was very nice not too long ago: http://media.collectorcarpricetracker.com/auction_data/2013/1/3/140900703722/140900703722.pdf Normally these cars increase in value over time but in this example the beauty has faded quite a bit and hence the lower selling price. As I stated before, you should see the car for yourself because I cannot list all the dings and dents. Here is how I would describe the car to the best of my abilities. Good: - Only 108K miles - Rare MB color combination (Caledonia Green / Parchment) - Strong engine - Engine starts with no problems - Smooth shifting transmission - Drives good - Glass is good. Windshield was recently replaced - From far away the car looks decent Not so good: - The battery light is on (The car drives fine despite the light. I don't know what is wrong with it) - After washing the car with a hose or if it rains hard, there will be water in the foot area - The car is equipped with a sunroof but because of the leak it was sealed off. Unfortunately this did not fix the leak :-( - The car smells (on wet days more than on dry days) - The car loses some drops of oil after driving - Various rust spots. Bubbling paint - Lose moldings - The seat belt light comes on intermittently - The passenger side front and rear windows don't work - A/C not working - Heat not working - Turn signal works only manually (relay needs replacement) - The brakes squeal occasionally and therefore you should have the brakes inspected Bad: - Front tires are worn and must be replaced The car is sold as-is with no warranties or guarantees of any kind. Please contact me to make an appointment for a visual inspection or a test drive. Local pick-up only, no shipping!! Thanks for looking!
