A classic 1985 Mercedes-Benz 300 SD Turbo Diesel (body style 126). This Benz is rust free and has only one small wrinkle in the molding above the left rear quarter panel where the bumper curves around the car (See picture: 23). This classic has all the standard MB features that you expect in a MB of this class. All options are in working order except for the cruise control. The original MB silver paint started to fade and the entire car was repainted with metallic bright silver (2006). The original stereo unit has been replaced with a Pioneer AM/FM/CD player with remote. AC blows cold air. The tires have approximately 90% tread left. The seats have the wear of a car 27 years old and does have some tears. The front seats have cloth covers covering the leather. The carpeting is in good shape and has floor mats. The dash has a dash cover. This is my daily driver and has not given me any problems. My most recent road trip was to San Antonio, Texas (1,300 miles round trip). The car is a dream on the interstates and I averaged 28 mpg without any problems. In the past 30,000 miles to the present mileage the following new parts and repairs have been made. 30,000 Miles 15,000 Miles 2,000 Miles Neutral Safety SwitchBackup Light SwitchOil Filler CapBrake RotorsBrake PadsBrake Wear SensorFan ClutchBilstein Shock AbsorbersTurbo Rebuild (Gaskets and Seals)Timing ChainValve Cover GasketsMotor MountsTransmission Filter and Fluid5 Glow PlugsThermostatAll BeltsAC Converted to 134A, Most of the AC Components Replaced Upper and Lower Front-end BushingsBall Joints2 Upper Control Arms2 Lower Control Arm BushingsSteering ArmCenter Link2 Tie RodsAll Exhaust Hangers ReplacedCoolant ReservoirRadiator CapNew Coolant Hood Pad2 Flex DiscsDrive Shaft Support BearingDifferential Support Bushing and BracketAll Filters and Motor OilBrake Dust Covers Inside of WheelsTires Balanced and RotatedFront End Aligned3rd Brake Light
