UP FOR AUCTION IS THIS 1982 MERCEDES BENZ 300D. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AND DROVE IT FOR A WORK CAR DAILY. I WAS TRAVELING ALMOST 100 MILES ROUNDTRIP A DAY, AND THIS CAR WAS AVERAGING A LITTLE OVER 30MPG. I NO LONGER NEED THIS CAR BECAUSE I HAVE A NEW JOB THAT IS 10 MINUTES FROM MY HOME, WHICH MEANS I CAN NOW DRIVE MY TRUCK. I PUT A NEW SET OF TIRES ON IT AFTER I FIRST PURCHASED IT AND THEY ARE STILL IN GOOD SHAPE. THERE IS A BRAND NEW SPARE IN THE TRUNK. I HAVE ALSO JUST PUT A NEW SET OF WIPER BLADES ON IT AS WELL. IT HAS A NEWER RADIO WITH A CD PLAYER THE HEATER WORKS GREAT, BUT THE A/C DOES NOT. THE TWO FRONT WINDOWS WORK, BUT THE BACK ONES DO NOT. THE SUNROOF WORKS. I PUT NEW BRAKE PADS ON THE CAR LAST YEAR, BUT IT NOW FEELS LIKE THE FRONT ROTARS ARE WARPED, AND WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE HEADLIGHTS WORK, BUT THE LENSES ARE BROKE AND I HAVE THEM TAPED TO KEEP THE ELEMENTS OUT. I AM NOT GOING TO PAY $200.00 A SIDE FOR NEW HEADLAMPS. THE MOTOR RUNS FINE, BUT THE TRANSMISSION HAS THE TYPICAL MERCEDES "FLARE" WHICH BASICALLY MEANS IT SLIPS. I JUST MANUALLY SHIFT THE TRANS BETWEEN 2ND AND DRIVE AND IT WORKS FINE. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING IT THIS WAY FROM DAY ONE, AND IT HAS NOT CHANGED AT ALL. THE BODY IS IN DECENT CONDITION AND WAS PAINTED WITH RUSTOLEUM, BUT IT DOES HAVE RUST TOWARDS THE BOTTOM IN PLACES. THE GUY I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM IS A MERCEDES MECHANIC, AND TOOK GOOD CARE OF IT. IF YOU ARE SOMEONE WITH A LITTLE MECHANICAL BACKGROUND, THEN THIS WILL BE A GOOD DEPENDABLE CAR TO HAVE. THIS CAR IS BEING SOLD AS-IS, SOIF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE ASK THEM PRIOR TO BIDDING AND I WILL ANSWER THEM AS QUICKLY AND HONESTLY AS I CAN. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE THIS CAR OR DRIVE IT, YOU CAN CALL ME AT 630-533-9999 AND ASK FOR JERRY.
