1985 was the last year Mercedes built the gorgeous 123 series turbo diesel coupe . They made these legendary cars between 1978 and 1985 , but only for the last 4 years with the turbo . They are known to be the most reliable and enduring cars Mercedes ever produced . You often find them with over 500k miles and still running well . This particular car was finished in light blue metallic with dark blue MB-Tex interior . It is a gorgeous color combination and i do get compliments on it all the time . The body is in great shape . There are no dings or dents and the paint still shines like on a much newer car . There are only 133k miles on the car and the interior is very clean as well . There are no rips or tears in the seats and the carpets are clean . Even the wood accents are still in great condition . The radio is still the original one , but it does not come on anymore . I meant to install a newer unit with bluetooth , but i did not get around to it yet . The car drives terrific . It has always been maintained well and it shows . Just recently we installed a new AC compressor and concerted the system to the bewer freon . The AC blows nice and cold . The motor for the sunroof is new as well and the sunroof works the way it should . All the power windows are working fine . This 300CD always starts up right away , has plenty of power and the transmission shifts smooth . It really is a blast to drive in town and even more so on the freeway . On a recent trip from Northern California to Los Angeles i was cruising at 85 miles per hour while getting 27mpg of diesel . This car was built for long-distance driving . I would drive it from here to New York and back at a moments notice . This car would be perfect for somebody who would like a classic car that you can drive every day without the hassles usually associated with older cars . They just do not make em like this anymore . You could drive this car for 10 years and if you take care of it , you will still get at least your money back . If you have any questions , feel free to send me a note through Ebay and i will get back to you shortly . I would prefer to sell this car locally to somebody who could actually come out and see it . But i would also be willing to help with a airport pick up ( LAX)  or shipping arrangements for out of town buyers . Please have your funding in order and do all your " due diligence" BEFORE placing a bid . This is a wonderful 30 year old car in great condition and it will be sold WITHOUT a warranty " as is " and " where is " . I did upload many extra pictures and they can describe the car better than i can . For any more questions or extra pictures , please ask . Thank you for looking at my auction . Good Luck !!
