***RARE*** 1978 MERCEDES BENZ 240D DIESEL. ORIGINAL OWNER CAR. LOW 109,998 MILES. CAR RUNS AND DRIVES BUT SEEMS UNDERPOWERED. I PERSONALLY DROVE IT AND IT WOULD RUND GREAT DOWN THE ROAD THEN SPUTTER AND LOSE POWER, THEN IT WOULD ONLY GO 20-30 MPH, THEN IT WOULD CLEAR UP AND RUN NORMAL AGAIN. THE BATTERY IS BRAND NEW BUT IS DEAD, SO THAT MIGHT BE A PROBLEM. THE CAR IS GREAT CONDITION FOR 1978, THE INTERIOR IS ALL ORIGINAL AND GREAT. THE BODY IS GOOD, WITH NO VISIBLE RUST. THE ORIGINAL COLOR WAS GREEN, THE OWNER DID SOME BODYWORK IN THE DRIVERS 1/4 PANEL AND THEN PAINTED IT TAN. IT ALSO HAS THE GREAT MOONROOF OPTION. THIS IS AN ORIGINAL OWNER CAR WITH THE ORIGINAL 1978 NY TITLE. AND THE BEST PART.....THE OWNERS NAME IS MERCEDES. THIS CAR IS LOCATED IN UPSTATE NEW YORK, ZIP CODE 12487. PLEASE EMAIL ME IF YOU NEED ADDITIONAL PICTURES OR TO SET UP A TIME AND DAY TO INSPECT IT. THIS CAR IS SOLD AS IS, WHERE IS WITH NO WARRANTY.

I HAD IT UP ON THE LIFT TODAY TO CHECK IT OUT. THERE IS RUST ON THE FRONT ROCKER PANELS ON EACH SIDE AROUND THE DRAIN HOLE FOR THE MOONROOF. THE ENTIRE CAR LOOKS TO HAVE FACTORY UNDERCOATING ON IT FROM FRONT TO BACK SO IT IS HARD TO TELL IF ANY RUST IS UNDERNEATH THE UNDERCOATING, IT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE IT. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE RUST BY THE MOONROOF DRAIN HOLES IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS MODEL CAR. IN THE TRUNK AREA I DO NOT SEE ANY VISIBLE RUST. THANK YOU AND GOOD LUCK
