Vehicle Detail
What I have here for sale is a 1998 E320 gas wagon to diesel conversion. The 1998 & 99 E300td estate wagon was never sold in the USA. This vehicle was sold in Europe and utilized the coveted Mercedes Benz OM 606.962 power plant. This motor was the last of the Fuel Pump injected diesels before diesels went common rail so they can still run on straight vegetable oil. (not possible with common rail motors). These motors are 6 cylinder inline with 4 valves per cylinder. This motor is unstoppable and bullet proof. I spent over $15,000 upgrading a 93 g-wagen to this same engine. I purchased this car last year anticipating weekly drives between S.F. Ca and Seattle Washington. But have decided to fly the route instead. This is a 1999 E320 station wagon that has been professionally converted to a turbo diesel by means of a donor 1999 E300turbo Diesel sedan. The turbo diesel was purchased with 80k on it, it had been hit from behind. The entire driveline, gauges and electronics are E300td. The station wagon came with 130k on it with a blown motor. If you regular PointedThree.com plz mention this vehicle. I know of only one other wgn to diesel conversion here in the USA. This vehicle was converted and licensed as a diesel in Sacramento California. Currently the car is in San Francisco Ca with Washington title and reg. The shop that did the conversion is an exceptional shop which I now take many of my cars to. The converter spared no expense on the conversion and made sure that every bushing, bearing and line was new i.e. improved when I bought it 13,000 miles ago. Everything under the hood appears as perfect as any garage stored and pampered car can be. The front end is absolutely tight. This car is exceptional. It currently gets around 35mpg hiway. I had lent it to my 72 yr old mother to drive for the last 10k miles. The car does not rattle, shimmy , pull or anything. It drives flawlessly. The exterior of the car could use a clear coat on the hood and roof of car, there is a rip in the drivers seat, and a slight dent in the rear deck lid that is hardly noticeable. Everything in the cabin operates as intended. Heated seats, mechanical drink holder, power everything as most E classes are. Brakes are new, tires are very good, A.C. blows cold, cruise conrol is fine, radio / cd changer is good. Power seats, airbags, extra rear jump seat, the list goes on. Rubber floor mats and bed mat, this car is great ! My wife is currently driving this car, though you can schedule an inspection if so inclined. This is your chance to get around the $30,000 D.O.T. import conversion. Car resides in San Francisco. Please contact me with any questions. Happy Bidding.
