This might be the lowest mileage 123 series Mercedes wagon in the country . There are only 99,412 well maintained miles on it since new . This gorgeous Mercedes wagon was sold new in Sacramento /CA in 1983 . In 2001 , when the original owner passed away his widow sold it to the second owner in Orange County /CA . He sold the car to a gentleman from Maine in 2005 and purchased it back from him in 2007 . The car still has the original paint on every panel and it still shines like on the first day . It was finished in Taiga Beige ( MB color code 684 ) with palomino color MB-tex interior . This car was always parked in a garage and it shows . It has never been in any kind of accident and there are dings or dents on it . The body and the paint are in truly amazing condition for an almost 30 year old car . The interior is very clean as well , as the many pictures will show . The carpets are clean , there are no rips or tears in the seats and even the wood panels are in great condition . I took many pictures , if you need to see something specific , please send me a note and i will send it . This car has been very well maintained and i have the books and receipts to show it . A new transmission was installed in 2009 with 93k miles .Together with the complete 90k mile service and new drive shaft axles this bill came to $3900,- . The work was done by Silver Star Motors in Escondido CA . This car shifts and accelerates like a Mercedes diesel with a very low mileage should . There are no strange noises of any kind . It always starts up right away and it is not slow at all . All the instruments work the way they should . All the windows , the door locks and even the original radio with the power antenna still function well . This car would be perfect for a collector . There are just not that many 123 series wagons with less than 100k miles around anymore . They are often on Ebay with 300k -400k miles and still running well . This wagon would also be a perfect family car for somebody who wants to drive it every day . If you keep maintaining this car like it has been maintained , you should be good for the next 30 years . It would also be a perfect candidate for Bio diesel conversion . This way you could drive it on vegetable oil or even free waste oil from restaurants . I have never tried it , but with gasoline prices where they are today , it sounds like a good idea . I would prefer to sell this car to somebody local , who could actually come out and see it / inspect it BEFORE the auction ends . But i would also try to be helpful with shipping or a airport pick up . All shipping charges would have to be paid by the buyer . If you have any questions or would like to make an appointment , feel free to send me a note and i will respond quickly and honestly .Please ask any questions BEFORE placing a bid . This is a wonderful , gorgeous , well maintained and original 30 year old car and it will be sold "as is" , " where is " and without a warranty . Thank you for looking at my auction and good luck ...
