THE OVERVIEW Offered for an appreciating new owner is this clean classic 1982 Mercedes Benz 300D W123 chassis Turbodiesel sedan! Finished in creme yellow over saddle tan leather, this 99.9% rust-free CALIFORNIA GEM has been driven just over 116.200 miles. [NOTE: The odometer has recently been functioning intermittently so the official actual mileage is unknown!] It sports a great running turbo diesel engine mated to the factory 4 speed automatic transmission, electric sunroof and windows, factory alloy wheels with good Michelin tires, updated CD stereo and more. It is being sold with clear and clean Nevada title,and is a GREAT value here for about the cost of the sales tax alone on a new, quickly depreciating E class Benz! THE BODY AND TRIM The exterior of this car is in VERY GOOD 99.99% RUST-FREE DRY AND CLEAN CONDITION THROUGHOUT! The paint finish sports a very good overall shine with a few expected rock nicks,scuffs scratches, mismatched color, one cracked hood louver and other light cosmetic blemishes one would expect on a 34 year-old vehicle. THE INTERIOR As I hope is articulated in the photos here, the interior of this 1982 Benz is in good to very good quite original condition overall. The upholstery shows some wear and tear with nice headliner and dash, original loop carpeting and nice classic wood trim. The tachometer and horn are currently inoperative and the a/c is not blowing cold. THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE This classic Benz starts perfectly and runs VERY WELL with respectable acceleration crisp shifting transmission [second gear is now slipping a bit], solid, secure and straight braking, responsive steering feel, straight, shimmy-free excellent tracking suspension. This is a still solid and smooth cruiser! THE DETAILS AND $$$$ 1. This 1982 MERCEDES BENZ is being sold with clear and clear Nevada title. It is smog-exempt here in California.
