I have a 1985 Mercedes Benz 300cd. A W123 Platform. 3.0L inline 5 cylinder turbo diesel. Car runs great. Automatic. Has approx 212,000 miles. These were known as Mercedes best diesel engine ever built. many have hit well over 500,000 miles. Engine fires up after first cycle of glow plugs on the coldest mornings. I have not owned this car long. I have about 6 other cars, I hate to see this sit in my driveway in the weather. It is a coupe. Anyone who knows anything about these cars knows its hard to find a 2 door 300 diesel. Transmission shifts well and does NOT flare between shifts like some are known to do. I have put a new battery in it. The car will need an oil pan gasket, it leaks some, But is a very very very easy job. Pan does drop right out of the bottom of the car, clear of obstructions. The mono valve needs rebuilt. 19.95 for the rebuild part on PEACHPARTS.COM. This is a great classic car.
