1984 Mercedes-Benz

300 D Sedan

Automatic

Diesel

1984 300D Turbo Diesel, (It has installed a professional conversion to run on Bio diesel SVO or WVO. It has the best of 2 Worlds it can run on regular Diesel, Bio-diesel, SVO – (straight vegetable oil) or WVO – (waste vegetable oil) or any blend of the above so you don’t have to worry about fuel prices any longer. With a properly converted Mercedes Benz (special injector’s tips, stronger pop pressure, longer glow plugs, 12v instant heater, auxiliary electric fuel pump to name a few) the fuel price increases won’t be affecting you for the next 20 years or more (expected life of this car, if properly maintained) because you can Drive it for practically FREE, if you decide to make your own Bio Diesel or use WVO, and you don’t have to worry about fuel shortages, with this car you are NOT depending on the oil companies at all, a BIG plus over the Hybrid cars, because even the best Hybrids have to use gasoline and are quite expensive to repair. These Mercedes Diesel cars typically get close to 30 MPG…….but on homemade bio diesel or used veggie oil who cares, it runs for almost free, yes for almost FREE just make a few collection trips to your friendly free fuel supplier (Restaurant or Bar) if you use WVO or make your own Bio Diesel. Be careful with some conversions that only ruin the engine in less than 20,000 miles! And this is a proven fact. Converted by a Mercedes Benz Certified Technician at a Mercedes only shop (records included). A similar conversion by ELSBETT is done for around $2,000.00 - $2,500.00 (this includes the kit and installation) depending on the car model and engine type (please check the http://www.elsbett.com web site), this European company has been converting diesel engines to run on one tank system for more than 20 years they also manufacture engines to run exclusively on SVO. To sum up everything below, the car looks really nice and is mostly original. It runs very well you won’t believe how economical this car is, would make an excellent daily driver, remember with the rising price of fuel this car will very soon pay for himself on a couple of years or less. I am not a mathematician or a genius, but if I buy a new car let’s assume my monthly payment will be around $300 - $500.00 for 36 - 60 months depending of the Total car price plus interest, (obviously not counting the “down” payment or the “trade in allowance” for my used car, and the insurance premiums) but if I buy a good condition used Diesel Mercedes I find very difficult to spend $300.00 to $500.00 per month for 36 or 60 months on repairs or maintenance, besides that the more I drive the car the more I save, comparing the diesel price at the pump. NOT taking into consideration if I want I can make my own bio diesel or use WVO and the car can be driven for practically free. If you are reading this auction description, chances are you are looking to buy a car or just comparing fuel mileage cost or fuel alternatives on the long run. You can buy a brand new car and get in debt for years or drive a classic with style and high standards of safety that only Mercedes Benz can offer, for practically nothing. The decision is up to you.
