A very solid rust free 1975 300D. This belonged to a friend of mine who was the second owner and stopped driving it in around 1999. Recently the car went through a major service, all new fluids, belts and hoses. New top of the line Bosch battery. All new glow plugs, filters etc. I'm a BMW person and never owned a Mercedes or know anything about Mercedes but this car runs like a tank. It starts everytime rain or shine cold or hot. It doesn't leak or burn any oil the miles I have driven. The odo meter does not work and so I can't tell how many miles it has or I will be lying to you. The blower fan works but I can't get the air conditioning fan to come on. The temp gauge works also but the fuel gauge does not work. I have not taken to a mechanic to have these checked. I'm not putting any more money into it. It could use new tires before you drive it off too far. Otherwise the car is ready to travel and what a joy it is to drive. It needs a paint job although the paint is evenly worn everywhere. I replaced the exhaust hangers and I noticed there is no sign of any rust under. The interior carpet and headliner is in excellent shape. Dash has a few cracks and the front seats are torn in the middle and I put those wooden bids on and works great. The interior actually looks great as it is if you are not picky. Sunroof works! Like I said it is a very solid running and driving 300D classic. You can slowly restore it and it will be worth restoring. If you are looking for a show car please run away! This is almost a 40 year old car that is pretty much unrestored. You are buying it as is where is without any warranty expressed or implied. I have a clean and clear title in hand. Please ask me all kinds of questions before placing a bid. Serious buyers only and that is why I left it at open bid. Please follow through after the auction ends and don't waste my or your time. Thanks for looking.
