Don't hesitate to call or email if you have any questions! 1991 Mercedes-Benz 350SDL - LONG WHEEL BASE TURBO DIESEL One of the only years the 3.5 liter Inline-6 Cylinder Diesel Engine was available! Second Owner, Non Smoker, Local Car! 258,768 Highway Miles! Automatic Transmission! The final year for this classic body style (1981-1991) Soon to be a collector's item! This is the one you have been waiting for! MECHANIC SPECIAL: A/C NEEDS WORK, NEEDS NEW MOTOR MOUNTS and DRIVER'S REAR POWER WINDOW. Here is a great opportunity! This is a very hard to find car in need of a little tender loving care. In short it needs more than I'm willing to do to it. The car runs and drives fine but does have a motor mount issue to the point where the whole car will rock back and forth when sitting at a traffic light. The car also needs work on the a/c. It's currently blowing out of the defroster, not the face like its supposed to, and the a/c does not blow cold. The driver's rear window regulator also needs to be replaced. Knock those out and the car doesn't need anything else mechanically I believe. Cosmetically the driver's seat and armrest could be resurfaced, and there is a ding on the trunk lid where the "350SDL" badge is. Fix those mechanical and cosmetic issues and you have one really nice hard to find 1991 Mercedes-Benz 350SDL Turbo Diesel long wheel base! Here is a very rare chance go get a highly desired and very hard to find example of one of the final (and best) years of the classic S-Class with the Diesel engine! Up for auction is a 1991 Mercedes-Benz 350SDL Turbo Diesel! As you probably know this was one of the last years for the classic body style (1981-1991) and more importantly the one of the only years the 3.5 liter inline-6 cylinder diesel engine was ever used in this car! Not to mention this is the very hard to find long wheel base version. It offers even more passenger room in the rear to really make the drive comfortable. The long wheel base version of the turbo diesel engine is incredibly hard to find,! This 3.5 liter inline-6 cylinder diesel engine is regarded by most Mercedes-Benz enthusiasts as the best diesel engine ever placed in a Mercedes! Its the most powerful diesel engine Mercedes-Benz ever placed in a car so it offers much more power than the 3.0 liter diesel engine used in earlier (and later) cars, it runs much smoother and quieter than the earlier engines! You'll really fall in love with this 3.5 liter diesel engine! The mileage on the ad was not a misprint. This car really has 258,768 actual miles on it. Of course if this mileage still concerns you, keep in mind that Mercedes-Benz diesels have earned a reputation for being some of the most reliable engines ever produced. They're EXPECTED to go 500,000 miles without any major work meaning if you make an effort to keep the car well maintained they can last even longer! You've probably noticed that when you look at the older Mercedes-Benz models you seldomly see the gas engine cars still on the road from the 70s and 80s. For the most part, they're diesels! That should tell you something. The car has never, ever been smoked in! The car has been in Texas its whole life and as a result is completely rust free. This 1991 model year Mercedes marked what was considered to be the end of the "classic" S-class Mercedes-Benz styling having the classic SL roadster replaced the year before in a move to make the newer Mercedes-Benz models more modern. A new more modern looking S class was introduced the next year, making this car into an instant classic. The 1991 model in particular because it marked the best of the style, being the most refined version available simply because it was released the latest in its production run. Many people prefer the styling of the older S-class because the car really did have some personality and character, unique to any other offering by any other auto maker in the world. The newer cars have lost some of that uniqueness that this car managed to capture for all time. Unfortunately, people seeking one of these classic S-classes are forced to purchase a newer model because they cannot find one that is in good condition, or because the owners of these cars will not let these cars go for anything. If you haven't noticed, you cannot flip open your local newspaper and find plenty of these models available for immediate purchase, in fact you'd be lucky to find one, at any price. In the near future, there will be none available. The people buying these cars now are buying them with the intention of being the car's last owner. This has made this car into an ideal investment for anyone. You can drive this car for years, and still be able to get top dollar for it on the open market. Everyone knows and respects the value of a well maintained, quality Mercedes. This car will prove to be an great investment for years to come! This car in particular, this 350SDL with the same S-class body matched to the 3.5 liter inline six cylinder turbo diesel engine which has proved to be one of the most desirable, sought after, and reliable engines Mercedes-Benz ever produced. Besides world class reliability, this car will still give you plenty of power and even more respectable gas mileage. That makes this car one of the most balanced, and most desired full sized luxury cars ever produced! This may be your only chance to acquire a high quality 350SDL Turbo Diesel in this nice of shape! Don't miss this chance to own your dream car! I was not dreaming when I set a reserve on this car. It is realistic and I am planning on selling this car either through this auction when the reserve is met or to the highest bidder with a second chance offer in the unlikely event the reserve isn't met. The price is realistic and even if the reserve isn't met I will still make a deal with the high bidder! You never have to worry about a shortage of buyers whenever you decide to part with this car!
