1982 was the first year Mercedes introduced the turbo charger into the 123 series coupes . These cars already had a reputation for being very reliable and economical . Now they also had plenty of power for everyday driving . This particular car was finished in black ( MB color code 040 ) with Palomino color MB-Tex interior . This was a very rare and elegant color combination . Mercedes only made 8007 of the turbo diesel coupes and it will be hard to find one with low miles and in this condition . The body is still in wonderful shape all around and the paint still shines like on a much newer car . This car was always garaged and it really shows . The interior is still in amazing condition . Even the original dashboard still looks great . The carpets are clean and the wood-panels are excellent . There are no rips or tears in the seats . The door panels and the headliner are clean as well . This car really stands out and i get compliments every time i drive it . People can not believe that it really is 31 years old . It has only had 2 owners and it has always been pampered . It comes with the books and the service records . Everything works on it . The Michelin tires have about 85% left. All the gauges are working the way they should . The AC is blowing cold from all the vents . There are no oil leaks and the car runs terrific . It is not slow at all and a true pleasure to drive in town and on the freeway . This car cruises comfortably at 85mph while still getting 27 miles per gallon of diesel . The original radio has been upgraded with a newer unit with a CD player . Even the original power antenna still works .  With the low miles and the gorgeous color combination this car could be perfect for a collector . There are just not that many clean 300CD's like this around anymore and they are bound to only go up in Value . It would also serve well for somebody who would like to drive a elegant classic car every day , but needs it to be extremely reliable . With 27mpg of diesel it would also be the perfect candidate for Bio diesel conversion . This way you could drive it on vegetable oil or even free waste oil from restaurants . I have never tried this in this car , but with gasoline prices where they are today , it sounds like a great idea.  I would prefer to sell this car to somebody locally , who could actually come out and see it / test drive it . But i would also be helpful with shipping arrangements or a airport pick up . Please have your funding in order and do all your " due diligence" BEFORE placing a bid . This is a wonderful 31 year old classic car in great condition and it will be sold WITHOUT a warranty " as is " and " where is" . All shipping charges will have to be paid by the winning bidder . If you have any questions , please contact me through Ebay and i will get back to you quickly . There are many more detailed pictures to look at , please ask , if you need anything else . I will be out of town this weekend , but i check my emails often . I will be able to show the car anytime next week . Thank you for looking at my auction .
