You are bidding on a one owner, lady owned, true surviving Mercedes 300D with NO RESERVE. I have over 17,000$ in maintenance receipt dating back to 1979. All manuals records of the car was kept. Nothing missing and all dates and mileage line up perfect to document this true 162,500 mile car. The most notable receipt is the rebuilt engine that only has 24,000 miles on it. License plates show her name and how she loved her MB. License plate frame says "CEO of hydro sulutions Inc." That is where she worked for many years. This car is very nice inside and out. Very shiny and clean. There is no clear coat peeling on the exterior and looks great. Interior is definitely nice as well. Air conditioning blows cool but not cold.Engine has 24,000 miles on the rebuild. Very quiet running engine. Receipt shows every part replaced and machine work and labor. Drives great down the road very quiet and takes speed bumps really soft. Steering is nice and tight. This is a fine example of a true surviving all maintenance kept, be loved Mercedes-Ben. It won't get any better with over $17,000 in receipts. All receipts are from Mercedes or European only repair shops. This original beauty is up for grabs.Starting the auction with no reserve. Happy Bidding! Non refundable 500$ deposit due within 48 hours of auction closing. The remainder to be paid with a bank wire transfer or bank cashiers check.
