Here i am selling a 1985 Mercedes 300TD turbo diesel wagon .1985 was the last year Mercedes built the wonderful 123 series estate . This particular car was finished in Champagne  (MB color code 473) with Palomino color MB-tex interior . The body and the paint are in very nice condition as the many pictures will show . There are no dings,dents or scratches to speak of and the paint shines like on a much newer car . I do get compliments on this wagon whenever i take it out . 189k miles is actually considered low mileage for this kind of Mercedes . There are several cars with this engine on Ebay right now , which have over 400k miles on it and still running well . If you keep taking care of this kind of car , it really can last you a lifetime .They have a reputation for being the most durable and reliable car Mercedes made.   The interior is also in amazing shape . There are no rips or tears in the seats, the carpets are clean and even the wood panels are in great condition . This car also had the rare option of the interior cargo net with a cover for the rear cargo area . I did loose the face plate for the aftermarket stereo , but i still do have the working original Radio .  Maintenance was always performed and it shows when you drive it . Just last month a service was performed , fluids and filters changed and the motor mounts and one drive-shaft axle were replaced . The brakes were done at the same time . This wagon always starts up right away and it drives wonderful . It has plenty of power in town and on the freeway . It cruises comfortably at 90 miles per hour while still getting 27mpg of diesel  . With the turbo it is not slow at all and a true pleasure to drive .It would be a perfect car for somebody who would want to drive it every day , even for long distances . It would also be the perfect candidate for a bio-diesel conversion , where you can drive it on vegetable oil or even free waste oil from restaurants . Even for a collector this car would make sense as a practical long term investment . It was the last year , prices are already appreciating and they just do not make them like this anymore.  If you have any more questions or if you would like to schedule an appointment to come by and see this wagon , feel free to send me a quick note through Ebay and i will respond quickly . I would really prefer to sell this car to somebody local ,who could actually come by and see it . But i would also be helpful with shipping or a airport pick up for a out of town buyer . All sipping charges would have to be paid by the winning bidder.  This is a wonderful , great driving 27 year old car and as such it will be sold " as is " , " where is " and WITHOUT a warranty . I am located in West Los Angeles and i will make myself available for a test drive almost anytime . Thank you for looking at my auction and good luck ....
