I'M SELLING MY 1985 MERCEDES BENZ 300 TD STATION WAGON. CALIFORNIA DIESEL MODEL. 1985 WAS THE LAST YEAR MERCEDES BUILT THE WONDERFUL 123 SERIES ESTATE WAGON. ORIGINAL MSRP WAS $35,000. ALWAYS IN CALIFORNIA BEAUTIFUL CHAMPAGNE (MB COLOR CODE 473) EXTERIOR, IT HAS BEEN REPAINTED ONCE AND THEY DID A HIGH DOLLAR JOB. IT LOOKS INCREDIBLE AND GLOWS IN THE SUN. IT HAS A LITTLE MORE METALIC THAN THE STOCK PAINT AND IS GORGEOUS. FLAWLESS PALAMINO MB-TEX INTERIOR. DASH HAS SOME SMALL CRACKS BUT OVERALL LOOKS GREAT. CARPET IS A LITTLE FADED BUT THE MATS LOOK NEW. RARE OPTIONAL REMOVABLE LUGGAGE COVER ATTACHED TO THE BACK OF THE 2ND SEAT. ATTACHES TO THE REAR HATCH AND GOES UP WITH THE HATCH. ALSO ENCLOSED IN THE SAME OPTION IS A NET THAT PULLS OUT AND ATTACHES TO THE CEILING TO KEEP PACKAGES IN THE REAR FROM GOING OVER SEAT IN SUDDEN STOP. ALSO WORKS IF 2ND SEAT IS DOWN AND IT ATTACHES TO CEILING BEHIND DRIVER/PASSENGER SEAT. AUTO STARTS INSTANTLY. RUNS GREAT. CRUISES AT 80 MPH STRAIGHT DOWN THE ROAD AND IS A PLEASURE TO DRIVE, ALWAYS COMMANDING ATTENTION AND GETTING A "THUMBS UP". 194,000 MILES AND WILL LAST A LIFETIME IF YOU TAKE CARE OF IT. THESE HAVE A REPUTATION OFBEING THE MOST DURIBLE AND RELIABLE CAR MERCEDES EVER MADE. EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A CALIFORNIA MODEL WITH A CAT CONVERTER, IT RUNS BETTER AND HAS MORE POWER THAN ANY I HAVE DRIVEN WITH-OUT IT. THERE ARE DEALERS ON EBAY THAT SELL BY-PASS KITS BUT I WANTED TO KEEP THIS STOCK. EVERYTHING WORKS AS SHOULD. MANUAL SUNROOF (ALL WAGONS HAD MANUAL) SO NO CABLES TO BREAK. THE ENGINE/ FUEL SYSTEM IS STOCK BUT CAN BE CONVERTED TO VEGIE OIL EASILY, THEN JUST GO BUY VEG OR WASTE OIL FROM ANY STORE AND YOU CAN SAVE THE PLANET. PLUS IN AN EMERGENCY YOU WON'T HAVE TO BE DEPENDENT ON A GAS STATION, JUST HEAD TO THE SUPERMARKET AND FILL UP, PRETTY COOL. THIS IS A GREAT INVESTMENT AS THEY CONTINUE TO GO UP IN VALUE EVERY DAY. FEEL FREE TO GIVE ME A QUICK NOTE THROUGH EBAY AND I WILL RESPOND QUICKLY. IF YOU ARE IN THE AREA FEEL FREE TO COME KICK THE TIRES AND AND LOOK OVER EVERY INCH TO FULLY APPRECIATE THE BEAUTY AND DRIVABILITY OF THIS TIMELESS BEAUTY. TEST DRIVES ARE ENCOURAGED.

I WILL WORK WITH WINNING BUYERS THAT ARE OUT OF THE AREA AND WHATEVER SHIPPER YOU USE. ALL SHIPPING CHARGES AND ARANGEMENTS ARE THE RESPONCIBILTY OF THE WINNING BIDDER. THIS IS A WONDERFUL, BEAUTIFUL, GREAT DRIVING 28 YEAR OLD AUTOMOBILE AND AS SUCH IS SOLD"AS IS" AND "WHERE IS" WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY. I AM LOCATED NEAR PASADENA, CALIFORNIA 91011. BEFORE YOU BID, LOOK UP THE CARS VALUE AT NADAGUIDES.COM AND YOU WILL SEE MY RESERVE IS VERY LOW. THANK YOU FOR LOOKING AND GOOD LUCK.On Mar-13-14 at 05:05:37 PDT, seller added the following information: JUST A COUPLE OF THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW; 1. THE COVER ON THE MIRROR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR CAME OFF RECENTLY DURING A TEST DRIVE/ INSPECTION. 2.PASSENGER SIDE FRONT DOOR DOESN'T UNLOCK WITH KEY ON THAT SIDE, ALL DOORS UNLOCK WITH KEY FROM DRIVER'S DOOR AND WHEN YOU PULL UP ON KNOB ON INSIDE, I SUSPECT THE LITTLE ROD INSIDE DOOR IS MISSING AS LOCK JUST SPINS WHEN KEY IS PUT IN AND TURNED. I WILL TRY TO FIX BOTH BEFORE AUCTION ENDS BUT THIS IS WHERE WE ARE AT RIGHT NOW.On Mar-15-14 at 14:54:53 PDT, seller added the following information: please go to this link to see more pictures. http://s845.photobucket.com/user/doodah57/library/mercedes%20ebayOn Mar-15-14 at 18:49:34 PDT, seller added the following information: Hello, added a couple of more pics on photobucket so look again. about the mirrors on visors, the plastic edge around the mirror is cracked in a couple of places on both. you can open the passenger side carefully and the light comes on. But on the driver's side, the cover falls when opened but stays fine if left alone.
