Diesel

As the title says, up for sell is my 240D. I have only had the car for less then a year, but it was well taken care of; service receipts and manuals included. The 4-speed diesel is a blast to drive and vivacious with great fuel economy. This car was running excellent; a dependable daily driver, and completed a 2,000 mile road trip last October. The engine began running rough, stalled, and now it will not start. The oil pressure didn't drop and the temp gauge didn't rise before it stalled. The engine turns over fine and has clean oil and coolant - fuel pressure to all injectors. I do not have a compression gauge, but suspect low compression to be the culprit. I do not have the time to investigate this, so sadly I have to let her go. The interior is immaculate - minor cracks in the dash and some dirt on the carpet that a steam cleaner would bring out. The color is clear Tiffany Blue in the sun light and White at night, with very little rust for a garage kept '75. As you can see from the photos the passenger side has been hit (previous owner). The solid Mercedes door still shuts perfectly just as all the others. All lights work and accessories function as they should with the exception of the odometer and clock. The speedometer does function! This car is an original, rare 4-speed diesel. With a little work, she could be a mint condition daily driver again.
