Vehicle Detail
Please view my many photos here: More Photos Car is in rough cosmetic condition. I've driven it sparingly over the last 8 years. It's needed very little maintenance in that time aside from oil changes and topping-up fluids. Some photos show a broken tail light lens. That has been replaced. Thule bars are not included. Engine runs strong, transmission seems to work well. My recent experience with a similar car is that replacing some of the vacuum lines in the engine compartment will make shifts very smooth. I've never touched the vacuum system in this car though. Heater blower motor needs to be replaced or rebuilt (new brushes perhaps). These seem to sell for $30-60 here on eBay. It's easy to change this motor - it's currently removed. It's not a wiring problem; voltage is present at the motor. I was prompted to sell because the motor mounts have finally become totally shot and the engine vibration at idle is rather strong. I also came upon a nicer 300TD that I'm now driving so this one is redundant. I recently changed motor mounts on my newer 300TD. I was surprised that it wasn't difficult and didn't take a lot of time. Tires are nice Michelins but are nearly 8 years old. They have only 20k miles on them but they are old.I bought this car from the original owner. I have extensive maintenance records going back to 1993. She didn't have any records prior to that. I made a spreadsheet summarizing those records that I can send via email if interested. Feel free to visit Lyons, CO to inspect and drive. Please study photos and ask any questions. Sold as-is.thanks
