This auction is for a 1981 Mercedes Benz 240D, four door sedan. It really is a 1981 but ebay would not recognize the VIN from the title (which matches the car) so it may also shown as a 1980. It has been converted to a two tank veg oil system and it has been my daily driver for several years. I love it but it is time to move on due to health concerns. I purchased it in 2008 with 102,040 miles and a loose rod bearing. The engine was professionally reworked, new cylinder liners etc. etc. to the tune of around $3000. It currently IS NOT RUNNING due to air getting in the fuel line. After bleeding the lines it will run for a few minutes with normal power then start surging and die. My garage / workshop space is being sold and my disabled vet thing is acting up to where I am forced to make some major changes. The ball joints have been replaced with U.S. made parts (not P.O.S. china junk) very recent brake job including; all four calipers, brake hoses, and assorted wheel bearings, glow plugs, and so on. Tires are in the 80% range. I purchased it in Alabama in 2008 so it is still very solid overall with only some surface rust. It was undercoated prior to my buying it. There are some spares that go with it; filters, weatherstrip, etc. There is also a spare engine that is available separately. This vehicle will have to be moved via trailer or tow dolly. It has an AM-FM-CD player and does not currently have a battery. I prefer not to use paypal on this. Any kind of check is fine but ANY check or MONEY ORDER WILL BE HELD for ten business days. Cash at pick up is fine too. Please don't bid if you are not going to follow through at auction end. I am located about an hour East of Columbus, Ohio.
