1986 MERCEDES 190D 2.5 DIESEL VERY LOW MILEAGE FOR THE YEAR VEHICLE IS VERY CLEAN FOR THE AGE AND MILEAGE. DIESEL ENGINE RUNS EXCELLENT. THESE ARE KNOWN TO GET 40 MPG+!! THE INTERIOR IS VERY CLEAN. SEATS WERE REPLACED A FEW YEARS AGO (OLD ONES WERE CRACKING). SEATS ARE MANUAL. THE DASH HAS CRACKS IN IT. INTERIOR IS ACTUALLY PRETTY NICE. LAST OWNERS WERE NON SMOKERS AND HAD NO PETS. SUNROOF DOES NOT WORK. POWER WINDOWS WORK EXCEPT FOR DRIVER SIDE (SWITCH?) THE RADIO INTERMITTENTLY WORKS. CLIMATE CONTROLS WORK FINE. THE A/C STILL HAS A GOOD STRONG R-12 CHARGE SO AC IS ICE COLD!! THE CAR SAT FOR A FEW YEARS. THE BATTERY IS AN OLD MERCEDES ONE. IT MAY OR MAY NOT HOLD A GOOD CHARGE. WE JUST JUMPED IT AND IT RAN EXCELLENT WITH NO ISSUES. JUST TO BE SAFE WE REPLACED THE MAIN FUEL FILTER. WHEN THE CAR IS HOT IT DOES NOT GO IN REVERSE OR SHIFT OUT OF 1ST (FORWARD) GEAR. IT MAY NEED A TRANSMISSION SERVICE WE ARE NOT SURE BUT TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE IT IS BEING SOLD AS HAVING A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. IT WAS DRIVEN UP TO ABOUT 40 MPH AND IT DRIVES LIKE A DREAM. BRAKES ARE EXCELLENT. TIRES ARE EXCELLENT. SUSPENSION IS EXCELLENT. A VERY SMOOTH SOLID RIDING CAR. THE ENGINE IS THE LEGENDARY 2.5 NON TURBO ENGINE. THESE ENGINES EASILY GO 500,000 MILES WITH PROPER CARE. PAINT, AS CLEARLY ILLUSTRATED, IS PEELING CLEAR COAT PARTICULARLY ON THE HOOD. THERE IS NO RUST ON THE BODY EXCEPT A VERY SMALL SPOT OF SURFACE RUST ON THE HOOD YOU WONT NOTICE UNLESS YOU LOOK AT IT FOR SOME TIME. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, THE VEHICLE WAS IN SOUTH CAROLINA THEN VIRGINIA. THE ORIGINAL FLOOR MATS, SPARE TIRE AND JACK ARE IN THE TRUNK. LAST OWNER WAS A NON SMOKER AND HAD NO PETS. ANY INTERESTED BUYER IS ENCOURAGED TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO BIDDING. TERMS OF SALE: VEHICLE IS SOLD AS-IS, WHERE IS.
