Vehicle Detail
* * AN ACTIVE PAYPAL ACCOUNT IS REQUIRED FOR THIS AUCTION * * You are bidding on a 1982 MERCEDES 240D Diesel Sedan that runs great. Below I will list as much detailed info about the car as I can. Please read entire description. What's Positive: * Car runs great. Starts right up, idles smoothly and has been very reliable * Car gets over 30MPG * Tags are current * Title is clear * Brakes are new * No CA Smog required on these * Front tires are about 80%, back are less but still functional * Recent Service: Had new belts put on, radiator flushed, oil changed, new freeze plug, new thermostat, and pressure test which passed * Interior in really good shape, but driver's seat has a lambskin cover on it because of wear. * Car cruises at 70 easily * Transmission shifts well, no issues * All brakes have been redone (by previous owner) * Glow plugs have been cleaned & car tuned (also by previous owner) * No serious leaks * No burning of fluids (oil or trans) Overall, I'd give the car mechanically a solid grade. It has been a very reliable runner for me. Flaws Worth Mentioning: * The car has some rust issues. My mechanic thinks the car must've been an East Coast car because of that. I tried to photograph the areas on the body that have been treated for rust. They've been repainted after what I believe was a bondo job, not perfect but the car still looks decent. If you are looking for a rust free 240D or a mint condition looking one then this one is not for you. * Odometer stopped just recently. * The steering wheel has a little bit of play in it like many older Benz's. You can hear occasional squeaks & moans when you hit bumps. My mechanic didn't seem to think it was much to worry about but you might want to address that. Personally, I just used this as a commute car. No WarrantyThis car is sold AS IS with no implied warranty of any kind. The car is located in Southern California. The winning bidder is solely responsible for local pickup or shipping. At the close of auction, a 30% Paypal deposit is due at the close of auction.
