Great diesel touring car. I was using this as my daily driver but I find that I use my truck more these days and I can't justify insuring three cars (I have a '73 450SL as well). I get approximately 36-37 mpg on the freeway and 32 in mixed town and freeway driving. Being able to drive 600 miles between fill ups is great! Lovely interior, super comfortable driver, sure footed at speed yet fairly nimble on the curves; this car is a joy to drive. The climate control works very well, the heat and defrost are powerful and the A/C blows ice cold. I installed a Sony CD radio with Sirius/ XM satellite capability, the original radio is included (it's in the trunk). The car rides on factory chrome 16" wheels with a full size alloy wheel for spare. The sunroof/ moonroof operates perfectly in all positions. The power windows work well and I had a very high quality tint job done all around so that the interior stays nice and cool in the summer. The power mirror switch is broken and the driver's mirror needs to be adjusted manually. The trunk is massive and can hold luggage for all five passengers! The body is solid with no rust, some idiot wrinkled the right front fender (see photos). The car has had regular oil and fuel filter changes and I installed new glow plugs, new under hood fuel lines, injector pump seals etc. last year. It starts perfectly, runs as it should and gives me trouble free service. This is the last of the diesels that don't require a smog check. Cheap registration, inexpensive insurance and great fuel mileage but all the class of a Mercedes Benz. The title is clear and in my name, registration is current through August, 2013. Sold as is with no warranty. All costs for transport and transfer of ownership are the responsibility of the buyer. Vehicle must be paid for within 7 days of auction end and picked up within 30 days of auction end. Longer storage may be arranged for a fee. Thanks for looking, good luck bidding. No reserve, high bidder wins!
