Vehicle Detail
All my auction sales to date have received a feedback rating of 100% and I take pride in knowing that I am making automotive dreams come true. You can call me with offers or questions at 323-467-7870 I do reserve the right to remove the auction at any time for any reason and have done so in the past if the offer is acceptable but please respect the auction process and do not wait until the last day to show up with cash because Ebay does not allow an auction to be edited or removed on its last day… I didn't know this rule before and learned the hard way on a prior auction. This is a classic car that will go up in value every year so you will be able to sell it for more than you bought it for provided you care for it. The pictures don't do the car justice. I have been collecting these cars for 9 years and have a sizable collection. ALL being sold so please do inquire. The price is based on how rare the car is, how many were made in this extremely rare color combination and especially in this condition with this classic and legendary reliable motor that boasts hundreds of thousands of miles - built like a tank - timeless. This is the last hoorah from Mercedes and sported an updated turbo for the last 4 years of production which in this case is functioning just as if it just left the factory and is to Mbz specifications. The title was issued in 1984 and is clear. Original and documented 133k miles one owner import car. This car not only looks as new but drives exceptionally well and has that trademark Mbz 300D smell. I would turn to this car as a daily driver and would drive it to any long distance destination without a second thought. This is a perfect car for road trips. Excellent Carfax showing no issue - no record indicating a one owner vehicle. Original custom ordered California Enviromental Plates. The color combination, in this condition, low miles, in the second to last & arguably the best year of production makes this a unique and awesome auction Ok that all being said...
