History report not avaialbe for this car because its an 1981 year, the VIN is correct. Link to a video of the car http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adMBOQNWx-o This car was first sold in 1981 here in California . I am the second owner. It was finished in "light ivory" ( MB color code 623 ) with palomino color mb-tex interior . The body and the paint are in very nice condition all around . There are no dings or dents. The paint was recently detailed and it shines like new . The interior is very clean as well , as the pictures will show . Everything on the car works except one thing which is the Cruise Control which is common on all these W123s. All lights and controls everything besides the Crusie Control works on this car. There are no rips or tears in the seats and the carpets are fair . Even the wood panel is looking great. NO mechanical problems at ALL everything works fine and properly, very well maintained. But the best thing about this car is the way it drives .It runs like a diesel should and it was recently serviced at my local MB Dealer, new origianal Bosch Glowpulgs, fuel filter is new, fuel pump needles new and serviced. New oil change transmission and motor oil was changed. Heater cores repared and AC recharged. Motor and transmission mounts replaced as well to make the diesel engine hardly noticable. All parts replaced were brand new parts from original Mercedes Benz Dealer. It always starts up right and idles like a diesel engine should . The 3 liter 5 cylinder diesel engine is considered to be the most durable engine Mercedes ever built. There are several Mercedes diesels of this era on Ebay right now with 400k miles and still running well . This car would be perfect as a practical investment. It would also do well as reliable and economical every day driver for many years . Or it would also be the perfect candidate for a bio diesel conversion . This way you could drive on vegetable oil or even free waste oil from restaurants .With gasoline prices where they are today , it sure sounds like a great idea . Please do have all your financing in order and ask all questions BEFORE placing a bid . I will answer all questions promptly and honestly . This is a 30 year old car in great condition and it will be sold " as is " and without any warranty . It has a clear pink title, never been in a accident, and regestration paied for unitl the end of this year in December.
