Diesel

You are looking at a very fine and rust free 1985 Mercedes 300SD turbo diesel sedan. The car is Anthracite Gray Metallic w/ Black leather interior. I'm the 2nd owner of this low mileage Mercedes. It has always been garaged and has never been smoked in. The paint shines like new with only a few minor imperfections. The interior is very clean and in great condition. The leather is soft and shows only the slightest bit of wear on the driver's seat. The dash is crack free and the zebrano wood is nearly crack free with great color and finish. Headliner and carpets are in excellent condition as well. The AC is ice cold and the climate control functions properly. Power windows, power memory seats, cruise control, power sunroof, central locking, power antenna, and factory security system all work perfectly. This car is tight, the engine is smooth & powerful, and the transmission shifts perfectly. This is the last year for the venerable all cast iron Mercedes 5 cylinder diesels and it's a very safe vehicle, constructed with a high strength steel safety cage and anti-lock brakes. Take a look at the nearly $3,000 in maintenance and repairs I performed over the past two years, not to mention the countless hours I have involved. The common wear items have been addressed. This car is now ready to go for years to come. Work Performed Parts & Services Repair glow plug system Glow plug relay and glow plugs Repair air cleaner Bracket, buffers & heat shields.

This diesel is barely broken in and it's ready to be driven and enjoyed by the lucky new owner. There is no reason why this fantastic automobile can't be driven for another 26 years. I can't bring myself to drive it every day and I don't want to see it just sitting in the garage, so I've decided to sell it. Don't pass up this opportunity to own and enjoy a beautiful classic Mercedes. If you have any questions, please call me at 803-622-5335. Thanks, Brian Local pickup only. I reserve the right to end this auction early.
