Miles: 140,151 VIN# WDBAB33A7DB017682 Year: 1983 Model: Mercedes 300 TD Title of Listing: Mercedes Benz 300D Turbo Diesel 1983 Description: Lightly used, well-maintained Mercedes sedan, 300 turbo diesel. Third owner; always garaged, always maintained meticulously. Major suspension joints, rubber bushings, timing chain, and many other parts changed compulsively, (removed parts are in the trunk), fuel system serviced, fuel tank removed and detergent washed, new injectors, tires, brakes; all by professional Mercedes mechanic, all once-in-lifetime repairs and service that most cars like this will lack. Runs perfect, turbo strong, no leaks, no smoke, engine purrs like a wonderful classic Mercedes of that era. Mileage is original, car must be seen to be fully appreciated for what it is. Rare color combination that looks gorgeous. Exterior light yellow, burgundy interior; both original. Driver seat has rip in fabric (see photo). Carpet excellent, covered with mats. Sedan sits high, confident, no sags, creaks, rattles, or squeaks. Ran it through a power car wash, with no leaks. Power sunroof. Imperfections in paint and interior are consistent with age of vehicle. No damage, all systems, switches, gauges work perfect. Upgraded stereo and speakers to a media player, bluetooth audio and hands-free phone, awesome speakers, all fit in existing dash, no cutting or alterations. Original Blaupunkt radio and speakers are still in the trunk if you need them. Cold a/c, all climate-control vacuum valves work including those directing cabin air to vents, defroster, windshield, etc. In back, the original first-aid kit is still in place. Bullet-proof car; these models are still used in taxi service in many countries. Solid German engineering, at highway speeds with hands off steering, the car is dead-straight ahead and confident, with almost semi-truck like presence, heaviness, safety, and solid reassuring feel. On uphills, the turbo accelerates easily. Please have car inspected before auction close, or drive and inspect. Resolve all doubts and questions before auction close. At close, $1,000 non-refundable deposit, then pay balance, then pick up car with clean title signed to you. Current safety inspection and state registration, so drive anywhere at highway speeds. Super-clean, low mileage example of a sturdy piece of engineering from a time gone by; these engines easily cross 500,000+ miles, and will be running long after the new cars today are in the junk heap. Please have funds available, no financing, no trades. This is a private sale. Need the space and the time in my life, so this beauty must go.
