I am selling my well maintained, ell used, urbo diesel wagon. I have owned this car for approximately 3 years. I have kept my maintenance records. It is from Pittsburgh and I recently drove it down here to New Orleans (in three days) with no issues (yes I periodically checked the fluids as you should). My mechanic in Pittsburgh knew these cars very well and did a good job getting her healthy and keeping her that way. You can buy that $1,000 example, ut you'll quickly spend some money to get it in proper running order. Serious bidders only, o scams (I'm no dummy), sk questions before you bid or better yet, ome and take a look yourself.
I'll post more pictures this weekend.
Here are the specs:
1983 300TD Wagon
287,000 miles (engine has less miles, ut not positive the amount)
Sunroof
heater
tape player
new rugs
third row fold up seat
It has newer brakes
newer Michellin tires
new exhaust (partially)
new belts
recent oil change
new speakers (4)
There are plenty of blemishes and stuff that will need maintained overtime, ut it is in good daily driver condition. In fact, have driven it nearly every day for the past eight months with no breakdowns or issues. When I got it, t had a lot of issues, hat I have worked through. The Bad: It still has cracks, ips, ears. It lets in some water in heavy rains. Some rust spots and the front driver's side wheel well where you jack the car has been damaged, ut there is no structural rust besides that. A bad mechanic apparently jacked under that part instead of using the hole that fits the provided jack. The latch for the trunk on the inside is missing. It will want new injectors soon (this is mainly noticed when it's cold). Rear Brake light at passenger side has a small hole in it.
This price is fair considering it's in good working order. I have several parts, ut I would have to retrieve them from Pittsburgh (and I will). I have nearly all of the parts to get AC working. I never finished that. You could convert it to veggie pretty easily too. I have all of the seat head rests, ut they are in Pittsburgh. I also have a trailer hitch, ut it's not intended for heavy loads. I can retrieve that too. I would sell (not included) the roof rack attachments for hauling and a Mercedes emblem for the year.
This car is a great utility vehicle and can fit a lot of stuff for hauling. Parts are easy to find as they made approx. 1.5 million 300D/300TD's. People really like the car and often pay it compliments. It's fun.
If you'd like to discuss it more or have questions, eel free to contact me.
Thanks,
Kris
