Today i am selling a gorgeous 1983 Mercedes 300TD wagon with the bullet-proof 3 liter turbo diesel engine. This car is a true survivor. It has always been pampered and garaged and it shows. It comes with all the books and records from new and i even have a copy of the original window sticker. The 300TD was finished in Mercedes "classic white" (MB-color code 737) with navy blue color MB-Tex interior. It is a gorgeous color combination and i do get compliments on it whenever i drive it . This Mercedes has been regularly detailed and the body and the paint are in amazing condition for a 31 year old car. This car has spent all of his live garaged in the pacific northwest and there is no rust on it at all. It truly has been pampered. The paint still shines like on a much newer car. The interior is super clean. The MB tex interior held up very well. There are no rips or tears in the seats. The carpet, oor panels and headliner are very clean .Even the original sun visors are still in great shape. The dashboard is in perfect conditio, o cracks at all. All the instruments and gauges work the way they should. The wood still shines like new and there are no strange odors of any kind. All the services were always performed and any little thing it needed was always attended to right away. Everything works the way it should and i could not think of anything it needs. Just within the last 3 weeks the AC has been converted to the new style freon and it blows ice cold . The air-cells for the SLS suspension have been replaced and the rear gate did get some new shocks. The tires only have 3000 miles on them and all the fluids and filters have been changed. I just did a 1000 mile trip in this car about 2 weeks ago without any problems. It has lots of power in town and on the freeway. The transmission shifts smooth and quick and it is a true pleasure to drive. One of the coolest features of this car is the original Mercedes installed rear facing 3rd row of seats with seat-belts. This was a rare factory option in 1983 and it lets you transport 7 people in style. It is a favorite for my son and whenever i pick him up from schoo, ll his friends want to sit in 3rd row sea, o they can wave at people behind them. This car also comes with the chrome cross-bars for the roof rack . This car would be perfect for anybody who likes driving classic car, ut needs them to be reliable and economical. The W123 series has a reputation for being both. If they have been maintained and taken care off like this ca, hey can last you a lifetime. This 300TD would also make a great addition to any car collection. It will be hard to find one this clean again. I would prefer to sell this gorgeous car to somebody loca, ho could actually come out and see it /test drive it. But i also would be willing to help with shipping arrangements or an airport pick up ( LAX ). All the services are up to date and i am sure this wagon would comfortably make the trip anywhere in the United States. Please have your funds in order and do your "due diligence" BEFORE placing a bid. This car comes with a clear titl, clean Carcheck report ( score of 53, keys and all the books and service records. I did upload an additional 90 pictures, lease let me know if you need to see anything else . I am located in West Los Angeles and can make myself available to show the car almost anytime. If you have any questions or would like to make an appointmen, ust send me a note and i will get back to you quickly. Thank you for looking at my auction ...
