1985 was the last year Mercedes built the gorgeous 123 series turbo diesel coupe . They made these legendary cars between 1978 and 198, ut only for 4 years with the turbo version . They are known to be the most reliable and enduring cars Mercedes Benz ever produced . You often find them with 500k miles and still running well . This particular was finished in " BLK" ( MB color code 702 " Rauch-Silber" ) with peanut butter leather interior . The leather interior was a rare option in 1985 . Since the car has only (((181k miles))) on it and has always been garage, he leather interior is still in great condition . There are no rips in the seats and the leather is still soft . Also the original dashboard is still in wonderful shape on it speaker panel . The wood is in great shape and still has the original shine to it . The straight body is in excellent condition and the original paint still shines like on a 3 year old car . Even though with a close inspection you will find little scratches here and ther, t is hard to believe that this paint is already 31 years old . The smoke blk held up very well and it is a classic and elegant color combination with the peanut butter leather . But the nicest thing about this car is the way it drives . It has lots of power on the freeway and in town . It cruises effortlessly at 90mph and still gets between 25-27 mpg of diesel . It has been well maintained and it shows. Just within the last year the following things were replaced or attended to : -new motor mounts and engine shocks, valve adjustment with new valve cover gaske, - all new filters and fluid, new hood insulatio, new transmission modul, new battery, ew shifter bushing, new breather hos, new air filter mounts with buffer, new pre glow time rela, - new accelerator linkage . All the windows and the sunroof work they way they should . I could not think of anything it needs . This 300CD accelerates very nic, as plenty of power and the transmission shifts smooth . It would make a wonderful car to drive every day without the worries normally associated with classic cars . Or it would be a perfect candidate for a classic Mercedes collector . With the last year of productio, he classic color combination and the rare leather interior option it would look great in any collection . I did take lots of pictures and they can describe the car better than i can . But if you have any more questions or would like to make an appointment to see this ca, ust send me an email or text me
