Welcome to Xtreme Motor Sales where we love these classic old diesel W123 chassis Mercedes! They are one of the most enjoyable truly classic driving cars. The fit and finish of everything is simple yet elegant, the reliability and comfort is practical & the fuel mileage is respectable by any standard. If you haven't ever had the pleasure of working on one of these cars you would come to appreciate the ingenious but common sense design the German engineers had when creating this car. If you haven't ever had the pleasure of driving one of these rare coupes, you have to experience it to truly appreciate it. I purchased this beautiful 1983 Mercedes Benz 300CD with hopes of it being my weekend daily, but came to find out the storage capacity of my 1979 Mercedes Wagon was more fitting!
History:
The story of this car begins with a Russian immigrant who came to America to start a better life. Louis Kayer, an immigrant from Russia, purchased the now famous Baltimore Bakery in 1910, and renamed it after his wife Ada (Mama Kayer). With the help of Louis and Ada’s sons, John and Max Kayer, the bakery moved to its current location on Kingwood Avenue in Norfolk, Va. The name & address of this bakery is written into the Mercedes delivery documents. Fortunately, I was able to speak to one of the grandsons regarding the history of the car. As it turns out, it was his partners vehicle. The two partners each purchased a Mercedes 300CD from the showroom floor at the dealer in Richmond, VA. They purchased the cars for sales calls and wanted something safe and reliable. At the time, these cars were even more affordable than the gas models. According to the original owner, she paid just under $32,000 for the car. It was titled in the name of the bakery when it was delivered on January 17, 1983. The owners manual, warranty and service records all state clearly the ownership and history. The car was dealer serviced under the care of the landmark bakery for the next 5 years until it was traded to Phillips Olds Virginia Beac, VA. in 1988. Enter, the second owner...From what the daughter tells me her mom, Vivian, (the second owner) wanted to have her own car, paid for out of pocket with her own cash and so she did just that and on April 12th, 1988 she walked into the dealership, signed a contract & placed a $1000 deposit on the car. On April 14, 1988 she became the proud owner of this 1983 Mercedes, the odometer read 55,279 miles. Purchase Price: $19,598.36, yes I have the deposit receipt & purchase contract too. The car came with all books & records, properly stamped from Jan 1983 forward till 1988. The documentation on this classic is meticulous, it even still carries the data plate. I couldn't post the complete outline of the fastidious service history, so I took pictures of just some of the pages to show you as there are over 60 pages & receipts. As you can see from the few pages I selected, there wasn't nearly a month that passed that something wasn't completed, checked, cleaned or serviced. This is a seriously well documented two owner car. Included in the documentation is the original owners manual, Owners Service and Warranty Policy, operation card for the Automatic Climate Control, Operation Card for the cruise control, a Mercedes Dealer Directory, Pirelli Original Equipment Warranty, Mercedes Roadside Assistance brochure, the antenna cleaning cloth, the original Mercedes production Data sheet and the highly sought after data plate, and of course 2-keys to start the fun!
I drove this Coupe from the city of Milwaukee to Chicago back and forth for a couple of times now, sunroof open, windows down and radio playing and what a joy it is! Everything works on this car except for two things (one window switch for the right rear wing window and the passenger power mirror), the rest of the windows, the vacuum locks, the wipers, washers, sunroof, courtesy lighting, A/C, tachometer, cruise control, and yes even the clock works.
