With only 147,000 miles on the odometer, this 300CD is barely broken in. It runs exactly the way you would expect a well loved Mercedes to operate. The turbo adds needed power but is virtually silent in it’s operation. Further, the torque from the diesel motor, combined with the thrust of the turbo make for a satisfying driving experience. You’ll get 30 mpg on the highway too - and near 25 mpg in the city. Sure, there is the iconic Mercedes diesel clatter from under hood, but only at idle. Besides, it’s one of the more charming aspects of owning this car.

he weatherstripping is in excellent condition with minimal drying or cracking

The rubber surrounding the bumpers (front and rear) is in excellent condition;

Fog lights work perfectly (you must pull the headlight knob out)

The car stops very well

Door locks work, as does the trunk and gas filler cover

Rear defroster works great

Wipers work great

Super cool coco mats in front rear and trunk, original mats too

Cruise control works great

sun visors are in excellent condition and lights work

It tracks down the road beautifully

The block heater works very well

The engine idles perfectly, starts right up

Does not smoke (with 100,000 miles, it shouldn't)

The car accelerates very well - just like it did when new

The trunk is in excellent condition with the tools, spare and jack present.

All turn signals work

All of the windows work well, except the passenger rear is a bit sleepy, but does go down.

The wood is in great condition with only a mild crack next to the shifter.

Headliner is in excellent condition

Engine compartment is very tidy

There are no cracks in the windshield

Remote mirror (passenger side) works perfectly, drivers side view mirror is manually operated

I have a new power antenna installed

The MB Tex is in excellent condition and maintaining their suppleness. The driver’s or passenger’s front seat does not sag nor slump.

The rear seats appear to have never been sat upon.

Small bit of rust on the driver rear window area, size of a dime.

Air conditioner needs a part, its on order.


Mechanically the car is amazing. Runs, drives, brakes, shifts as new. The automatic transmission shifts through all four gears as designed. No hard shifts. The brakes don’t pull and the car’s alignment is fine.
