1985 Mercedes 300 Turbo Diesel - w123 Chassis - Odometer: 207,302
Vin # WDBAB33C8FA261836
I have a 1985 Mercedes 300 turbo diesel for sale. 1985 is the last model year for the famed w123 chassis and this is a fine example. I have owned the car for over two years and it has performed flawlessly. It has 207,302 miles on it, but if you know these cars, they can last much, much longer with proper maintenance. This mileage will go up as it is my daily driver.
The only issue that I am aware of is the right side passenger window does not work. It could be the window regulator, but I am not sure. I am not very good with electrical issues. The engine is very strong as is the transmission. The AC works good, but not great.
I have performed regular maintenance on the car and the valve adjustments, fuel filters, and oil changes are all up to date. I have maintenance records which go back several years and some are from previous owners. I have also performed the following minor repairs:
-New brake fluid and flexible line on the right side
-Recently replaced the engine mounts and the ride is now very smooth
-Recently replaced the OEM fuel primer pump (they have a tendency to leak after several years of service) with a new Bosch style primer pump
-New ignition tumbler
The exterior is not great. The paint could use a good buff and there are a few rust spots on the car, but they are minor. I have tried to show these defects in the pictures.
The interior, however, is excellent. There are no tears in the seats, and there are no cracks in the dash or the woodgrain finish. It also comes with the original radio, tool kit, and even the first aid kit.
Clean Kentucky title in hand.
NOTE: Vehicle is in the Tampa Florida area and being listed for my Son-in-Law - any questions will have to be relayed to him for him to answer.
