1981 Mercedes 300SD Turbo Diesel 159k Miles

1980 Mercedes-Benz 300-Series Additional Info:

159k miles, runs great, clean title in hand. Diesel 300SD. Only 2 owners over it's lifespan! This car has been well maintained. Reliable with an immaculate body, inside and out. Located in Portland, OR, come check it out and feel free to ask any questions! Comes with a Clifford II in-car security system (pictured).
The engine and transmission are solid. It has a few hassles: There is a manageable water leak in the trunk that we believe is coming from the gas filler neck sealand rear window. This a new development (it was previously stored in a garage near the California border for many years) so no long-term water damage. The gas gauge is also currently nonfunctional, and the car needs a refill every 300 miles (diesel only, and the trip meter was reset when last filled). There's also a slow discharge of the battery when the vehicle is off due to an unknown drain, so the battery currently needs to be disconnected if sitting for longer than about two days (disconnect switch is installed, pictured).
Cashiers check or wire transfer are preferred.
