Description:

1984 Mercedes-Benz 300-Series

I am the second owner of this lovely burgundy/bordeaux 300D. Not in show condition, but in great shape and ready to go as a daily driver. Lots of power in the engine, good pick-up (for this car), performs well in the city and on the highway. A pleasure to see and drive. I don't need a car in the city and would love to see this go to an owner who will drive, tinker and care for it in the best possible way. Titled in Massachusetts. I am selling locally and will take down the auction if I find a local buyer.

  • A/C was converted in 2015, blows cold (note that these systems never run as cold as modern systems)
  • Sunroof works
  • No water leaks
  • Good acceleration
  • No rust on floors, behind battery, under hood in drain wells, or inside door - the typ. places
  • Never in an accident - check CarFax (I'm happy to share copy from 2015, when I purchased the car)
  • 2016 Pioneer radio with USB port (original radio not included)
  • Includes spare tire

KNOWN ISSUES
  • A little rust around front and rear below-bumper panels. See photos. I will throw in an unopened can of "Miracle Paint" - see MercedesSource.com. (Otherwise very much rust-free!)
  • No first aid kit
  • Automatic locks (besides drivers side) only work after car has been driven for 15-20 min. I can include a hand vacuum pump and MercedesSource.com DIY instructors for chasing door lock vacuum leaks.
  • Nets on back of drivers and front passengers seat are unattached
  • Glove compartment hinge is loose. Easy fix.
  • Car rolls a bit before engaging park. I just use parking brake on any sort of an incline.
  • Only one original floor mat (drivers side passenger), though there are new off-the-shelf mats (2017)
  • Antennae is bent and does not always go up; radio picks up most signals just fine.

Buyer to arrange for pick-up or shipping. I am unable to provide any assistance for shipping other than bringing the car to a specific location within 10 miles of 02145. Please ask questions about pick-up BEFORE bidding.
