1980 Mercedes Benz 300D automatic trans sedan San Fran Bay Area No Reserve!

1980 Mercedes-Benz 300-Series

Selling my trusty 1980 Mercedes 300D . I just bought a new ca, so 'ol Gertrude has to go.
She has been absolutely reliable in the 2 years that I have owned her. I've driven her up and down the coast with no problems.
I've had a few Benz diesels over the year, and this is one of the most solid feeling (suspension-wise) and quie, smooth running engines I've had. It's a good one.
Approximately 267,000 miles ( I believe them to be original)
Run, drive, start, stop, all light, horn and signals work as they should.
San Francisco to Los Angeles on 1 tank of fuel.
Interior is in great shape with no rips or tears in any seats
All power windows and sunroof work perfectly.
Smog exempt
Registered until: April 2019
tires are about 50% tread left
Has a jack and a good spare ( on another factory Mag wheel)
The only small issues are:
1 small dent on the front driver side quarter . Not too bad at all (check the pics)
The climate control system could use some attention ...honestl, I never even bothered.
There are one or 2 small vacuum leak, tha, as a vintage Mercedes owne, you will either :
1. get used to them
or
2. track them down and plug them.
1 piece of molding fell off (see in pic) ... it's in the car
3. The Car needs a new vacumm transmission cable (about $200. installed) . The car runs and drives fine without i, but shifting will be "smoother" once this is repaired. That being said ....she's been my daily driver for 2 years just as is.
These issues have never stopped the car from being an absolutely reliable daily driver. These cars go forever.
I don't have parking for 2 cars ...s, this baby has gotta go!Feel free to ask any and all questions.
