Unstoppable Teutonic Survivor 1985 Mercedes-Benz Diesel 300 Turbo Diesel 300TD

1985 Mercedes-Benz 300-Series Turbo Diesel

This is the prefect kid car, train station thumper, or biodiesel conversion candidate. Get you where you're going reliably and with a graceful faded glory! These are nearly unstoppable machines--if you know these W126 diesels, you know they are magnificently reliable and increasingly rare!
Registered with clear title. This car is ready to go. Drive it away. Car is in Weston CT and/or NYC.
Mechanically strong Starts well and runs great. I've used it as a daily driver and it's reliable as all get-out, and fun (if not fast) to drive.No major dings, no past accidents, moulding is complete, power windows & sunroof work. There is (to my eye) a charming patina to the paint which has settled into an elegant matte grey. It gets smiles and "thumbs-up" wherever I go.
Some rust on the quarter panels and near the wheels as you'd expect in an '85. See images for more detail Mileage is approx. 230,000 Odometer works intermittently, but I believe that number is not far off true, judging by condition. The one I owned before this one had well more than100,000 more miles and was still a delight to drive. You dang near can't kill these engines! Fuel gauge and clock are also unreliable, but all other gauges work. Car has A/C but I've not tried to recharge it so I'm unsure about condition. Interior is serviceable, but would need resto to make perfect. Updated radio w/remote installed. Comes with Hirschmann power antenna (not installed)--these are $200 parts in and of themselves these days!
Keep it as-is, or paint & restore it! These are GREAT cars!!
This was my play car, but I have to move and don't have time/room now.
Also for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end sale early. Please contact me with any questions or to inspect.
