1985 Mercedes-Benz 300D Sedan Dark Blue RWD Automatic Turbo Diesel 149,xxx miles

1985 Mercedes-Benz 300D DT

Up for auction is a 1985 Mercedes-Benz 300D Turbo Diesel in Dark Blue with a Palomino interior.
A true Southern California car that has lived its whole life around the Los Angles area. It was purchased new by my wife's grandfather in early 1985 and stayed in the family since.

This sedan's odometer displays about 149,112 miles.

The car drives well and starts up immediately. It shifts smoothly and has a relatively clean interior. Low miles for this old of a vehicle, especially when considering the longevity these cars tend to have.
A few things that we know do not function: AC/Heater, radio, some windows do not go up and down and some are intermittent. Sunroof slides open and closed smoothly.

General info:
Mercedes-Benz introduced the W123 sedan for 1977 and quickly dropped the gasoline-burning models to focus on the more popular diesel-powered variants. The range included the 240D, which received a 4-cylinder diesel engine, and the 300D, which offered an extra cylinder (and, later, a turbo). Sales ended after the 1985 model year, when the W123 was replaced by the W124 (which became the first E-Class).
Some things were built to last. The W123 is most certainly one of those things. Often referred to as the “million-mile Mercedes,” these cars have legendary reliability and longevity thanks to their OM617 turbo diesel engines. The addition of the turbo greatly helped improve the drivability and performance of the W123 over earlier years. It’s not uncommon to see these cars available with 500k+ miles on the regular which is a testament to how great these cars really are.
