Great 1984 Mercedes 300d-t sedan for sale!!!

Champagne/Palominio color combo. (473 paint code)

Repainted and all body work done in last 9 months. Not a stractch, dent or nick on it. Been under carport under a cover or in storage when not used!

I have decided to sell some cars because we simply are running out of room (have 8 currently). The only reason i decided to sell this car is that id like a bit more variety in my collection since i have many 4-door sedans. I bought this car last summer from a very nice couple who kept it in storage but didnt drive it much. It needed some TLC so i spent a few months bringing this car up to where it deserved to be. Ive had 4 of these and i love fixing them up and driving them. Before i bought the car i have a reciept for work done to the front end, motor and transmission mounts, drive belts and hoses, ball joints and shift linkage bushings. I have since had done or performed myself the following:

New front and rear shocks and alignment

New battery and alternator (denso)

Repair dent on trunk, passenger rear door, drivers quarter panel, passenger bottom right fender (under bumper), repaint original color paint code 473. Car was hand buffed a month later and will be prior to sale again. New dual color pinstripe (brown/beige)

Vacuum check valve for engine shut off , new molded dashboard cover, replaced vacuum hoses inside dashboard. Replaced dashboard woodgrain pieces as needed.

New window swtiches for console.

New kenwood CD player. All new bulbs for dashboard. Replaced door lock striker for passenger door.

New fog light bulbs and lenses. Newer headlight surrounds (have a couple small stone ships on each).

Replaced the passenger side rear tailight (was cracked).

New dealer Mercedes floormats.

Oil and filter changed with Shell Rotella 15w-40. The power steering fluid was changed and with a new filter.

Air cleaner bushings were replaced.

This car starts, runs, drives and stops like it is supposed too. No surprizes! The glow plugs were changed by the previous owner only a couple of thousand miles ago. The engine has great compression and the turbocharger works well with no whining sounds. Transmission performs normal. These are the best engines ever fitted into a passenger car, but im assuming you already know this if youre reading this ad! The tires all match, hold air great and have 65% tread left. When the engine is turns off it shuts off immediately. It will leak on occasion a couple small drips after it is turned off. Sometimes not at all. All lights work, all gauges work (even the small clock under the tach), all windows work, the central locking system works, interior lights, sunroof, climate control works correctly and blows out of the center two vents. I drove the car to houston and back last spring and the cruise control worked. I have not used it since then but i will check again when im on the freeway. The power antenna does not work strangely but im fairly certain its only the motor. Its hooked up the back of the new stereo and doesn't blow fuses. The motor is easily changed from inside the trunk. I listen to CD's mostly but the radio will still recieve reception with the mast down. Your choice to replace. The A/C compressor never had a belt on it when i bought it, so i have no idea if the A/C will blow cold. Does not blow cold currently. The seats are in very good shape with no rips or cuts. MB-tex can last forever if not abused! The headliner also very good with a small tear (1 inch) coming out of the rear courtisey light. The door panels great with only some discoloration on the rear passenger armrest (maybe a window left cracked open and rain stained it. The piping around some of the door fabric has also come loose. The interior an 8/10. The exterior id also say an 8/10. Paint shines great, bumpers good (aera where two small bumper stickers have been taken off shows a difference), all trim and emblems there and in great shape! The rims are in good shape i feel they should be re-dipped however since they show wear. Doing this would really make this a headturner. Doors all slam with that old mercedes thunk that you'd expect. I own a 2000 E320 and the doors sound nothing like the way these close. The last of the best from mercedes-benz. My favorite cars as well. Ask one that has owned one! I have discribed this car as best as i know how and all its shortcomings because i buy cars here too and hate to be rudely surprized. However, i encourage you to ask questions no matter how big or small. I will be checking my e-mails daily and will offer a prompt response. This is a nice car and have put a reserve on it, but is very reasonable. Good luck!

I dont know why the autocheck puts on here an odometer discreptancy. All the date and mileage intervals line up in sequence. Just like carfax reports i feel they are worthless in many cases!  I have the original owners manual with all of the first oil changes listed and have the dealer plate that shows build date and purchase date. All of my records that i have will go with the new owner. Thanks!
