Description for Mercedes-Benz 300-Series 1987

Up for Auction is my 1987 Mercedes 300TD. This is a rare diesel wagon in good condition for the year and mileage. This car is not perfect and if you are looking for a perfect car. this car is not for you. True Mileage Unknown. When purchased odometer was not working and showed 235k. Speedometer was replaced with Good unit showing 249k. I have owned this car for the last 10k miles. Was a daily driver until I upgraded to an ML320 CDI. Car starts instantly even below freezing and runs smoothly. In cold weather will run rough for 15-30 seconds due to this model not having afterglow. Engine has no major leaks and oil consumption is approx. 1. 5qt every 3k. Transmission shifts between all gears. Engine Oil and transmission fluid changed 1k miles ago. All Major options work with the exception of cruise control. Power Windows and Locks (driver lock is intermittent). Power Seats and Headrests. Power antenna. Power telescope wheel. Power Passenger Mirror. Climate Control. Sunroof Tilt/Slide. ABS and no Airbag Warnings. This car has little to no rust on the chassis. It does have a few rusts spots at the bottom of the driver door (is not original to the car) and tops of both rear doors at the upper seal. There is no Rust at the jack points. side skirts. floor pan. rear wheel wells. rear subframe or undercarriage. During a recent alignment the shop even complimented about how "rust free" this car is. Car has upgraded side skirts and cladding. I was unable to get the lower trim for the trunk because it had been removed from the donor car. The Good:-#17 Head. Head was replaced prior to purchasing the car.

Under light throttle will "clunk" into 4th. Flex joints good. -Driver seat upholstery is worn. Lower cushion and spring have been replaced. -Interior is clean but rough. -No flare or hesitation in transmission shifts. Occasionally will slip after has shifted into 4th.
