Description for Mercedes-Benz 300-Series 1983

I HAVE OWNED THIS TURBODIESEL FOR THE PAST 10 YEARSAND IT HAS BEEN VERY FAITHFUL. WHEN I FOUND THE CAR IT HAD AROUND120. 00 MILES ON THE ODOMETER AND WAS ONE OF 4 CARS WE ROTATEDDURING SUMMER DRIVING. SHE HAS BEEN GARAGED DURINGINCLEMENT WEATHER AND WINTERS SO SHE IS RUST FREE WITH A VERYCLEAN UNDERCARRIAGE AND WHEEL WELLS/ROCKERS. THE ENGINE IS STRONG AND SMOOTH. STARTS IMMEDIATELYAND HAS PRETTY MUCH ZERO BLOW BY. THE CAR RUNS AND DRIVESNICELY. THERE ARE NO STRANGE NOISES IN THE DRIVETRAIN & THECAR HAS GOOD POWER. SHE STEERS AND HANDLES NICELY WITH NO WANDERINGIN THE STEERING AND !!!!THE AIR CONDITIONING WORKS!!!!SO DOES THE ODOMETER!!!THE CARS INTERIOR IS ALSO IN VERY GOOD REPAIR. IT IS DARK BLUEWITH MATCHING CARPETING AND IS COMPLETELY INTACT. THERE ARE NO HOLES OR DAMAGE IN THE UPHOLSTERY OR CARPETING. HE WOOD VENEER IS IN VERY NICE CONDITION AND THE DOOR CARDSARE WELL PRESERVED AS WELL. WELL NOT ABSOLUTELY MINT THIS CAR HASBEEN WELL TAKEN CARE OF AND IS A DEPENDABLE DRIVER. TRYING TO FIND AN OM617 TURBO DIESEL WITH LOW MILES IS GETTINGTO BE A VERY DIFFICULT TASK NOW THAT THESE CARS ARE 30 YEARS ANDOLDER. HOWEVER THIS ONE HAS JUST 144. 00 TOTAL MILES ON IT. OVERALL THE CAR STILL FEELS TIGHT IN THE STEERING. SUSPENSION& THE DRIVE TRAIN. THIS PAST WEEK I HAD THE VALVES SET ANDPERFORMED A DIESEL PURGE. I WOULD LIKE THE CAR TO GO TO SOMEONEWHO LOVES AND APPRECIATES THESE OLD MERCEDES. THE CAR IS FOR SALE BECAUSE I NEED TO MAKE ROOM FOR 2 CARSHOME FROM CALIFORNIA AND I SADLY DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH STORAGEFOR EVERYTHING. IT WAS DIFFICULT SELECTING WHICH CARS TO SELLBUT SINCE I HAVE 6 SD'S I AM GOING TO LET THIS ONE GO. NOW TO ANSWER ALL THE USUAL QUESTIONS THAT COME. ENGINE DOES NOT LEAKENGINE DOES NOT RUN HOTDRIVETRAIN DOES NOT SLIPNO SHAKING RATTLING DRIPPING SMOKING OR SMELLINGCLEAN TITLESHIFTS NORMALLY UP AND DOWNBRAKES WORK NORMALLYNO HOLES IN ROCKERSNO HOLES IN UNDERBODYNO UNDERBODY ROTTHE ENGINE SOUNDS LIKE AN OM617 DIESEL SHOULD. NOT LIKEA GM DIESEL (A BUCKET OF MARBLES). IT PERFORMS NICELYWITH MINIMAL SMOKE. IF YOU HAVE NOT DRIVEN A DIESELMERCEDES BEFORE YOU WILL BE IMPRESSED. THE 3 LITERINLINE 5 CYLINDER TURBODIESEL PRODUCES 120HP ANDA HEALTHY TORQUE TO MOVE THIS 4000LB CAR NICELYENOUGH TO KEEP UP WITH MODERN TRAFFIC AND RETURN25-3O MPG ROUTINELY. I HAD THE CAR AVERAGE 28MPGTRAVELING TO NEW HAMPSHIRE IN THE SUMMER AT A STEADY75-80MPH. UPHILLS INCLUDED. A FUN TO DRIVE SAFEECONOMICAL MERCEDES BENZ DIESEL.
