1982 Mercedes Turbo-Diesel 54,00 miles. Stunning green; Palomino interior

Description for Mercedes-Benz 300-Series 1982

This is an exceptional example of the elegance and sophistication of one of the world's finest vehicles. It's true, this car has only 54,000 original documented miles on it. It was driven 1500 miles per year on average. My pictures tell the story. Look at the reflections in the paint, the near perfect condition of the burled walnut wood, the sumptuous carpet and leather seats. You have never seen a more gorgeous green exterior. It looks like a sun kissed leaf and the famous Mercedes Palomino leather interior is the perfect compliment. There is not even the hint of a blemish on the chrome bumpers. There is not one ding on this car. The exterior shines as if it came off the showroom floor. (On one of my pictures it looks like there is a flaw on the roof when it is actually just a shadow from the camera) The dash is perfect and the carpet is clean and plush. (The camera makes the carpet look dirty but it is virtually new looking.)There are no scratches or discoloration on the the seats. The trunk lining is spotless. I have scoured the internet and not found another 300SD with power seats and walnut trim on the doors. The car has a sunroof, cruise control, automatic climate control and heated seats. The rubber windshield and window lining shows no sign of age. I installed a state of the art Alpine radio with Satellite and blue tooth capability. This car came with a $38,000 sticker price in 1982 which is in excess of $100,000 in 2016 dollars. I am the second owner and purchased the car last year from a couple in their 80's who were both doctors and drove it strictly for pleasure. I am a perfectionist and had the car gone over from bumper to bumper. I spent $3000 replacing or repairing everything that was wrong or even could go wrong having shocks, gaskets, inline filters, kick down cable, o-rings, sensors, fuel hose, fuel screen, air cleaner mounts and seals wether they needed to be replaced or not. The passenger power window was not operating so I replaced the motor. The car is mechanically sound, the brakes are good, it shifts perfectly, the turbo kicks in when needed and the tires are new. The car has started the first time for me even in the Wisconsin winter. There are two minor scratches on the hood. The prior owner scraped the passenger side against some rose bushes and there are minor scratches on both passenger doors. These scratches are only visible in bright sunlight. There are some scuffs on the front bumper. I have done my best to show this in the pictures in as much detail as possible. Other than this there are no dings, dents, rust or blemishes on the exterior. The tachometer does not work. There are no other known issues with the car and I believe it will exceed your expectations. Any questions please ask or call me at 262-993-2007. I require $500 down upon accepted offer and will accept a cashiers check as payment.
