1984 Mercedes-Benz 300DT 300D Turbo W123

Description for Mercedes-Benz 300-Series 1984

I am the second owner of this lovely burgundy/bordeaux 300D. Not in show condition, but in great shape and ready to go as a daily driver. Lots of power in the engine, good pick-up (for this car), performs well in the city and on the highway. A pleasure to see and drive. I don't need a car in the city and would love to see this go to an owner who will drive, tinker and care for it in the best possible way. Titled in Massachusetts.

KNOWN ISSUES

• A little rust around front and rear below-bumper panels. See photos. I will throw in an unopened can of "Miracle Paint" - see MercedesSource.com. (Otherwise rust-free!)
• No first aid kit
• Automatic locks (besides drivers side) only work after car has been driven for 15-20 min. I can include a hand vacuum pump and MercedesSource.com DIY instructors for chasing door lock vacuum leaks.
• "Nets" on back of drivers and front passengers seat are unattached
• Glove compartment hinge is loose. Easy fix.
• Car rolls a bit, and then "clunks" when you put it in park. I just use parking brake when on any sort of an incline.
• Only one original floor mat (drivers side passenger), though there are new off-the-shelf mats (2017)
• Antennae is bent and does not always go up

Buyer to arrange for pick-up or shipping. Local pick-up preferred; I am unable to provide any assistance for shipping other than bringing the car to a specific destination within 10 miles of 02145. Please ask questions about pick-up BEFORE bidding.
