Description for Mercedes-Benz S-Class 1983

I HAVE OWNED THIS TURBO DIESEL 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. THE ENGINE IS STRONG AND SMOOTH. STARTS IMMEDIATELY EVEN IN 20 DEGREESAND HAS PRETTY MUCH ZERO BLOW BY. THE CAR RUNS AND DRIVESNICELY. THERE ARE NO STRANGE NOISES IN THE DRIVE TRAIN & THECAR HAS GOOD POWER. SHE STEERS AND HANDLES NICELY WITH NO WANDERINGIN THE STEERING AND !!!!THE AIR CONDITIONING WORKS!!!!THERE IS ONE AREA ON THE LEFT REAR WHEEL WELL LIP 2" IN DIAMETERTHAT WILL REQUIRE REPAIR. AND ON THE RIGHT REAR ROCKER METAL IS EXPOSEDAPX. 3" BUT OUTSIDE OF SURFACE CORROSION THERE IS NO RUST HOLE. THE RESTOF THE CAR IS SOLID INCLUDING THE UNDER CARRIAGE. THE OTHER ISSUE WOULDBE PAINT ON THE HOOD HAS TO BE REFINISHED. FOR THESE ISSUES I HAVE PUTA LOW RESERVE ON THE CAR. SHE HAS BEEN IN STORAGE FOR SOME TIME BUT WASTAKEN OUT THIS FALL. 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.
