With only 147,000 miles on the odometer, this 300CD is barely broken in. It runs exactly the way you would expect a well loved Mercedes to operate. The turbo adds needed power but is virtually silent in it’s operation. Further, the torque from the diesel motor, combined with the thrust of the turbo make for a satisfying driving experience. You’ll get 30 mpg on the highway too - and near 25 mpg in the city. Sure, there is the iconic Mercedes diesel clatter from under hood, but only at idle. Besides, it’s one of the more charming aspects of owning this car.

he weatherstripping is in excellent condition with minimal drying or cracking

The rubber surrounding the bumpers (front and rear) is in excellent condition;

Super cool coco mats in front rear and trunk, original mats too

It tracks down the road beautifully

The block heater works very well

The car accelerates very well - just like it did when new

The trunk is in excellent condition with the tools, spare and jack present.

All turn signals work

All of the windows work well, except the passenger rear is a bit sleepy, but does go down.

Headliner is in excellent condition

Engine compartment is very tidy

There are no cracks in the windshield

The MB Tex is in excellent condition and maintaining their suppleness. The driver’s or passenger’s front seat does not sag nor slump.

The rear seats appear to have never been sat upon.

Small bit of rust on the driver rear window area, size of a dime.

Air conditioner needs a part, its on order.

Mechanically the car is amazing. Runs, drives, brakes, shifts as new. The automatic transmission shifts through all four gears as designed. No hard shifts. The brakes don’t pull and the car’s alignment is fine.
