Description for Mercedes-Benz 300CD coupe 1979

Mercedes-Benz W123 Series Diesel 'pillarless' Coupe in Glasurit 'English Red' (rare special order original color) with 210,000 original miles. Dealer serviced single owner car up until 2021 with authorized dealer rebuilt engine.
Comes with original window sticker, full and complete service records from DAY ONE including every oil change or new set of tires. The original owners manuals, ID cards and service book are complete and in excellent clean condition. Also included are the nearly impossible to track down original Mercedes-Benz factory service books. These are not reproductions.
This little car has been loved and pampered, always dealer serviced.

Super clean original cream MB-Tex interior and period Becker Mexico cassette. Original cream carpeting is fabulously clean and protected with newer bamboo colored period appropriate Cocomats.
Burl walnut dash wood is in excellent condition and the dashboard is free of the usual cracking. Automatic transmission has been recently serviced and shifts smoothly. Original factory Bundt Cake alloys (5) with four newer tires (less than 2,000 miles.) Recently serviced. A/C blows ice cold.
Solid very stock car with straight body with clean California title and California YOM blue plates.

Superb reliable performance and exceptional fuel mileage for such a heavy, safe car. We routinely get 40 Miles per gallon on the highway but never less than 25 mpg on canyon roads.
Clean huge trunk. Unmodified, unmolested original condition. Drives like a dream. Even electric antenna works perfectly. Front electric windows operate flawlessly. Rear windows are just a little slow and tired as is sunroof. Everything else is spot-on.
I will gladly help coordinate pick-up and shipping. Mechanical inspections are welcome as well.
We purchased this 300CD as our teenage daughter's first car. It is built like a tank and everyone can see this car coming and hear that diesel tone. We searched long and hard for this particular Mercedes but now our daughter is off to college and living on campus. There's no point in having this car sit for the next 3 1/2 years.
