1981 300SD Diesel Great condition very reliable sound good looking good mileage

Description for Mercedes-Benz 300-Series 1981

These W126 Diesels are the last of the "million mile" Benzes. This car may have seen a lot of miles but it is completely without excuses mechanically. and needs very few excuses cosmetically. as the pictures attest. It comes with all service records from 1988. when it had 99K on the clock. One of those receipts is from the local MB dealer from when they installed a new factory engine to the tune of $10K+. This was at 202K miles. It has a new battery. a recent radiator and tires and all rubber bits are fresh. hoses. (including oil cooler hoses) mounts. belts. etc. The Centra wheels are 15". light. wide and easy to clean. they grow on you quickly. The climate control works fine. cold A/C or good heat. whichever is required. is all taken care of automatically. The drive shaft has been completely refurbished recently. the brakes all around are about a year old. the list goes on. It has always had any maintenance and repairs needed done in a timely and thorough manner. Oil changes have been regular. using only OEM filters. And it gets 25+ MPG in the winter. 22 or 23 in the summer. The only things that don't work are the clock. unusual in a Benz. and the power antenna doesn't go down. Everything else works fine. But enough of the mundane. this S-class is a delight to drive. Comfortable. quiet. stylish even still and dead reliable. it starts instantly even below freezing. yes that actually does happen here in Southern Arizona. and if the new owner lives in a much colder climate it has a block heater. This is a car that one can just get in and go. no matter how far. if there is a road to it. it will go there. without excuses. I really hate to sell it. but circumstances are such that I have no choice. My loss will be someone else's gain. Please contact me with any questions. the more you know about this car the better. And if you are a Tucsonan. please check it out in person. drive it. I'll even take it to your mechanic for a check out if you like. It is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction if it does sell. Please feel free to call me with questions or to arrange a test drive. 520-419-2628
