Description:

1980 Mercedes-Benz 300-Series Euro-Spec

***THIS IS A 1984 300D GRAY MARKET EURO-SPEC MODEL. I HAD TO LIST AS A 1980 BECAUSE EBAY DIDN'T RECOGNIZE THE VIN#.***
This diesel Benz has just 136k miles -- that's barely broken in for these legendary 5-cylinder engines. This is the non-turbo model.
She's all original, with all her beltline trim and chrome pieces, and very little rust.
Air conditioning works and has been updated to CFC-Free refrigerant. 4-speed automatic transmission. Power steering, brakes and passenger side mirror. Climate control.
I have had the following maintenance items and work performed:
> new Goodyear Assurance tires (x4)
> new front brake calipers (x2) with brake fluid flush
> new engine block heater element and cord
> valve adjustments
> automatic transmission tune-up (shifts great once she's warmed up)
> new rear shocks
> new rear stabilizer bar links
> new primary and secondary fuel filters
> new air filter element
> new engine mounts
> new JVC in-dash radio with Bluetooth and USB connections (original radio comes with car, too)
Car runs like a top and gets about 23 MPG in combined city/hwy driving. I wouldn't hesitate to drive this sedan cross-country. Completely dependable. Great car for your college kid!
I have clean title in hand.
Will entertain serious offers. Thx.
