Up for sale:
1985 Mercedes Benz 300TD (Turbo Diesel) Sedan. Excellent condition in and out. Runs and drives great. Body is champagne with a burgundy (oxblood) painted top. Interior is a matching oxblood color and is incredibly preserved. All functionalities are in proper working order. Power Windows/Power sunroof/Power mirrors/Power Antenna/Radio, etc.
This car was hand-built when the term actually meant something. Todays "luxury" cars all look/sound/drive the same, just different badges and plastic pieces are added to them for differentiation purposes. Iconic is overused in the car world, but it is appropriate here. No need to guess what it is from 100 yards away. In 1985 this was reserved for those at the top of the food chain. At k ++ in the mid 80s (our house was 43k in 1981) those in the market for one of these vehicles were likely the 1% on the wealth scale. Those people were notoriously difficult to please, and educated enough to choose quality over flash. Mercedes catered to this crowd by making cars that would last for decades. This was the third and final series of the W123 chassis.
Enough of the history lesson, on to our car. This one was ordered with all the boxes checked! Power sunroof, power everything else. Climate control. Champagne Metallic body, Cabernet Red Metallic roof (this was added by previous owner, not factory) Henna Red interior looks like day one, incredible. The REAL wood trim is in great condition as well.
Mechanically, the engine runs great, starts immediately (Five new glow plugs installed June '21), AC was serviced, new power steering belt, all brakes/tires in good shape. **Four new Continental tires installed today 7/15/21**
This car isn't for everyone. It never was. The right caretaker will be able to enjoy this vehicle for another few decades with little effort. Call Dan to set up an appointment.
