Update: To answer some questions I've had:
1. Battery was last replaced June 20162. Tires are Michelin Defender with lots of tread remaining3. Interior color is Palomino MB Tex, NOT leather. MB Tex is much more durable and long lasting.4. Timing chain and tensioner was replaced in 2011.5. Transmission was rebuilt in 2010.6. Glow plugs replaced in Dec. 20137. The photos of the rocker panel front driver/passenger side show orange peel, NOT rust. This is a Nevada/California vehicle with no rust.8. Sunroof is manual and opens/closes as it should. No leaks.9. I won't disclose my reserve price, but it is very reasonable.
Ebay won't allow me to post a link. This web page has a great article on the not very ubiquitous w123. Good read. Check it out. Happy Bidding!
