This car is the machine Mercedes were meant to be back in the day, real metal, Stuttgard made- it's safe, reliable, easy to own and operate, and very friendly. No smog check required.
Cosmetically, the car is in good condition. The body panels are straight, and the inside is clean and free from any significant blemishes. Obviously, leather on seats and dashboard has some cracks - after all car is not new.
I am the second owner, bought from the old couple that kept it more garaged that driven, and it has always been a Southern Florida car and is free from any corrosion. This vehicle is an excellent example of this vintage and runs very well with good boost, power and fuel economy. Everything works. New battery. This vehicle is also the perfect candidate for bio diesel or veggie oil conversion.
Inside is clean overall, but leather seats do have some tears and cracks, new covers are put. Original floor mats. The dashboard is clean. The turn signals and wipers perform properly. The glove box is solid and has no sagging or looseness. The rear window may get stuck-need slider replaced, an easy fix, have parts. The window glass has no chips or cracks.
Classic, and original, first aid kits in back dash.
Mechanically, this Mercedes is in very good condition, with good mileage for this vintage. I have ALL the records since the car was new. The efficient fuel injected five-cylinder diesel fires right to life every time.
The transmission shifts firmly, and the tires have substantial tread left. The ride is smooth. If properly maintained, this Mercedes could go 1,000,000+ miles (seriously!) or more without requiring any substantial servicing. This breed is renowned for its longevity. The fluids have been checked or replaced as needed and are all up to specs. A full sized spare tire mounted on a Mercedes wheel and jack are stowed in the proper location in the trunk area. Original owner books and dealer receipts.
All in all, this is a very clean example of a legendary sedan with the classic S Class look. The best Mercedes 126 body. It delivers a well engineered feel, an unparalleled safety and dependability record, and remains very user friendly to own and operate. If you have spent any time looking at these cars you will have found paint, mechanical, hydraulic or electrical problems with the majority that would require substantial time and money. I have priced this automobile based on its condition, mileage and maintenance history.
If you have been looking for the perfect 1982 300SD TURBO, this is it!
It is ready to GO!
