Mercedes Benz 230E

Description

1984 Mercedes Benz 230E with 82,681 original miles. Nice looking classic Mercedes sedan! Presents well, starts easily, new tires and brakes. Runs like a top. No smoke from the engine. The automatic transmission has just been serviced (new filter and fluid) and shifts perfectly.
The interior is in great condition except for a missing panel in the center console (which Im trying to find one and will include it if I do) and the first aid kit cover is missing. The first aid kit is there but its vintage :-) Im trying to find a cover and if I do I'll install it. Other than these 2 very minor cosmetic issues the interior is pretty much perfect. Seats are nice and firm, no rips or tears. The door panels are all very nice. The carpet is very clean. The dash is about perfect except for 1 hair line crack that is easy to over look unless you are nit picking it.
The body looks real decent for a 35 year old car. The paint looks to be original and is a 7 IMO. There is a sun bleach spot in the roof (see pic). It has a sun roof and it opens and closes without any issues. The hood has some blemishes (see pic). There is a minor spot of rust on the driver side rear door above the trim strip (see pic) and there are like 3 very small bubbles under the paint on the passenger side on the wheel arch (see pic). Over all the car looks very nice and the blemishes mentioned are not major issues. Minor cosmetic stuff expected on an unrestored 35 year old car. All is easily addressed and not expensive to fix. The car presents very well though inside and out. The trunk is solid and clean and sports a spare and the original jack.
The 2.3L gas engine runs great. Per the online data I have found these cars average 27-30MPG so you'll be able to go awhile between fill ups. Gas prices are always going up...having a car that is easy on gas helps. I have a 454 in my truck with a 42 gallon tank...its costly to keep gas in it!! This one is MUCH cheaper on gas! This Mercedes Benz has 82,681 ACTUAL miles on it. A web reference I found said keep the oil changed and these cars will rack up intergalactic miles.
This car has a clear CLEAN Ohio (no salvage or flood) title no leins, ready for the new owner. It's just had new brakes put on it. It has new tires also. The classic wheels have the original hub caps and beauty rings and they ALL look really good! The exhaust is quiet, no issues. The AC is not currently working it may just need a charge. Ive not messed with it. Overall, this is a very nice looking, great running, unrestored classic Mercedes Benz sedan. These cars usually will get 300K miles or more before needing a rebuild...so there's lots of miles still left on this classic. Its built like a tank and its a very safe car.
