Description

Overall:Classic MB-diesel and nearly everything in the car is functional. Its straight, very smooth, no blue smoke and very comfortable. Interior is nearly mint. Exterior is in very good overall shape. This car turns-heads / thumbs-up everywhere it goes. 30/35mpg AND is very dependable. Many good spare parts included with sale (spare trans, new timing chain, fuel pump, flarrings, etc).
Condition:- Great mechanically, starts up and drives smooth / straight- Blows some black smoke when cold (pretty normal) but nothing after that and no blue smoke (oil)- Great Interior / very-good exterior - minus small areas of rust (worst is drivers-side lower rearquarter-panel) and small dings- At certain speeds a bearing noise can be heard (likely either transmission output shaft or axle carrier bearing, I have owned this car for 6 years and it has always been there but can't find any play in the system and it hasn't gotten noticeably worse with time.
Features:- A/C (converted to R2134a) & heat, as noted the car needs schrader valve replaced and system refilled with Freon- Original radio with aftermarket amp in rear
- Power steering, power breaks (both optional that year)
- Power locks
- Rear defroster
- Manual windows
- Manual 4-spd trans
- Compression still decent
- ~0 oil consumption
- Tires like new
- Always garaged- Oil sweating very low for a diesel
History:I have personally owned andmaintainedthe vehiclefor ~5.5 years. I purchased from afriendin New Jersey who owned it since 1990 and mostly restored it around the same period (including repaint and mechanical work).Car has been very reliably for me and my family but I need to part ways as I no-longer have time / space to maintain it as I used to. Please note - white wall tires are now just black-wall.
Shipping and Payment:Buyer fully responsible for pickup / transport of vehicle. $500 due within 24 hours or auction close - full payment due at time of pickup.
