Description

The last year of the legendary Mercedes Benz W123. The most reliable Mercedes ever made. These cars will run forever. This is a great example of the turbo diesel coupe, the most rare and desirable of the model line. Car is registered with the Mercedes Benz Classic Center and recently received the 250,000km high mileage award.
Classic color combination of gray exterior with Palomino leather interior. All original and in very good shape.
This my daily driver with a 30 mile commute each day. No issues and I would confidently drive it across the country tomorrow. Rock solid car.
In the last year I have done the following improvements:
- Brand new Michelin Defender XT (4) with 90,000 mile warranty- Replaced all 4 Shock Absorbers- Replaced Front Brake Pads and Rotors- Converted Air conditioning system to the newer R134 freon. Works great.- Replaced Engine Vacuum Pump- Replaced Climate Control Unit- Replaced Fuel Return Lines- Replaced Sun Visor- Upgraded Headlights to H4 (still have the originals)- Installed iPhone / MP3 jack to original Becker Radio
Total upgrades in excess of $4000
Vacuum system works as it should. Radio works great although I'm not so sure about the tape deck. I installed a way to plug your iPhone directly into the original Becker radio without replacing the head unit. Sunroof works great. The rear windows suffer from the usual coupe issue with the windows only going down halfway but other than that they work great. There is a spot of delamination in the corner of the rear windshield but it has never bothered me enough to fix it.
Please let me know if you have any questions or need pictures of anything else. This is my first time selling a car on ebay, although I've bought before, so I hope I'm not forgetting anything.
I'm in Northern California and am happy to coordinate a showing it if you send me a message through ebay. I will consider delivery to buyer if it's within a reasonable local distance. I can also pick up of town buyers at Oakland Airport or at SFO.
Thank you and good luck!
