I am sadly selling my beautiful Smoke Silver Mercedes, with the rare, black MB Tex interior that looks new.This car is incredibly reliable and has a great story. It, and another like it, was purchased new by an unmarried dentist with practices in two states. He would work up north during the summers, and come back to his native North Carolina in the winters. The dentist drove each car whenever he was at the particular house each was kept. He retired a few years ago, and had both cars in NC. He had them serviced at a well known Mercedes shop, when the shop owner and lead tech convinced him to sell it, so the shop could not only enjoy it, but also keep their "old diesel skills" sharp as they replaced the typical w123 chassis parts that tend to fail with age.Over the next year, the shop completed all service you would expect and more. All fluids were flushed and changed (oil, coolant, transmission, brakes, differential, fuel tank). Of course, the oil, transmission, air, and fuel filters were changed (and I have changed the fuel filters during subsequent oil changes). All V belts were replaced. The brakes were replaced, including a new master cylinder. The door lock actuators and vacuum lines were replaced. The shop used a smoke machine to track any other leak in the vacuum lines and replaced those, plus any that seemed ready for replacement. The fuel sending unit and exhaust hangers were replaced. The A/C was converted to R134. The shop installed a new power antenna. A new battery and four new Michelins were added at 107,000 miles, which is when I bought it. I replaced a rear door strap.This car starts right up, every time, runs like new, and it is very dependable. All of the gauges work, with the exception of the dashboard clock (but I have the parts to fix it). This car needs the A/C recharged, but I would drive it across the country if I needed to.Since I have had it, I researched everything about this car and purchased a ton of parts. I am handy with a wrench, having owned several other classic vehicles and motorcycles, and I was planning to proactively replace some items to ensure trouble free, long-distance driving for another 30 years. I really planned on keeping this forever, but my wife has convinced me to get something newer, so I now have a 1990 350sdl. I purchased, but have not installed, top quality replacement parts, maintenance items, and servicing tools. These include OEM transmission and valve cover gaskets, transmission filters, Bosch glow plugs, Monark Fuel injector nozzles (already balanced), several oil and fuel (primary and secondary) filters, any and all vacuum connections you can think of, several of each type of fuses (not like blade fuses), signal light bulbs, a diesel fuel nozzle pressure tester, engine mounts, a water pump, valve adjustment wrenches (I used them to check and adjust the valves already), a vacuum line tester, a glow chamber reamer tool, seat net repair kit, a new fuel tank screen and screen removal tool, new fuel injector lines, new vacuum lines, various service manuals, and a whole bunch of other things that do not come to mind immediately. I spent about $1,900 on these items and the buyer will have the option to take them with the 300D for a substantially reduced price. I also have a set of 15" Mercedes-Benz rims.I add a few ounces of 2-stroke oil to the fuel tank at every fill up, since the ultra-low sulfer diesel fuel that has been used since 2007 does not provide the same level of lubrication as the earlier fuel did. I also add an ounce of Naptha to the fuel tank at each fill up to ensure any microbial growth in the station's tanks do not survive in my fuel tank. I get a pretty consistent 28 mpg in a mix of city and highway driving.This car does not appear to have ever been in any accidents. The title and autocheck are clear. In fact, the autocheck gives it a very high rating compared to its peers. The paint has the typical age spots, minor dings, and oxidation. I had a quote to make it look like new for $1,200 from a reputable body shop - not a chain.There are a couple of cracks in the dashboard, and the right dash pod (vent) slips out of place because it needs to be replaced, they can be sourced for $25. The A/C needs to be recharged and two buttons on the A/C controller do not work. Please contact me with any questions or to set up a time to see it

Offering a gorgeous 1987 Mercedes 300SDL professionally maintained and in top condition, finished in Diamond Blue with Grey Leather interior. VALUE - One of you is going to win an incredible ride. These cars are becoming more and more difiicult to find. In 1987 they were over $50K which now would be over $105K. They are economical, reliable and an incredible value. Plus the ultimate in looks and ride. Interestingly enough, they are FAST and run all day long at any speed. Go check them out on Car Survey and other sites. This is a beauty! OBSERVATION - No two of the these cars are alike. Some sound different than others. Some are smoother. Some are quieter. This one was just tuned by a Mercedes expert and my personal friend. This one at 291xxx is noticeably quieter than my other 87 which has 209xxx on her. As a matter of fact this one is quieter than any of the others that I've owned. When I asked my friend why, he felt it may be that this may have been produced in late 1986 and they are often quieter and quicker. Here is everything that I know about the car and can attest to the fact that it runs perfectly and you can feel confident driving it anywhere. They are unbreakable if cared for. This one purrs like a kitten. HISTORY - The car was puchased from a local owner in Charlottesville, VA. The previously owner had the car since 1992 and passed away and it was obtained from his wife. No reported accIdents. MAINTENANCE - Here is a list of everything that was done.New fuel filters.AC serviced.Brakes replaced to rotors and discs and serviced. New stringent Va inspection sticker.New clutch fan.Newly painted to original color - orginal paint was faded, no rust. Passenger seat split.Drivers ok.Normal wear on front seats but not bad. Sunroof works but need adjustment to use. Oil changed.New battery.New hood insulation pad.New headlamp cover.New dash overlay cover.Fuel injectors cleaned and serviced. Throttle adjustment optimized.Tires matching set lots of tread remaining.AM/FM/CD.Everything works except as noted. Won't last at this price, good luck!
