1983 Mercedes 300cd Turbo Diesel Coupe Only 148k Miles Always Pampered Stunning on 2040-cars

I bought this gorgeous 123 series coupe almost 4 years ago from the original owner . It was finished in the gorgeous color combination of Orient red ( MB color code 501 ) with Palomino color MB tex interior ( MB code 154) . I have not seen another 300CD in this color yet . It is truly stunning and when i saw it , i bought it on the spot .  I never planned on selling this car and pampered and maintained it accordingly . The original owner always garaged the car and even in the garage had a cover on it . The first 30 years have been really good to this wonderful coupe and i hope the next owner will continue to treat it the same way . With 2 young children now i just need a bigger car and  purchased a Mercedes wagon . The body of my 300cd is in perfect condition . There is no rust , no dents and no dings at all . The paint still shines like new and people are commenting on it every day . The chrome is in outstanding condition all around . All the rubber seals are in great shape . The interior is extremely clean . There are no rips or tears in the seats and they are still firm . The carpets are very clean , just like the headliner and the door panels . The dashboard is perfect and the wood is still like new . All the gauges and lights work the way they should . The AC works and blows from all the vents. To summarize it all , my car truly looks amazing all around . But the best thing about it is the way it drives . There are only 148k miles on it and it has always been maintained properly . There is no deferred maintenance and i could not think of anything it needs . It always starts up right away , idles the way it should and has lots of power . This 300CD is not slow at all and cruises comfortably at 90 mph all day long . It is truly a pleasure to drive in town and even more on the freeway . There are no oil leaks and the tires have about 90% left on them . This car would be a perfect candidate for a Mercedes collector or investor. Clean 123 series coupes and station wagons have been rising in value over the last few years and should continue to do so . You just do not find any clean ones with low mileage like this anymore . Another gorgeous example just sold this weekend here on Ebay for $23.000,- . My Buy it Now price of $ 16950,- is well below that , since the other car had even less miles on it . My car would also be good for somebody who would want to drive it every day and put another 300k miles on it . It drives terrific as it is and these car require very little maintenance as far as classic cars go . They are known to go for over 500k miles with the proper care . The car also comes with the records , the books pictured and even the original window sticker.  I would really prefer to sell this car here locally to somebody who could come by and see it . But i would also be willing to help with shipping arrangements should the winning bidder decide to have the car shipped . I would have no worries driving this car across country tomorrow. It is an amazing 30 year old classic car and as such it will be sold " as is " and without a warranty . Please have your funding in order and do all your " due diligence" BEFORE placing a bid . I have described this car to the best of my knowledge and after having put on 24k miles within the last 4 years. The license plates in the pictures are private plates and have been replaced with regular CA license plates already . If you have any questions , feel free to send me a note through Ebay and i will respond quickly . Thank you for looking at my auction …
