1985 Mercedes Benz 300TD. Turbo Diesel
Cold A/C-----Auto Transmission-----CD Player-----Power Windows/Locks/Antenna-----Working Sunroof-----167k miles-----Working Clock-----Cruise Control

LAST YEAR OF W123 Body= makes this the most desired year. 
Low Miles These vehicles are seen with 1/2 a million miles or more. This is just broke in at 167,000. 
Mechanically This has been gone through and is in EXCELLENT working order. I have driven this on road trips without any worries and would have no fear taking this across country. I change the oil every 3 months or 3k miles and although I check the oil regularly I never have to add between changes. 

Mechanical Items Addressed
Numerous gaskets replaced (valve cover, transmission pan, oil pan, turbo oil lines, and more I don't remember), valves adjusted, as well as the A/C system serviced, brake job (raybestos pads and rotors turned less than 100 miles ago), radiator serviced with a cleaning and new antifreeze, new power antenna (goes up and down with original button on dash), sunroof gear replaced and system lubricated, all filters (oil, fuel, air) vacuum system serviced (fixed all leaks to ensure the power locks go up and down long after the car has been shut off), CD player/Radio, alternator rebuilt, and much more that I have forgotten. Whatever it needed I always had an open checkbook and took care of it every checkup (I had the mechanic go though it every 3 months). 

Body and Interior-are in EXCELLENT Condition. The exterior has two rock chips, and the paint is new high quality dupont polyurethane (same stuff they use in the Kenworth Factory). Paint Job cost alone is practically what I am asking for the vehicle. The glass is in great condition, the windshield has a very small rock chip that is hardly seen and if repaired couldn't be seen. Interior Leather/Vinyl appears to be original and in good condition. The drivers seat has 2 small areas where the leather Split (each one is approx 2" they actually aren't very visable). The power windows all go up and down quickly. The Windows in the back make a clicking sound when they reach the top and the bottom but open and close as they should. The speedometer and odometer funcion properly and although the trip odometer works it doesn't reset to zero (I haven't checked if something is loose?). The tachometer works about 50% of the time (mechanic suggested that a connecter may need to be soldered).  Below the rear window there is NO rust (a common problem for these, this may be due to being in california).  The A/C works great and comes out of the vents on the far ends of the dash and out of the defrost vents (for some reason it doesn't come out the center vents-could be a fuse but cools the car well), fan blows well.

Fuel Economy for me has been between 26 mpg city and 33 mpg highway, with the turbo this the diesel has excellent power.  I have a w210 mercedes diesel that is about 10 years newer and drives much better. 

I love this car and would love to keep it forever but due to a future move I will no longer have garage space for her and she needs to find a good home.  I have many more pictures and if you have any particular areas you would like pictures of let me know.
