If you stumbled upon this auction, you are reviewing a rare 350 SDL.

1991 was the last year of this 350 SDL Turbodiesel.

As a matter of fact, there were on 2925 units made according to Wikipedia.

 

My friend is a Mercedes expert who finds these cream puffs in the central Virginia area.

 

I am a chief engineer in the maritime industry and just love these diesels. I drive them, enjoy them and offer them for sale when I find another to enjoy!

 .

According to the records, it appears the first owner imported the car from Germany on April 2,1991.

It was titled to the Milwaukee Golf Development Corporation. 

This one seems to have had original owners from 1996 to 2014. Then from Florida 2016 to recent, it was purchased in 2023, my friend purchased out of North Carolina. All that was required, was a power steering pump and pulley,  belts. Car had been sitting about a year according to the seller. 


I have a ton of records from its beginning on her, last picture. I was told the Florida owner even replaced the new cylinder head. Please look carefully at the pictures. This turbo-diesel runs out like a brand new luxury ride. It is pretty amazing, frankly. 

I've  never driven one that ran out so smoothly.


It goes like a rocket ship. It runs like a sports car, yet the size of a land yacht. This one could be picked up and driven cross country.

Just an amazing vehicle.

-       AC works and charged.

-              The body is in very nice condition, no rust.

-              Vehicle is shiny and clean but peeling in spots. New paint would make it stellar.

-              Front seat leather needs reconditioning.

-              Nice Stereo/CD player.

Needs left to check:

1.        Front passenger seat needs to be checked which I will do this week. It was working previously.

2.        Rear window buttons need to be checked.

 

I just came home after being away for the month. It started right up and despite having my Porsche, I have been driving the 350 SDL everywhere.

 

You are going to love this car if you are the winner. It is really a superior car for driving.

 

According to Hagerty valuation these cars are appreciating and continuing to go up.

I am going to offer this one at a great price for win-win transaction together.

With very little attention this quality ride, will bring big rewards.

A real appreciating asset.

Here are numbers for the 1990 350 SDL. There are none for the 91 and suspect with only 2925 units made, a much higher valuation.

 

#1 Concours condition

$27,800

#2 Excellent condition
