Mercedes Benz 300SD diesel ***LOW RESERVE***
Virginia inspection good through 7/17
Vehicle was listed for sale previously, but I decided to keep it. I have now taken the time to fix a few small things and am re-listing now with a lowered price.
New professionally installed JVC CD player with aux-in and USB in that charges device.
S-class! This Mercedes has all of the best options available at the time and is almost limousine status. It even has individual reading lights behind the rear passenger seats. This 1980 Mercedes 300SD spent most of its life
in California before being purchased in 2012 by a bio diesel company in
Portland, Maine. The vehicle was used only in the summer as a flagship vehicle and advertising for the company, but then sat undriven for two years before I
purchased it in 2014. With a new battery and some brake work I drove it 14
hours straight to Virginia. The beautiful, rare English Red paint turns heads, but could use some touching up. The California sun has faded it
unevenly, but I've kept it waxed and it shines great. Two dents (see
photos) are very minor. Upgraded wheel package (car special ordered from Germany) with chrome wheels and gold
Mercedes center cap highlight the already attractive vehicle.
Interior is stunning white MBTex in great
condition. The driver's and passenger's seats were both reupholstered by the
previous owner. Included in the sale are custom lambskin floor
mats for passenger and rear seats. Previous owner paid over $1000 for these alone. Upgraded
CD player replaced original stereo. Speakers were upgraded by previous owner.
177, XXX low miles for a diesel! Odometer is accurate and has always functioned properly. Mechanically the
vehicle is sound. Starts and runs strong, turbo works great, recently driven on
10+ hour road trip with no issues. Easily gets up to 75 mph and is still quiet
in the cabin.
Recent work in the last 3, 000 miles includes:
Inspected through 7/17
Rear brakes--discs and pads
Two new front tires
Ignition rebuilt, two brand new keys cut by
Mercedes headquarters per MB security policy
New battery
Alternator removed and cleaned
Alternator pulley removed and cleaned
Alternator belt
New wiper blades
Pre-glow relay replaced
Fuel tank completely removed and restored
Valve cover gasket
Fuel filter and pre-filter
Battery hold down replaced
Needs improvement:
-AC does not work
-cruise control does not work
-previously mentioned dents (see photos)
More photos available upon request. Any questions-- just ask and I will answer to the best of my ability.
This car is a large, safe vehicle for any
driver. It is mechanically sound and will not leave you stranded--these
Mercedes diesels go forever!
