Mercedes-Benz 300-Series CD (1983)
for sale

Price: US $18,995.00

Description:

As a collector I have to say this is the one of the nicest coupes I have ever seen. I used to have an orange one and this tops that. I have been collecting these specific cars for almost a decade.
Please bid with enthusiasm and realize that you may never see a car like this ever again. I am sorry to see it go. I have nowhere to store it indoors and to leave it out in this heat for this summer seems like a crime.
In the past all my auction sales to date have received a feedback rating of 100% and I take pride in knowing that I am making automotive dreams come true. You can call me with offers or questions at 323-467-7870 I do reserve the right to remove the auction at any time for any reason but please respect the auction process and don't wait until the last day to show up with the cash because Ebay does not allow an auction to be removed on its last day.
This is not a bargain car and the price it will sell for will not be low. This car is going up in value every year so you will be able to sell it for more than you bought it for provided you care for it. I just cannot afford to keep up my warehouse garage anymore and I refuse to store my cars outside.
7502 total of this car where made and who knows how many have survived especially in this condition with such low mileage.
