Mercedes-Benz 300-Series 300SD (1980)
for sale

Price: US $7,950.00

Description:

This is the legendary Mercedes w116 Model 300SD, the last year for the type 116, 1980. The 5-cylinder turbodiesel has a reputation of lasting forever with regular oil changes, and has reasonable pep and good cruising speed. This is a very low-mileage car, with almost no wear. The upholstery has no breaks or observable wear, as you can see in the photos. The dash appears not to have cracks, and the original paint still shines, but has been touched up on one spot on the fender and one on the hood. There is a small nick in the RF fender molding where someone must have opened a door into it, and some light scratches in the chrome on the bumpers which appear to be polishing swirls. Most remarkable, however, is that I see no rust anywhere! Has it's original literature, including the parts manual. The car is in the range of a number 2 to 3 condition in the Old Car Value guide, which lists its retail price as between $9, 000 and $14, 000. Tach, cruise, vacuum system and AC all seem to operate, but the AC does not blow cold. After 35 years, the Freon has probably found its way out.
