1986 Mercedes S-Class 300SDL with straight-6 turbo diesel engine

This plush sedan lived in Texas from 1992-2005 so has a relatively rust-free body. Garaged from 2005-2015.

Cruise control. Reclining rear seats. Power headrests!
Rare long body version made only 2 years in the united states.

This car is very well preserved.  It has always started on the first try.  It has tires that look like they have 80% or more tread.  It drives nicely and I've taken it on a few trips up and down the oregon coast.
Rust?  A little bit.  Obviously small as you can see in the pictures.  A few stone-chip size spots on the A pillars and a few thin slivers of rust under a piece of the rear trim.  These have been neutralized with Permatex Extend product to keep them from spreading.  Two spots of rust near the rear trunk gasket also treated but not painted.  AC: I don't think it works or doesn't work well.
Testing: If you wanted to pay for a shop to give the car a look over I am willing to take it for a prepaid appointment to our local modern shop here called "Larry's Express Lube" which has ASE certified mechanics.  I could also take it somewhere else in Bandon.  

The fuel gauge doesn't work about 10% of the time until you get moving.  

The turbo makes nice power from about 2300rpm and above.  For a large car it handles very well.  
Not expensive to insure. its been a fun car to have but I have too many cars.  
I purchased this from an elderly couple in town who had owned it at least since 1992.
I tried to take some good photos so you can see the decent condition of the mats. carpets. doors. body. seats. console. gauges. etc.  Please ask any questions you have.
