1985 Mercedes 300CD turbo diesel coupe leather interior orig paint gorgeous car

1985 was the last year Mercedes built the gorgeous 123 series turbo diesel coupe . They made these legendary cars between 1978 and 1985 . but only for 4 years with the turbo version . They are known to be the most reliable and enduring cars Mercedes Benz ever produced . You often find them with 500k miles and still running well . This particular was finished in " smoke silver" ( MB color code 702 " Rauch-Silber" ) with black leather interior . The leather interior was a rare option in 1985 . Since the car has only 181k miles on it and has always been garaged . the leather interior is still in great condition . There are no rips in the seats and the leather is still soft . Also the original dashboard is still in wonderful shape with only 1 tiny little tear on it by the right speaker panel . The wood is in great shape and still has the original shine to it . The straight body is in excellent condition and the original paint still shines like on a 3 year old car . Even though with a close inspection you will find little scratches here and there . it is hard to believe that this paint is already 29 years old . The smoke silver held up very well and it is a classic and elegant color combination with the black leather . But the nicest thing about this car is the way it drives . It has lots of power on the freeway and in town . It cruises effortlessly at 90mph and still gets between 25-27 mpg of diesel . It has been well maintained and it shows. Just within the last year the following things were replaced or attended to : -new motor mounts and engine shocks. - valve adjustment with new valve cover gasket . all new filters and fluids . - new hood insulation . -new transmission module . -new battery. new shifter bushings . -new breather hose . -new air filter mounts with buffers . - new pre glow time relay . new accelerator linkage . All the windows and the sunroof work they way they should . I could not think of anything it needs . This 300CD accelerates very nice . has plenty of power and the transmission shifts smooth . It would make a wonderful car to drive every day without the worries normally associated with classic cars . Or it would be a perfect candidate for a classic Mercedes collector . With the last year of production . the classic color combination and the rare leather interior option it would look great in any collection .  I did take lots of pictures and they can describe the car better than i can . But if you have any more questions or would like to make an appointment to see this car . just send me an email and i will respond quickly . I would prefer to sell this car locally to somebody who could actually come by and see it . ut i would also be willing to help with an airport pick up or shipping arrangements. All shipping charges will have to be paid by the winning bidder . Please have your funding in order and do all your " due diligence" BEFORE placing a bid . I would be glad to show this car almost anytime BEFORE the auction is over . This is a wonderful 29 year old classic automobile in great condition and it will be sold " as is " and WITHOUT a warranty . Thank you for looking at my auction and good luck !!
