Mercedes Benz Diesel Wagon 300TD W124

1987 Mercedes-Benz 300-Series Description

Mercedes-Benz 300TD

Really don’t know much about it, I bought it about four years ago from an estate sale. Plan was to part it out and use the engine, a 6 cylinder turbo diesel for a conversion project. But after cleaningit up I didn’t have the heart to take it apart because it has little to no rust on the body or under side. It didn’t make sense.It’s not perfect by any means but quite nice. Has what appears to be the original paint and I’ve found no evidence of prior body repair but it is faded on the hood and top. The windshield has a horizontal crack from one end to the other but fortunately below the direct line of sight. One headlight doesn’t work along with one tail light. Radio doesn’t work. One window doesn’t work, another is very slow. Motor always starts first or second try even on the coldest days though admittedly it’s never really below 20 here in Albuquerque. Motor and transmission have not leaked while I have owned it, in fact the motor is remarkably clean aside from a layer of dust.I was told when I bought the car from the estate that it was a daily driver prior to the elderly owner becoming ill and ultimately passing. It shows just 200k but I have no idea how accurate that is. NM title in my name but I’ve never registered/plated it, only drive it around the neighborhood periodically to keep things moving. The tires have plenty of tread and don’t look weathered or cracked but according to the date codes are at least 9 years old and feel to be a bit flat spotted. I wouldn’t recommend any highway miles without changing them.Will gladly Assist with shipping in anyway I can.
