THE OVERVIEW
Offered for an appreciating new owneris this IMMACULATE rust-free 1984 Mercedes Benz 300CD turbodiesel coupe!
Finished in silver metallic over black MB Tex, this remarkable ALWAYS CALIFORNIA W123 coupe has had only two previous owners. My friend purchased it 17 years ago from the original Hollywood, California owner and it has been driven an average of 6,000 miles per year since new! This correct early "California sunset"license plate coupe sports a great running five cylinder turbodiesel engine mated to the factory automatic transmission with stopping power provided by four wheel disc brakes. Other features include cold air conditioning, cruise control, electric windows and sunroof, original alloy wheels with excellent Michelin tires, updated Alpine cd stereo, factory books with stamped maintenance book and more!Offered here with four-figure reserve,this is a great find for about the cost of the sales tax alone on a new Mercedes Benz E class!
THE BODY AND TRIM
The exterior of this 36 year-old Mercedes is in ABSOLUTELY REMARKABLE 99.99% rust-free showroom condition overallwith a deep lustrous overall shine to the paint finish. In addition to a blemish on the right rear rubber corner, there a just a fewminor nicks and light scratches on this stately classic!
THE INTERIOR
As I hope is articulated in the photos, the interior of this non-smoker 300CD is SUPERB, NEARLY NEW original condition overall with working speedometer and odometer, hot heat, cold air conditioning, electric windows and sunroof. There is some VERY light wear on the interior surfaces and only the left rear window needs a new switch or motor.
THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE
This 1984 Benz starts and runs virtually perfectly with respectable acceleration, solid shifting transmission, supple and quiet suspension, smooth responsive steering and straight and secure braking. A few minor items that would bring it closer to perfect include a small air leak from driver side window and some typical rear axle wear. Overall this is one amazingly smooth and solid classic driving machine!
