1982 Mercedes 240 D
306,000 Miles Clear Virginia Title
VA Inspected Until 8/16
Reasonable Offers Entertained- This Mercedes Can Be Yours Today!
This has a inline 4 cly Strong diesel engine, 4spd manual box.
Starts, stops, drives, handles all just fine. Doesn't smoke. Shifts smooth.
Top speed is around 80mph. Gets around 30 MPG-
No rot in the floors, and or trunk. Only real rust to speak of is the bottom of the front fenders, and a bit on the top of the drivers inner fender. Would be almost perfect otherwise.
All the windows, and sun roof work well. Heater blows hot.
It has been well maintained it's whole life. With that kind of mileage- it would have to be! Runs and drives like it has just a ¼ of that.
Has numerous service records on it. Even the original lot window sticker.

Here is a list of what could use attention. Just about every Mercedes diesel should have a list saying what needs fixed.
I'm just telling you them up front!
That Fender rust
The right Mirror is stuck, has a little one on it for now.
A chunk of foam missing from the wheel. Haven't a clue as too why.
The front seats sag a tad to their door. Fairly common among higher mileage MB cars.
No A/C as of now. With the tan interior, its not that hot... Maybe just a recharge?
The idle control cable is broken. Only is a minor inconvenience when starting cold. Thankfully it warms up very quickly.
As with most of these W123's, the fuel gauge has a mind of its own. It is great on diesel, so it has never bothered us
One of the yellow fog lenses has a crack-works fine though.
Vacuum door locks are non functioning.
In one of the underside pictures, you can see the drivers side floor is a kind of blacker than the rest. It was due to a oil filter housing leak. Just fixed that as the pictures were taken. A small drip adds up over time!
So in other words, it's rough around the edges. A good, dependable car would best describe it. Used with care, and respect.
This wonderful car is ready to drive away today. Tires are in good shape. Even comes with a full tank of diesel. Also every Mercedes Official repair guide I have(pdf) format.
Of course it has scrapes, dings, as something like this would. It is not perfect, but damn dependable.
