I am offering a 1981 Mercedes-Benz 300CD which is in excellent condition. I am the second owner and I purchased this beautiful car from the original owner in the fall of 2008. The car runs and drives like new and I have invested several thousands of dollars in this car to keep it in the exceptional condition it is in today. I have kept the car in the garage and did not drive it in rain or inclement weather. Having said this, he car is not in perfect condition but is as about as close as you can get. I have kept meticulous maintenance records. I have listed the improvements I have made on the car along with the things that need to be done. Please read my terms regarding a warranty.
