Offered for sale here with no extra fees is a 1992 Mercedes 300SD with 170,000 original Dr. owned miles. I believe they have owned the car since new and the car was in North Carolina and Pennsylvania so it show no salt damage. Non smoker or pets car so it smells clean inside. The bottom of the car is really spotless. This Mercedes has no accident damage at all. As a matter of a fact the metal has original paint! The paint is 24 years old and shows frosting and could use a nice polish. The cladding is the plastic around the bumpers and down the sides which is showing the age as seen. This car has been serviced it's entire live but is still a car that would need care and attention. The car runs and drives down the road quite well. The motor fires right up and has that typical diesel tune. It keeps cool and is not leaking. The cooling system is clean the auxiliary fans both function. The transmission shifts really nice in all gears. The tires are all brand new condition and all matching. The alloy wheels are original but the clear coat is crazing a bit. The brakes are 4 wheel disk brakes and stop the heavy car easy. The suspension is in good shape and delivers a solid stable ride. The air conditioning system works. It has a new blower motor, resistor and cabin filter. The heat works well also. The air comes out where you are instructing it to. The exhaust system is in nice shape with no leaks. This car has many features that I will go through. The power locks lock all of the doors, trunk and fuel door. They work and the key fob works. Turn the key in the door and you can open and close the sunroof too! The power windows all go up and all of the way down. The sunroof opens, closes and tilts properly. The emergency brake functioins as it should as you will see in the pictures. I have the car in reverse, emergency brake on to show reverse lights and parking aid antennas rise. The radio comes on, I have the code but it is not working well. It crackles and has speaker fuzz sometimes. The power antenna is working. The power mirrors on both sides move all ways. The center mirror is power and works as well. One of the two power folding mirrors works and will fold the mirror in properly while the other one stays regular. The tilt wheel and telescopic steering wheel feature works properly. The seats move 12 directions and have 3 memory positions. The car has soft closing doors and trunk. Close it easy and it will pull the door closed the rest of the way. All of the doors with the exception of the drivers side left one do this. (actuator vacuum leak) The trunk will extend a handle so you can close it then retract. The car has a rest feature so when it is cold or cool and the engine is off you can push rest which engages a electric motor to circulate the coolant and keeps the blower on low. It will stay on for 25 minutes or so while you are out of the car and is such a nice feature. The windows on the sides are double pane to prevent noise and will not fog up. You will notice that the zebrano wood trim is in really nice condition. The blue interior is consistant as far as wear and age. The leather has kept up really nice and the blue dye has aged. The armrest blue is worn off the arm area. The dash is really nice. The console is very nice. The back deck is super with no fade. The first aid kit is missing. The books and maintenance book are in the glove box. I do not believe the cruise control is working. (lets assume it is not). The fog lights are yellow from the factory ad are very helpful at night. The lights, horn, signals are ALL WORKING. In the trunk you will see the jack, tire iron, full size spare mounted on matching alloy wheel to the car, tool kit and large size battery. NICE!! I have taken these pictures and am parking the car until you pick it up or have it shipped out so it is EXACTLY as you see it. It is 24 years old and kept up well but it is important to know it is going to require tlc and is sold in as is condition like any vehicle with over 100,000 miles and aged. These are a diamond in the ruff! Mercedes overengineered the W140 body style Mercedes and the car was over $70,000 new. These are heavy, solid, collectible, dependable cars that are going to appreciate in value and desire as time passes. I have a spotless clean, lien free, title for this car ready to deliver to you.
