Description of 1984 Mercedes-Benz 300-Series 300D Euro W123 German Spec

Ebay's system wont accept the Euro VIN number. VIN # is - WDB1231301A089404
Up for auction is a rare 1984 (As listed on Florida title) Mercedes 300D euro spec diesel. This is a non-turbo. Car runs, drives and shifts great. This car was a garage find, and has not been driven in over 5 years. I have been driving it around Orlando locally, and no mechanical issues, and temp stays steady where it should be and oil pressure is also. This being said, I am going to offer it as a restoration project, AS-IS, AS STATED with NO warranty, returns or exchanges. Clean Florida title. Color is midnight blue with blue tex interior. No sunroof. 5 cyl automatic.
Now for what it needs, and what has been done -
A/C needs charged. All parts are present.
Dash is cracked, but a coverlay dash pad was put on by the previous owner.
Some small bits of rust in trunk at rear, where the bumper meets the body.
There was a rust repair performed in the early 2000's, in the trunk behind the driver side wheel well which I have a reciept for that totaled almost $900 for the repair.
Some minor interior parts need either fixed or replaced - Bulbs, minor trim, etc . Headliner is OK, but could use a good cleaning.
Seats are in excellent condition, with no rips or tears.
Carpet is in very good condition.
Interior door panels are in great to excellent condition.
Overall, interior is very nice and clean.
All lights work - headlights, tail lights, etc.
Light alloy rims in good condition, but could use a good cleaning or re-paint.
Paintwork is OK. It's presentable as a daily driver. Car was re-painted in the early 2000's, and looks decent for its age, but not a show car paint job, so don't expect it to be perfect.
Body is straight with no dents or exterior rust. All exterior trim is present. All body panels are original, and accident free.
All power windows work.
Euro bumpers are straight with no corrosion.
Headlight glass is in great shape.
Newer battery.
Does not burn oil or smoke.
Exhaust system is good and quiet.
Comes with a box of spare parts - switches, relays, trim, etc...
Exact true milage is unknown. Odometer shows 120k, but the odometer is not working, so mileage will be TMU. I do not know how long it has been inoperative, and not to mention, the cluster was probably changed to a USA spec miles odometer instead of KmH. The speedometer is working fine. Most likely its the old common W123/W126/W124 problem of that pesky gear.
No strange noises when hitting bumps, or taking corners. Shocks all seem to be good, with a nice firm ride.
Brakes work great, and pedal feels like it should.
Please note, as the week goes on and the auction progresses, I will be performing minor maintenence on the vehicle such as changing oil, coolant, getting tires balanced, minor detailing, etc. I will post more pictues of the underside of the car when I get it on a lift this week.
All this being said, it is the bidders responsibility to ask any and ALL questions, request photo's, etc.
It is the buyers responsibility to arrange shipping, or pick up in the Orlando Florida area. I may consider delivery within 200 miles of Orlando for an additional fee. For delivery, I have a company I can recommend that is very reasonable.
If you are local, inspection and test driving is encouraged and will be happy to assist.
Buyer needs to understand this is a 34 year old car. IT IS NOT PERFECT, but has a lot of potential as a great restoration candidate, while using it now as a daily driver. CAR IS SOLD AS IS, WHERE I, WITH NO WARRANTY, EXCHANGE OR REFUND. A $500 NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT IS DUE WITHIN 48 HOURS OF AUCTION ENDING VIA PAYPAL. THE REST IS DUE UPON PICK UP, OR PRIOR TO CAR BEING RELEASED TO THE CARRIER. I WILL NOT RELEASE CAR UNTIL PAID IN FULL.
