Description of 1985 Mercedes-Benz 300-Series |
I purchased the car in Texas from a fellow Mercedes forum member in 2016. I Few to Texas and drove the car back to South Carolina, Then about a month later drove from South Carolina to New York, through Maine and back. Since then I've driven it throughout the Carolinas for work. I've put a total of about 14,000 miles on this car. This is a California car. It has spent time in California, Texas, and South Carolina. There is no rust on the car. During my ownership I've replaced the following parts. Water pump - Mercedes-Benz Thermostat - Mercedes-Benz Short Coolant hose - Mercedes-Benz Adjusted Valves Valve cover gasket - Mercedes-Benz Fuel filter - Bosch Fuel return lines - Mercedes-Benz SLS fluid delivery line (tank to pump) - Mercedes-Benz SLS fluid filter - Mercedes-Benz SLS fluid - Melye SLS Rod on leveling valve - Mercedes-Benz SLS Coupler between line and strut - Mercedes-Benz SLS Accumulators Adjusted SLS suspension Repaired A/C condensation drain hose in interior of vehicle.

Compounded, polished, and sealed paint before photos were taken. Detailed interior. Probably more that I've forgotten about. I have rear subframe bushings and a diff mount to be installed on the car also. These parts are Mercedes-Benz. Not that it's not in immediate need of these items but just general maintenance that I had planned to do. It's going to be warmer this week and I might get around to installing them. If not, they'll be included with the sale. The car will have a fresh oil change for the new owner. Known issues: After startup, there is an audible clunk from the starter. I haven't had the opportunity to diagnosis this yet. Its been doing it for the past couple months. The car always starts, just clunks afterwards. B Passenger seat height adjustment doesn't work smoothly. Included with sale is a replacement seat base. Cruise control functions intermittently. Hatch seal has been repaired with Silicone and is functioning as it should. Included with sale is a new hatch seal from Mercedes-Benz. The hatch seal is no longer available from the dealer. Dealer price for this part was $235. 32 year old Paint. See photos and walk around video. There are minor scratches and blemishes. Driver side rear window goes up and down fine but clicks when all the way at the top of the track. Are there any W123's that don't do this? Rear hatch doesn't stay open when its below freezing. Included with sale are replacement hatch struts.
