(Extra belts and hoses included). Runs well on bio-diesel (B-20) and gets approximately 27 mpg. This carhas not beenconverted to straight vegetable oil, (SVO).

Original paint in great condition,although front doors have been touched up and repainted to eliminate dings. Upholstery in good condition, some sun fading on front seat backs and front armrest; front seat bottoms have been re-dyed - driver's seat shows some wear. (Seat covers could be the answer here).

The car was purchased in Southern California in 2006 and all maintenance records are available for the last twelve years of ownership.Original window stickershows the car was priced at $39,499.00.

As is typical of Mercedes construction for cars of this era, it is massively solid with lots of heavy, shiny chrome trim. Built to cruise on the Autobahn and keep passengers safe with its solid construction. Some mechanics consider the 300SD the best example of operational reliability ever produced by Mercedes.
