Description of 1984 Mercedes-Benz 300-Series

BEING SOLD AS-IS, please no haggling over work that needs to be done, this is primarily a parts car.
This 300D could use some cosmetic work, but runs well. Unfortunately, the crankshaft pulley broke and needs a replacement (approx $300 in parts and labor). The car is otherwisemechanically sound, can cruise at highway speeds and was (on 12/5/17) checked out by a Mercedes specialist who checked it out. No limit, see details below.
Pluses
  • Already mechanically sound
  • Runs reliably; no trouble starting the engine
  • Turbo works
  • Clean interior and back seats
  • Recent oil change on December 5, included inspection
  • Brand new battery bought in January w/ receipt
  • Electronics work, though aftermarket stereo has issues

Minuses
  • Approx 250,000 miles + odometer stopped (though these cars are bulletproof and regularly reach 1,000,000 miles)
  • Front seats need replacement or covers
  • Brakes will need replacement in 5,000 miles ($50)
  • Rear axle will (eventually) need a replacement
  • Small cosmetic things: Not original paint (minor chip on the driver side, see pictures), window liners are a bit ragged, vanity mirrors need to be replaced
  • AC doesn't work; heat does
  • Rear left window won't go 100% up, it leaves a small crack open
  • Small dent on the front left fender, just behind the headlights
