1985 Mercedes-Benz 300TD Turbo Wagon
LOW reserve !! ...BID TO WIN !! The proven workhorse of the Benz family, as time goes on, more people are coming back to these Wagons because they have proven to go almost forever if taken care of. This one has been very well maintained and kept up and has just a nich over 300k on it. Lucky for the next owners its an Arizona vehicle so expect NO RUST OR ROT where you normally find it on Mercedes this old. I believe the rare ASCOT GRAY paint to be all original too. Cant verify 100% but looking closely all over the car, no signs of any repaint, previous damage etc anywhere. We suggest viewing our auction on normal large monitors and or tablet to get the most out of our large easy to view pics. Desert Survivor being sold by a very legit Ebay seller If you have any concerns about our vehicle, please ask or dont bid on it. Dont wait till after you win and then make up stuff on wondering if we are real or not. FEEDBACK !!! if you cant take 10 min to read thru our feedback on the cars we have sold here over the last 10 yrs, then you also shouldnt be bidding on our auctions. Ebay offers our Feedback rating for a reason,... try trusting it. BRIEF DESCRIPTION: This Benz Turbo wagon runs and drives well like youd expect for a Benz. Like most owners, its been well taken care of mechanically its whole life because the car has been well used over the yrs, it just doesnt look it. 303k miles on it while the car has spent almost its whole life in the dry Az desert or a garage. Interior shows well with working AC taboot.

So if you have under 10 feedbacks, Ill be emailing you if you bid to make sure you are legit, if we do please reply or we will cancel your bid. Up for Auction: LOW FAIR RESERVE !!!
DRIVETRAIN: factory Turbo Diesel with an auto trans and basic rearend. Runs, starts and drives nice. Lots of power on tap, and reliability for years to come as well. Trans shifts and feels great as well. INTERIOR: take a look at the pics, the tan interior shows very well for its age. The driver seat its crushed from age as the owner was a smaller lady who drove it all the time. Factory radio works well (power antenna not working) but the radio sounds fine. All PW work and were tinted yrs ago like most cars here in Az saving it from alot of damage. Carpets in nice shape. Wood and plastic in very nice shape too. SEE PICS ! Its a 30+ yr old car, but surely doesnt show or feel it.
EXTERIOR:the body very straight for its age, but this is a 99% rust FREE survivor. Original sheetmetal the best I can tell from 1985. The bumpers are in really nice shape too and original. The front grill and surrounds are in nice shape too. Rust or rot I should say is almost non existent on the body or under the car. Very cool factory color combo in and out. Much nicer by comparison to most Mercedes this old living on the Eastcoast. Chrome in nice shape outside. Paint is in nice shape for what I think is original. The area showing the most wear I noticed was the front leading edge of the hood only. That being said the paint is great for a driver, it could probably use a nice polish and detail to bring most of its shine back.
SUSPENSION:the suspension looks normal from what I can see Didnt see any factory air ride which in most cases is nice. Disc brakes all around. No wacky mods and surface rust at best. Makes coming apart a breeze. Its been maintained well and could feel no signs of excessive wear while tooling it around town. Tires are less then a yr old and look great on the factory alloy wheels. No rust under the car, making taking this car apart, almost a breeze !! Check out ALL the pics below ----->
it may take a full minute for them all to load ifyou have a slow connection, so be patient AND looks for the extra scroll bar on the right side. Az gets maybe 12" a yr of rain and Az very dry climate. more infoAFTER the pics etc. There are 100 large pics.
There you go, probably The BEST represented Benz's on Ebay. Shows you all the good as well as any bad. We put a lot of time and effort in marketing our cars. People wait months for a car this solid to come up for sale and even if you have to pay shipping to your area, it still beats paying a body shop to hopefully fix a rusty car forever. Having as much as the original steel on a non restored car these speaks volumes. Survivors are getting harder to find ! Also, if you buy a car thats been "restored", who knows what surprises are hidden under new paint or thick undercoating. People are flipping cars all the time when most of the jobs are fast, for a quick buck and quality suffers.
Email us with ANY questions before you bid please
Our Impeccable FEEDBACK speaks for itself. We show you as much feasibly possible via pics. Dont let auctions withlittle to no pics try to fool you. If they cant take the time to take pics of areas under the car they are selling, maybe its not the best car to buy long distance. With other auctions, you really dont know what to expect until you take the car apart. While we go over our cars ALL OVER with great pics to help making your decision easier. Along with ANY other questions you may have. Email me for a quote for shipping.

On Oct-05-18 at 01:16:32 PDT, seller added the following information: CORRECTION: for the INTERIOR: I meant to say, the driver seat IS NOT CRUSHED down like many this old, due to the owner / driver was a smaller lady for many of the last yrs.
