Description of 1978 Mercedes-Benz 300-Series

Hi there. I purchased this vehicle off a person who listed it on ebay. I will tell you off hand that the speedometer does not work and is stuck at 41833 miles. I was told the car ran and drove great and drives like a 42k mile automobile and it was also mentioned that it had some miner electrical issues. I drove the car from Newark New Jersey to Maine with no issues. but the mileage seemed to be more than what was described to me. If I had to guess it's over 100k but not sure. I am just trying to be honest so I don't waste anyones time. The hazard switch is busted. which I think run the turn signals and running lights. Headlights work. The drivers window works. no other windows do. May need switches. To me that seems most likely as power window motors broken on 3 windows seems unlikely. Transmission shifts great. Engine ran great but is very slow on take off. I am assuming due to not owning one of these before that they are all slow due to only producing 77 horsepoer on such a heavy car. Power sunroof does not work. Radio does not work. Heater fan does not work. All could be fuses. No taillight bulbs. Body on this car is pretty straght and solid. Doors fenders quarter trunk and hood are solid. trunk pan is solid. the floors have had some repair. My intensions were to use this vehicle daily. I have change my mind due to not having time to deal with it. This car could be a good waiste oil canidate or go crazy with a chevy V8. Myself the v8 option sounds better. Also would make a fantastic parts car. Please ask questions before you bid. I will help load on car hauler but am not going to pay for shipping. I have 5. 00. 00 invested in this car. I will leave you what the other seller wrote about this car for your enjoyment. Thanks for checking it out. From Starstuddedseller:Offered for sale is this extremely rare and coveted 1978 Mercedes 300CD Diesel Coupe. This is a barn find with only 41. 83 miles showing on the odometer. The car Runs and Drives like a 41k mile Mercedes-Benz should. You can probably enjoy it the way it sits now. However this is to be considered a great classic car restoration project in order to bring this car back to its full former glory. It does have a bunch of little issues to be sorted out. mostly body and electrical. however it appears to be very solid and original. Please bid accordingly.
