1982 MERCEDES-BENZ 300T-D

I PURCHASED THIS CAR FROM AN ESTATE IN JUNE. IT WAS A ONE OWNER CAR PURCHASED NEW IN 1982 THE OWNER LIVED IN CALIFORNIA UNTIL HE WAS NO LONGER ABLE TO DRIVE AND WAS MOVED TO LOUISIANA APPROX 4 YEARS AGO. THE PICTURE OF THE BOOK ARE THE RECORDS OF MAINTAINENCE AND REPAIRS THRU THE YEARS. THE INTERIOR IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. PROBABLEY FROM BEING IN CALIFORNIA MOST OF ITS LIFE. THERE IS VERY LITTLE RUST ON THE CAR. ALL THE HYDROLIC LOCKS. WINDOWS AND BUTTONS WORKED WHEN I TRIED THEM. THE A/C IS WORKING ALSO. I PUT A NEW BATTERY IN THE CAR AND SHE CRANKED RIGHT UP. RUNS AND DRIVES BUT DOESN'T WANT TO GO OVER 35 MPH . I DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE CAR NEEDS. POSSIBLY JUST NEEDS TO BE DRIVEN. NEW FILTERS ETC. CAR IS SOLD AS IS WITH NO WARRANTY. ALL GLASS IS GOOD. CAR WAS DRIVEN ON A REGULAR BASIS UNTIL THE PAST FIVE YEARS. OWNER WAS METICULOUS ABOUT MAINTENANCE. I WAS VERY IMPRESSED WITH OVER ALL CONDITION WITH CAR ALL THE WOOD TRIM ON INTERIORARE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. THE LEATHER IS SOFT AND NOT CRACKED. THERE ARE NO SMELLS EITHER. THE TWO END WOOD TRIM PIECES FROM DASH HAVE FALLEN OFF AND ARE IN THE GLOVE BOX. I HAVE NOT HAD TIME TO DEVOTE TO RECONDITIONING THE CAR DUE TO A NEW JOB AND DONT WANT TO LET THE FINE CAR SIT AND DETERIORATE SO I HAVE DECIDED TO PUT IT UP FOR BID. THE BUYER WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PICKING UP THE CAR AND ALL EXPENSES ASSOCIATED WITH THAT. TITLE IS CLEAR. THIS CAR IS DEFINATELY WORTH REHABING I JUST DONT HAVE THE TIME. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE EMAIL ME OR CALL 504-908-6339 THIS WAS "THE " CAR IN ITS DAY. EVERY DOCTOR. LAWYER. AND EXECUTIVE DROVE ONE IF THEY COULD. AVERAGE RETAIL ON THE CAR WAS $9. 50 WHEN I PURCHAED IT IN JUNE. WOULD LOVE TO SEE SOMEONE REFURBISH AND ENJOY THIS GREAT CAR.
