1993 MERCEDES-BENZ 300TE STATION WAGON; 4MATIC; 142K MILES; EXTRA WHEEL SET

FOR SALE IS MY 1993 MB 300TE 4MATIC WAGON. 142,000 MILES. AN EXTRA SET OF WHEELS AND STUDDED SNOW TIRES ARE INCLUDED IN THIS SALE.
THE CAR BODY IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. NO BODY RUST. PAINT IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. I DID HAVE A DEER RUN INTO THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AND FENDER A FEW YEARS AGO. THE BODY SHOP FOUND ANOTHER DOOR AND FRONT FENDER AND DID AN AWESOME REPAIR JOB. ALL THE MINOR SCRATCHES AND DING WERE REPAIRED AT THAT TIME. COLOR MATCH IS EXCELLENT.
THE INTERIOR LEATHER SEATS AND TRIM IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION WITH NO CUTS, TEARS OR STAINS. THE CARPET IS GOOD BUT FADED WITH AGE. THE ELECTRIC WINDOWS, SEAT CONTROLS AND LOCKS ALL WORK. THE RADIO IS THE ORIGINAL STOCK ITEM, WORKS WITH SOME SPEAKER ISSUE. THE AC AND HEAT WORK WELL. THE MOTOR RUNS VERY WELL. THE TRANSMISSION WORKS WELL AND SHIFTS SMOOTHLY; THE WHEEL BEARINGS HAVE BEEN REPLACED. THE BATTERY IS NEW.
THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE 4MATIC DRIVE SYSTEM. THE 4MATIC TRANSFER CASE WAS LEAKING OIL. I HAD IT REMOVED AND SENT TO A "SUPPOSEDLY" REPUTABLE TRANSMISSION REBUILDER. ALL NEW SEALS, CLUTCH PLATES, ETC WERE REPLACED. AFTER REINSTALLATION, THE 4MATIC FUNCTIONED PROPERLY FOR ABOUT A 1,000-1,500 MILES AND STARTED LEAKING AGAIN TROUGH THE VENT TUBE. I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO GET THE REBUILDER TO HONOR THEIR WARRANTY. AT THIS POINT I JUST SWITCHED OFF THE 4MATIC DRIVE AND USE IT AS A 2WD. I HAVE SINCE FOUND OUT THAT A COMPANY IN CALIFORNIA, CALL SUN VALLEY, SELLS A REBUILT TRANSFER CASE WITH A 2-YEAR WARRANTY FOR ABOUT A $1,000. SO, IT IS LIKELY VERY FIXABLE.
AT THIS POINT, WITH TWO OTHER CARS TO DRIVE, IT IS TIME TO SELL. THIS CAR IS SOLID AND RUNS STRONG. FOR A MB COLLECTOR IT IS A CLASSIC. I HAVE ALL THE RECORDS OF REPAIRS TO SHARE WITH AN INTERESTED BUYER.
