Mercedes 1980 300SD Turbodiesel 73,500 mi

This is the legendary Mercedes w116 Model 300SD, he last year for the type 116, 980. The 5-cylinder turbodiesel has a reputationof lasting forever with regular oil changes, nd has reasonable pep and good cruising speed. This is a very low-mileage car, ith almost no wear. The upholstery has no breaks or observable wear, s you can see in the photos. The dash appears not to have cracks, nd the original paint still shines, ut has been touched up on one spot on the fender and one on the hood. There is a small nick in the RF fender molding where someone must have opened a door into it, nd some light scratches in the chrome on the bumpers which appear to be polishing swirls. Most remarkable, owever, s that I see no rust anywhere! Has it's original literature, ncluding the parts manual. The car is in the range of a number 2 to 3 condition in the Old Car Value guide, hich lists its retail price as between $9,000 and $14,000. Tach, ruise, acuum system and AC all seem to operate, ut the AC does not blow cold. After 35 years, he Freon has probably found its way out.
