1983 Mercedes-Benz 240D

The W123 was and is the most successful Mercedes Benz ever sold, selling 2.7 million units in eleven years from 1975-1986. The reason for the success is a multitude of reasons beginning with the absolute classic and attractive design and the most important reason is for the durability, especially the diesel variants. These cars are still a common sight being used in third world countries being used as taxi cabs, exceeding 500,000 miles with only minor mechanical issues along the way. This particular 240 D we are pleased to present has traveled less than 160K miles which is pretty rare. The interior is all original and shows average wear but the seats are still in good condition. The moon roof operates as it should. The A/C does not blow cold and cruise does not work which is very common for these cars. The paint still shines nice and has average wear with what appears to be some hail damage on the top of the trunk lid. The car starts, runs and drives down the road very nicely with no shakes or rattles. This is a crank window car, which I prefer over power windows. The radio works, power antennae does not appear to go up or down but is in the up position now. This 240D would not be hard to bring back to a real stunner with a little work. I would personally drive this car to California and back as it sits.
