This car needs a little TLC to get it were it needs to be but it will get the job done .Mileage is awesome, a full tank is like an energizer bunny, and these cars last forever! There are numerous 240Ds that easily push 500k miles and I've even heard of one reaching 900k. Amazing.
You can also use BioDiesel and if you wanted it can be converted to waste veggie oil (SVO or WVO)! Drive for pennies!
It's not a perfect car but I think it's a great car and I'm sorry to let her go.
This is a once in a lifetime rare deal, finding a classic car like this in such good condition with such low mileage!
1983 Mercedes 300D - $1895 (Jacksonville, FL )

Open to trade: am interested in 1970s: Ford, Mercury wagon, Chrysler, Dodge Plymouth wagon.
Went all the way to Dallas, Texas, and drove it to here.
Held the pedal on 70 mph, with room for more, felt like it would do 85 mph.
Engine is the five cylinder Diesel shaker (shakes at idle, revs up smooth).
Transmission: four-speed automatic.
Sun roof works; but, have apply-ed vinyl tape, to sun-roof, because of leakage.
Engine leaks some oil; and transmission leaks some T-fluid.
Exhaust does not have smoke, am thinking that much of the engine oil, and transmission fluid just leak out; although does not leave a big puddle on the ground.
Coolant appears not to have much anti-freeze in it, but, does have some; coolant is not rusty.
Good body, not rusted and corroded at door corners; no rust at window edges; paint does not have any rust bubbles under it; in my way of thinking, the body is the best part of this car.
Four good tires, about 70% tread; spare wheel matches ground wheels, spare tire is damaged, it holds air pressure, but is no-good, original factory crank-type jack , after-market X type wheel wrench.
Radio works, is factory with cassette; have extra radio.
Antenna is power, but the mast is broken and bent.
Doors fit well; one door has a broken stop strap.
Driver door had some damage, which has been repaired, noticed that the hinge bolts have been turned, indicate-ing that the door probably has been removed, and re-installed.
Driver door molding strip (rub rail) is gone.
Driver door lock works; passenger door lock will not work with key; but can be locked by pushing down on lock knob.
Power door locks are vacuum operated, do not work.
Rear door windows are up, but will not move.
Front door windows work as normal.
Crack (mostly vertical) in wind-shield, about five to six inches from passenger side post.
Wind-shield wipers work.
Wind-shield washers work (after I repaired them, with some new parts).
Hood has two-position hinge latches, both now work (I repaired one).
Exterior lights work, include-ing: head; park (one new bulb); brake; tail; license (removed, cleaned, one new bulb); and turn. (Have not yet tested back-up lights.)
Brakes work well, no grab, no squeal, no pulling to the side.
Steering is OK, but, a little too much play, and pulls a slight amount to the right.
Dash gauge lights do not work.
Fuel gauge works; but the low-level light turns on too soon.
Oil pressure gauge works.
Temperature gauge works.
Glow plugs work.
Speedometer works.
Odometer does not work; stop-ed at about 165,000; am sure, the actual mileage is much more.
Tachometer does not work.
Clock does not work.
Air conditioner blows cold, but needs some help; still is R-12 (think the air management doors are not working just right, more of that vacuum trouble).
The controls which work the climate system, are confuse-ing; and the vacuum system is a mess;
--that is the reason for so many vacuum control-ed items to be screwed up.
Engine does not shut off, as soon as the ignition key is turned off, another vacuum problem (am going to work on it).
When this car gets up and rolling, on the high-way, and the turbo is spinning well, the car pulls good.
In city traffic, this car needs to be pulled.
Maybe you have the time, talents, and experiences, and can bring this car back to its full potential.
Charge-ing system is OK.
Transmission shifts well, but can not be held back, with the shift lever, for better acceleration; but, it does have solid shifting.
Have an open title; still in the name of previous owner.
Exhaust system is OK, no leaks.
Have only two keys (one door, one trunk).
Car came with water-stained Haynes repair manual.
Do not have owner's manual.
Seat upholstery looks like it has been replaced, or is good factory original, no tears, looks real nice.
Floor covering is good, but the carpet for the driver needs help; all the other carpets look real nice; on the front passenger side, is a Mercedes mat, on top of the carpet.
Gas pedal has an hole worn through it.
Come look at this car; if you want to make a test drive, you must bring money, or your trade car, show your money to me, to prove that you
--have the ability to buy it (keep your money in your pocket during your test drive).
Paint has a clear coat, mostly peeled off.
Will send more photos, just say when.
Body is not all beat up, it looks nice; but, paint is faded.
Call: 850/321-3736 (Tallahassee, FL number; but, am in Jacksonville, FL).
You are welcome to send E-mail; but, you must include your phone number.
Will delete this ad, when car is sold..
