I am helping a friend sell this vehicle and the information below is what was given to me for the auction. Up for auction is a very nice rust free California 300TD. This car spent it's whole life in California until about 4 years ago when it was brought to the east coast. It has always been garaged and never has been used during the winter months only in summer since being brought to the east coast. The body has been re-painted and it is very nice but only what I would call driver quality. A good sand and buff would do wonders for it. not perfect by very nice from 5 feet. The front seats were re-built and re-covered in the correct material. the balance of the interior is in good condition including the carpets and dash panel. no cracks. The things that would need attention are the trim around the inside of the door frames which you can see in the pictures and the center of the rear seat needs a small repair which can also be seen in the pictures. The front struts have been replaced and it also has new tires. It runs and shifts just fine and the glow plugs work great. Just hit the key when the light goes off and it fires right up. You will also notice in the pictures that were taken under the hood that the inner fenders are free from rust. The only mechanical issue is that every year you have to ad some Freon to the AC. It must have a very slight leak but stays cold all summer after having some Freon added. I would encourage you to have the vehicle inspected by yourself or a representative. Please contact me if you have any questions I will be glad to try and answer them. I can be reached at 570-460-8395 EST or thru eBay messages.
