1997 Mercedes E300D Strong motor, Rust-free body

I really love this car but it was time to upgrade (I upgraded to a '99 E300TD). It has been very reliable and economical (28-32 mpg). These cars are made like a tank: thick metal body and great handling. Please look at the full description of the issues. I will answer any questions you might have. I recommend this car to someone who knows the value of these cars and has the expertise to work on its issues. I have owned the car since 2012 and my son owned for the 3-4 years previously. I replaced the transmission around 220. 00 mi. with a transmission out of wrecked car with 86. 00. It has had the 10-second pause after engagement ever since it was installed. It shifts fine after it engages. you just have to be patient. Please read all of the description. I think I have revealed everything. I am not interested in deceiving anyone and will try to answer any inquiries. In case you were wondering. it is Sold AS IS. no warranty of any kind is offered. This car can be viewed and test driven in Rockwall. TX and is for local pick up only!
