1983 Mercedes-Benz 300SD Turbo Diesel (Only 1 Previous Owner!)

1983 Mercedes-Benz 300SD Turbo Diesel This Mercedes-Benz 300SD sedan has always been very well kept. I am the 2nd owner! Previous owner was a Mercedes club member and if anything ever needed to be replaced. it was with a genuine OEM part. No rust! No accidents! Great factory color combination! Even though this car came with a factory leather interior. it's been taken to the next level with an upgraded interior. including the door panels that carry leather inserts from a 1991 model. Additionally. a complete set of burl wood has been installed that makes the dash look as rich as possible. The dashboard is perfect and totally free of any cracks. and its magnificence should immediately capture the attention of all passengers. Click to enlarge any of the photos below. A link to a gallery of all the enlarged photos is available at the bottom of the page. Original carpet in very good condition. both inside the cabin and in the trunk. Air Conditioning and blower motor work well with all new vacuum elements. Radio is original and in good working order with its factory Hirschmann antenna. Engine runs great and transmission shifts as new. Suspension is tight with no rattles or squeaks. The exterior was professionally painted by a quality shop in its factory silver color. The paint job was neither easy. nor inexpensive. but the results speak for themselves. Along with the afformentioned interior upgrades. the exterior trim was also updated to the 1991 style. Brand new tires all the way around. Windshield was replaced with a Sekurit brand windshield. The 300SD was the most expensive diesel sedan of its day and this one drives like a brand new car. and even better than some new cars for that matter. The 300SD's 5 Cylinder Turbo engine has proven to be one of the best engines ever manufactured due to its durability. reliabilty. and mechanically simple design. It's no wonder these sedans made Mercedes-Benz world famous. They are truly built to last forever. You could literally jump right in and drive coast to coast without the worry of encountering car trouble along the way. And with the updated European headlights and bumpers. you'd be riding in a 300SD that is subtly distinct from all others out there. I highly encourage you to come out and see it in person and really get the real feel for it. You will not find a better car out there. We have a buyer inspection report from the Mercedes-Benz dealer that lists all that they see wrong with the vehicle. which basically amounts to a wet power steering gear box. a wet transmission (though NOT leaky). and a minor oil leak. commonly found on most of these diesel cars after surpassing 100. 00 miles.
