Body is in amazing condition considering the age of the car. There is a rip in the drivers seat that could easily be recovered. There are 3 small areas on the body where rust has been remediated. but overall this car is in very good condition. The A/C does not work. but the heater does. There is a slow leak in the vacuum system. which affects the power locks. but that is common and fixable in Mercedes. The issue with this car will be rust in the undercarriage. I drove this car from New York to New Orleans in the fall with no issue. These cars are tanks! It's been my daily driver and I will be very sorry to see it go. The engines in these diesels are ideal for vegetable oil conversions.
