This 1986 Mercedes-Benz 300SDL is a long-wheelbase sedan finished in Arctic White over Palomino leather and is powered by a 3.0-liter turbodiesel inline-six paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes a sunroof, automatic climate control, a Becker cassette stereo, cruise control, power-adjustable front seats, and 15″ alloy wheels. First registered in New Jersey, the car reportedly remained with its original owner until 2017 and was purchased by the current owner in 2020. Subsequent service is said to have included an oil change and replacement of the brake master cylinder as well as the air and fuel filters.
The exterior is finished in Arctic White (147) with contrasting lower cladding and features headlight wipers, a sliding metal sunroof, and a power antenna.
Factory 15″ alloy wheels wear a set of 205/65 Michelin Defender tires. A spare mounted with a Michelin MXV tire is stored in the trunk.
Palomino leather (274) covers the seating surfaces, arm rest, and door panels, while wood trim accents the cabin. Amenities include automatic climate control, a Becker Grand Prix cassette stereo, cruise control, and power-adjustable front seats. The air-conditioning system was recharged in 2020, and the radio was also reconditioned.
Standard VDO instrumentation consists of a 140-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and gauges for coolant temperature, fuel level, and oil pressure. The six-digit odometer shows 18k miles.
The 3.0-liter OM603 turbodiesel inline-six was factory rated at 148 horsepower and 201 lb-ft of torque, which is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission. Work performed in the last year is said to have included an oil change and replacement of the brake master cylinder, battery, hood pad insulation, and air and fuel filters.
Manufacturer’s literature, handwritten notes, and partial service records are included in the sale.
