1985 Mercedes-Benz 300-Class

Description Eastern Shore Classic Cars is pleased to present this incredibly well preserved 1985 Mercedes 300D Turbo Diesel with an astonishingly low 96,294 original miles! Know internally at MB as the W123, these models surpassed their predecessor, as the most successful Mercedes, selling 2.7 million units before production ended in the autumn of 1985 for the saloon/sedan versions. Notably, it featured the first Turbo Charged Diesel engine offered in a passenger car. The W123 gained the reputation of being well built and highly reliable. Many taxi companies chose the W123, and they were a common sight in Germany. Reaching 500,000 or 1,000,000 km with only minor mechanical issues, was common with W123s used as taxicabs. The fact that anything under 200,000 let alone under 100,000 miles like this one, is considered "low mileage" is remarkable in and of itself. This fine example of the 300D Turbo Diesel is presented in the light ivory exterior over Palomino leather interior. This is a one family-owned car maintained by the original owner. It has been garage kept and lovingly maintained over the years. A family illness now forces the sale of the vehicle. This is a rare survivor vehicle that has retained almost all its OEM parts. A close examination of the pictures and video will reveal no known rust and an interior of superior condition. There are no visible tears in the leather and the carpets are in excellent condition. There are no cracks in the dashboard. The trunk is immaculate. It includes the original Becker radio. The owner has maintained the service records for review.
