Equipment
3.0/77hp, automatic diesel, wheel covers, sunroof, factory radio, power windows.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Quite a bit of surface rust underneath. Light dents in the wheel covers. Really tired and scratched brightwork. Pretty tired original paint, especially on the roof, and you probably can't be sure that the sunroof doesn't leak. Decent but old interior with cracks in the dash. Supposedly imported from the German market at some point. Old Mercedes diesels will outlive the apocalypse, and this one has quite a bit of charm even if it is really rough around the edges. Nevertheless, it is not at all a nice car and could use a thorough going through before driving it with confidence.
Market commentary
This 42-year-old car could have been bought for less, but it deserves some TLC regardless because once sorted and lightly refurbished it could last for another 42 years.
