Vehicle Description Well cared for and rare higher mileage 1987 Mercedes-Benz 300TD Turbo Diesel Estate For Sale! Has a clean title in my name and Carfax, registered, inspected and on the road in Washington DC.
This is an all original, solid and straight vehicle, with original Black exterior paint and Palomino Leather Interior that I have owned and cared for since 2008.
It's a higher mileage vehicle that's a little rough in some visual details, but it always starts on the first try in winter and summer, and shifts and drives smoothly with little or no smoke.
It was a southern car before I purchased it and it's never been driven on salted roadways since moving north.
Over the years I've done quite a bit of maintenance and restoration work as described below, replacing or repairing many original parts using only OEM Mercedes-Benz equipment.
Fluids, filters and belts were changed regularly.
I've also accumulated a large selection of restoration parts, particularly interior seats and panels also outlined below.
I replaced the speedometer cable and instrument cluster just as the car was approaching 400,000 miles so exact mileage is uncertain, but I only put a few miles on it with the new instrument cluster so mileage is estimated to be a little over 400,000.
I'm applying for the 500 kilometer radiator emblem from Mercedes.
This car has been bulletproof mechanically but some body details and a few smaller things need attention.
I no longer have the time to take care of these myself and haven't driven it a lot in the last bunch of years, so I am selling it below market value.
