Vehicle Description
West Coast Classics are proud to present an absolutely exceptional
example of this one original southern California owner since new
1982 Mercedes-Benz 300SD Turbo Diesel Sedan in its original factory

virtually flawless 'Palomino' color leather interior, Mercedes-Benz
chromed alloy 'Bundt' wheels, original 'Becker Grand Prix'
radio/cassette, factory sunroof, cruise control, central locking.
power windows, power brakes, power mirror, power antenna, tinted
windows, automatic climate control and only 82K original miles! The
Mercedes-Benz W126 is a now legendary series of flagship vehicles
manufactured by Mercedes-Benz until 1991 and was a successor to the
earlier W116 series and was offered in a straight six, V8 and the
now renown turbo diesel models. The 1981-85 300SD model boasted the
OM617.951 3.0L 5 Cylinder Turbo Diesel engine which is now
considered to be one of the most reliable engines ever produced and
one of the key reasons for Mercedes popularity around the world
today as the ultimate long distance and durable touring car with
many models still being used around the globe as taxi cabs boasting
many hundreds of thousands of miles on the clock. It is an
economical and relatively quick with the turbocharger fitted car
and a legendary trouble-free engine. The Mercedes W126 300SD was a
US amp; Canada only import and offered a unique combination of
luxury, exclusivity, economy and reliability that could not
possibly be matched by any other brand making it the vehicle of
choice by countless diplomats, executives and other such entities
who recognized the attraction of the worlds first production turbo
diesel sedan. These luxurious cars with the OM617.951 engine, only
built for those 5 highly collectible 1981-85 years, still command a
strong demand internationally, especially such extremely low
mileage and well maintained and unabused examples such as this
particular car.This particular model was obviously always garaged
by its original and only southern California owners with no history
of any accidents and a clean CARFAX report and absolutely no rust
whatsoever! The original and very striking factory 'Champagne
Metallic' color paint is in absolutely beautiful condition and the
original 'Palomino' leather seats are also in absolutely beautiful
condition with virtually no signs of any wear and the original
leather dashboard and the walnut wood veneer interior are also in
great shape with no cracks or blemishes (obviously always garaged
from the elements!)The car drives exactly like such a well
maintained and serviced Mercedes-Benz Turbo Diesel with only 82K
original miles (ultra low mileage and extraordinarily rare for
these notoriously hard driven vehicles and virtually just broken in
for this legendary engine) should and must be seen and driven to be
truly appreciated! The engine is extremely strong with no
noticeable oil leaks and the temperature always remains cool. All
the power options are working as they should including the A/C and
the car was recently fully serviced by renown independent Mercedes
specialists in Los Angeles for rare turn-key piece of mind driving
today.Without a doubt, this is one of the finest cars ever built by
Mercedes-Benz, or for that matter any other car manufacturer, and
they are now becoming increasingly more desirable and hard to find,
especially with such low original miles and in such all original
and unabused condition, than ever before - certainly you will look
long and hard to find a finer head-turning example with only one
documented owner since new and with such low original miles
available anywhere else!
