For Sale: 1981 Mercedes-Benz 300D in Mooresville, North Carolina

Vehicle Description

HIGHLIGHTS: Beautifully maintained, ultra-low mileage Mercedes-Benz classic! This iconic piece of German engineering is in fantastic shape finished in its original Lapis Blue color. Sold new in Europe, this non-turbo 300D is a super unique example!

BODY OVERVIEW: The body on this 300D is clean and straight, as it should be for a car with this kind of mileage. Showing almost no signs of wear & tear, this car looks to have been meticulously taken care of all of its life. The body on this car is truly in incredible condition, and must be seen in person to be fully appreciated. Equipped with the trunk badge removal package, and Euro-spec bumpers and lights, this 300D has that sleek European appearance!

PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW: The paint is said to be original, and given the amazing condition that is not hard to believe. The paint has a deep gloss and a wonderful shine. There's just something about Lapis Blue that looks phenomenal on these cars! This is a classic Mercedes that is simply dripping with class.

INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW: Much like the exterior of this car, the interior is in the expected remarkable condition for the low mileage. The blue velour interior and power front/crank rear windows are other unique European-market additions that give this car a special feel. The seats are showing very minimal signs of use, and all interior components are in impressive condition. Even the original first aid kit is intact and in place!

MECHANICAL OVERVIEW: Under the hood is ol' reliable: the Mercedes-Benz OM617 5-cylinder diesel engine. The engine in this car runs like a clock; slow and steady, just as it should. Once at operating temperature, this car runs incredibly smoothly. If you let the glow plugs heat, it fires right up every time! The air conditioning and heat both work properly, and this car is a pleasure to drive. It isn't as fast as a turbo 300D, but it has enough pickup to be comfortable and will get you where you're going!

WHAT YOU'LL LOVE ABOUT THIS CAR: The low mileage and incredible original condition!

WHAT YOU MIGHT HATE ABOUT THIS CAR: If speed is your thing, this 300D is not.

DOES IT NEED ANYTHING? This is a beautifully maintained, crazy low-mileage, turn-key German classic in need of nothing but a new owner!
