Vehicle Description
There are a number of automobiles that have forged a reputation for
long-term dependability, but this 1983 Mercedes-Benz 240D can boast
of a lineage matched by very few of them. As a member of its
manufacturer's universally respected W123 class, this trusty sedan
hails from a group that proved to be so rock-solid over the years
that it plied its trade for taxi companies all over the world and
routinely logged in excess of 250,000 miles or more with only
routine maintenance. Combine that reputation with this 240D's
diesel powerplant and you have a classic that's well-positioned for
many more future miles of service. It's a great-looking ride and,
with its sharp exterior alignment, it exudes an air of understated
vitality that's always a pleasant sight in a car of its vintage.
Mercedes-Benz tended to include a nice assortment of comfort
options on its cars long before it became the norm, and this '83
serves as proof - it features power steering, power windows and
mirrors, a rear window defogger, cruise control, and more. Take a
peek inside and you'll likely be surprised by the fresh condition
of the interior. The maroon leather surfaces of the upholstery show
no tears or staining, and the gauges in the instrument cluster are
crystal clear and functional, with a straight, uncracked dash cap
just above them. This rolling example of German engineering is
ready to be enjoyed right away!
