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 & 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 still command a strong demand internationally, especially low mileage and well maintained and unabused examples. This particular model was obviously always garaged by its previous owners with no signs of any accidents and a clean CARFAX report and with all original parts and paint and absolutely no rust whatsoever! The original factory 'Deep Blue' color paint is in absolutely beautiful condition and the original 'Palomino' seats are also in absolutely beautiful and virtually flawless 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 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 options are working as they should including the A/C. The car will be sold with its original owners manuals and service manuals and the original window sticker and many service records. 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 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 such low original miles and in its original factory paint available anywhere else!
