1983 Mercedes-Benz 200-Series 240D Description:

From Midland, Texas. In Missouri for past two years. Very little rust! Just completed $2,076 of repairs. Replaced injector pump, new fuel lines, timing and valve adjustment. Also, new glow plugs. Tires are relatively new. Starts and runs fine. Top speed is about 80 mph, freeway cruise at 70 mph, unless there's a long steep hill, then closer to 60 mph. These are not known for their speed.
Pictures were taken right after the car wash. Paint is very oxidized, and will need to be buffed-out and treated. Also, the pictures may make the ivory leather interior look nicer than it is. Leather and carpet could use a good, deep cleaning, and I don't want you to be disappointed.
Cruise doesn't work. All lights and signals work. Heat and fan are fine. Air compressor was removed years ago, and a new air compressor is in a box in the trunk for the next owner. Also in the trunk are new diesel injector nozzles (not needed yet), and new rubber mounts for the exhaust system (last owner bolted it to the frame, and you won't want that noise). Haynes repair manual too, along with a replacement OEM used chrome trim for the missing right front fender chrome. Rear dome light needs to be fastened up, and front dome light is missing. Odometer not working. Vacuum-powered door locks not working. Driver's window not working (not sure if its the switch or motor), but other three windows and electric sunroof are working fine. My next plan was to replace shocks and work on the suspension, though its drive-able as it is. I've driven a few hours at a time, so you should have no trouble driving it home, if you wish. The plates are expired, so plan around that.Transferred for work and must sell. Would love to get back the $4,000 I have invested in this, but will sell for half of that. Good luck bidding on a solid car!

I will put a new battery in it before you come pick it up. The current battery is five years old, and I've noticed that its cranking power is decreasing now that I'm not driving it as much.

The new battery has been installed. Great cranking power now. No electrical problems, just an old battery.
