1980 Mercedes-Benz 300-Series Description:

You are bidding on a very beautiful and outstanding 4-Owner1980 Mercedes Benz 300SD TURBO DIESEL with a 4-speed Automatic Transmission and has 65Koriginal miles. This Mercedes is very fuel efficient since its a DIESEL engine with about 32MPG Highway resulting in huge savings on fuel cost. It runs and drives very well with smooth acceleration and shifts good from gear to gear. Also its very Quiet. This vehicle has only 65k Original Miles and for a Mercedes Engine it has many more miles to travel.

This vehicle comes equipped with MB Tex Vinyl, Power Windows, Power Door Lock, Mirrors, etc.

This Mercedes has Effortless power, sophisticated technology, elegant styling inside and out.

"Engineered like no other car in the world."

Although the car is 40 years old, it still drives like new. Having clocked 65,000 miles, the engine still has a lot of oomph... drove to the Lake District and the car's engine power could be felt on gradients where other cars struggled... the turbo diesel 3000 cc is a very powerful engine, and when it came out it was the quickest diesel.

These cars are easily capable of doing over 500,000 miles without major issues with the engine, provided the body does not rust away. I love mine, as I have maintained it with a specialist.

Pride, so they say, comes before a fall. That motto pretty much sums up Mercedes' fall from grace at the turn of the millennium.

The 300 SD sedan (American market only) had a turbocharged 3.0-litreinline-fivediesel enginedeveloped from theC111experimental vehicle. In September 2013, a 1979 W116 300 SD was campaigned in the 24 Hours of Lemons at Carolina Motorsports Park, where it completed 166 laps at an average speed of 54.8 MPH.[8]It won the highest prize of the event, the Index of Effluency. Other than mild issues relating to brake and tire wear, no mechanical issues were encountered. After numerous modifications to handling, the car was again run in February 2014 at Barber Motorsports park in Birmingham, AL. It placed 44th, but turned 281 laps at an average pace of 59.6 MPH. One of the key advantages of the 300 SD is its exceptional fuel economy on track, where it burns just 2.5 GPH (Roughly 18MPG). In July 2014 it placed first in class at Sebring. It is still active in the series.[9]There is No Rust on the vehicle. A Southern Vehicle from the Sun Shine State

The W116 S-Class incorporated a broad variety of Mercedes-Benz safety innovations.

Four wheelanti-lock brakeswere first featured as an option on the 1978 W116 S-Class. This system prevents the wheels from locking while braking. The system improves steering control during hard braking situations, and to shorten brake distances.Strengthened body structure. The W116 featured a more stable security passenger cell with a stiffened roof frame structure. High strength roof and door pillars, along with other reinforced zones, provided enhanced vehicle occupant protection.Deformation zones (crumple zones) in the front and rear.A padded dashboard, deformable switches and controls, and a four-spoke steering wheel with impact absorber and broad impact cushion aimed to reduce occupant injury during collisions.The fuel tank was no longer fitted at the rear end, but was now placed above the rear axle for added protection.Wraparound turn signals made it easier to communicate with nearby drivers.

INTRO:I've owned Mercedes and BMW's for years. They are strong, durable and get great mpg. Well it is a true fact that the older German cars are easier to maintain and less cost compared to the new ones. Back in the 90's to own one of these fine German cars you either have to be rich, old, or a drug dealer if you were my age back in the day. Everybody knows during that time if you owned a Mercedes or BMW, you had money and in that time of era cars wont even close to a Mercedes and BMW. Even Lexus was no where to being close to design and style. 20 years ago most cars were cheaply made but Mercedes and BMW were always Over Engineered during that time.This 300SD (DIESEL) needs nothing for inspection runs and drives great (will go anywhere).

WILL PASS EMISSIONS AND state inspections since it is exempt tires in good shape 80%No CEL engine lights on the dashStarts the first time

Background:
