For Sale: Vintage 1977 Mercedes-Benz 240D Diesel
« on: July 06, 2015, 10:04:42 AM »
Vintage 1977 Mercedes-Benz 240D Diesel (Located in Long Beach, CA)
$4200 obo (definitely willing to negotiate for a mustachian home)

White, all original, 2 owner car. Low Miles: 118,000!! Daily driver, dependable classic in excellent condition.

I’m selling my lovely vintage Mercedes. She has been well maintained. I have all service records. Clean title, no accidents. I am the 2nd owner of this car.

Featuring:
sunroof
new radiator
newish brakes
newish tires
excellent interior
great upholstery (blue vinyl) - crack free, no rips
dashboard in great condition, crack free (one teeny crack!)
very little rust (~2 small spots)
great gas mileage for a classic car! 27-30mpg!
ready for biodiesel conversion
comes with original first aid kit, hazard sign, and mercedes toolset sold with the car in 1977
tow hitch
automatic transmission

Cons:
no air conditioning
seats could use some additional filling
cracked passenger-side wing mirror

This car is dependable and will go for 500k+ miles with little maintenance. The Mercedes 123s were some of the most reliable cars ever produced.
PM me for photos or any questions!

Wish I could take you up. My dad had that very model--we drove away from our wedding in it.

I am in love with your car. I'm not going to buy it, but I sure hope it winds up in the hands of someone who will take excellent care of it. What a fabulous classic.

How much is it rated to tow? How's the trans? Where's the rust?

Completely crazy... but it'd be a lot of fun flying out to pick this car up and drive it back to Ontario.

Oh - does it have cruise?!
