Good morning...
I've made contact with a private party that is selling his 1979 300D. We've talked on the phone, he emailed me a 1000 pictures, and he's been very honest as to whats good and bad with his car. He's asking about $3000 for what I can tell is a very well taken care of MB. My major hold back is due to 2 items which I suppose could be major $$$. First, the heat isnt working for some reason or another. He states that the blower is working but no heat. Winter is soon here, and heat is a must. I've glanced at the post here to see what the possible causes might be, but who knows till you dig into it. Second, the power brakes initially grab as though the power brakes are working and then in order to stop, the pedal is very hard to push.
I really like this 300D but perhaps the 2 items I've mentioned should steer me to keep looking...any thoughts on this???
Maybe I should just do it.
Oh yeah, it has less than150,000 miles.
Thanks in advance.
