It's been almost three years since I participated on this forum, and it's good to be back!
We bought an '85 300SD Dark silver with grey leather interior, heated memory seats, very nice.
Bought it from the original owners son with 253,000 KM's on the clock. Sold in 1985 in Calgary at Lonestar Mercedes.
Has a little cancer starting in the rear drivers wheel opening, needs sunroof seal, back glass seal, driver's seat bottom springs, crack in the dash, new wood paneling kit throughout (sat outside on Vancouver Island for a year, moisture 'popped' all the wood), shocks, has Euro headlights but drivers side has eaten too many rocks!!
Other than these minor problems, the car is mint.
My wife is using it as a daily driver, and we're getting 770kms to the tank on average! I think the tank is a 75L.
