1985 Mercedes 300SD - $1000

1985 Mercedes 300SD

5 cyl Turbo Diesel
Automatic
322,xxx miles

White with Red leather interior (not MBtex)
Two small cracks on dash and typical wear on drivers seat (see photos)

Car is in overall nice condition. I have owned it since 2000 (15 years) and have done all the maintenance on it myself. I have a stack of receipts from when I bought the car at ~180,000 miles and all service to that point was at the dealer in west Texas.

Since I have owned it I have replaced the vacuum pump, alternator, exhaust downpipe, and transmission cooler lines in addition to normal items like oil/battery/tires/suspension wear parts. In addition to that I have added a Euro front bumper and real Euro headlights.

It has been a third vehicle for my family for a couple of years and has not been driven much lately. When driving home Thursday I stopped at a red light in Godley and when I took off the car would not shift past first. It was shifting fine before this so I have no idea what is wrong with it. It could be something easy or it could be a major problem. The car shifts through all other gears fine.

At this point it is not financially viable for me to put much money into fixing it and I just want to get rid of it. Car should be towed, unless you don't mind driving 10mph on the way home in first.

I also have some spare parts that will go with the car...things like new oil cooler lines that I have not got around to replacing, filters, hoses, etc.

Car is located in Cleburne, TX 76033
