1997 E 300D for sale

Has 260,000 miles about. Shifts and drives great still though. Needs tires and a lot of cosmetic work . The good is this car has been in family for maybe 8 years now and mechanically maintained. No rust. It's had all the fuel lines and glow plugs, crank case vent tubes (old and greasy again now) , tranny service. Has a new headliner and window tint. The headliner was not completely done correctly on the sunroof slider.

Me and my son got this mechanically sound for him when he was turning 16 as his first car. We put brand new ac system about 18 mos ago - compressor , expansion valve, drier -- so its nice and cold. Runs and drives and shifts perfect. He drove it for over a year and it never let him down.

He bumped into a few things with the bumpers like a gas station post and a telephone pole. Does'nt take much to destroy those plastic bumpbers. A few other things it needs are tires (bad) , some interior parts like rear view mirror , console mirror adjustment switch, kick panel under driver, rear right window regulator, hood ornament ...

Would be a good fixer upper or a good donor car if you have something you want the 606 NA engine and tranny in.

I may just fix it up if anyone has some parts too but i don't need the car.

Car is in Nashville, TN area. Asking $900 OBO as is. That's basically the cost of the AC parts minus labor. I think total AC reciepts were about 750 after the freon on belt and this and that. I think i got all the parts from Pelican. I'll check.

It can make a short drive on the tires. I'd recommend a trailer though or bring a couple spare tires with you if you want to drive it a long way. I air them up and they stay aired up a day or two of driving.

If you contact me i can shore more detailed pics of the trouble spots.
