I was looking through Craig's list DC and found a 300TD for $1000. I called the owner and was told it runs pretty good, no rust (hmm) body good, interior good, miles unknown, back glass replaced with Plexiglas, eggshell color. I didn't get a chance to see it and anyway decided against it, but got an email that they'd sell for $500. If interested, call # below. Sorry, it's too far from me to check it out for you.

"1985 MERCEDES-BENZ 300TD WAGON. I USE THE CAR AS MY 3RD CAR AND ITS BEEN WORKING OK FOR ME. NOW IS THE TIME TO GET RID OF IT BECAUSE I DON'T NEED 3 CARS. THE VEHICLE HAS SOME MINOR MECHANICAL/COSMETIC DEFECTS AND NEEDS SERVICING, BUT IS STILL IN REASONABLE RUNNING CONDITION (RUNS WELL). I WILL ACCEPT THE BEST OFFER.

PLEASE CALL: 202 - 396 - 3710 LET'S MAKE A DEAL!!!!"

"The engine and transmission is good....and the car is running.* You can get the car for $500.00 and use as parts or fix-up.* (back light don't work, need brakes, etc. these are some of the things that would need fixing to pass inspection.* "
