[.otterhound]

I have a 1985 250D for sale. It is a Euro
model with 5 spd, manual windows and
steel wheels. Gray w/maroon int. and it has 183,780 mi. Overall in v/g shape with
only a few issues that are very minor. One
window crank is broken, a couple of
switches are bad and heater control valve
appears to be bypassed w/manual one. I
pd $6000. one yr ago and will consider
reasonable offers. Car is located on the east end of Long Island.
Thanks,

is this a W124 model car? could you post pictures? i might be very interested. thanks.

the 250D is a 124, but its an '85 so it will have the old style headlights. i think its an I5 w/o turbo. pictures would be great.

nevermind about the headlights, its got euros.

Nice car!

If I didn't have a W124, I'd be very interested!


What are the things that don't work?

[.otterhound]

Thank's for posting these pics. I kept getting a file is too big error. I've owned
this car for 1yr. and put approx. 2500 mi.
on it. The previous owner was a woman and replaced it with a BMW wagon. The
heater temp output is controlled by a manual valve under the hood. The ac condenser fan is controled by an addon
switch under the dash, ac does work well though as does heat. There are 2 switches on the console, fan & window defroster that don't seem to do anything. Climate control doesn't work but dash fan does. Also motor has about a 2 second delay when shut off. Other than that it runs really well, much "quicker" the 190D we had for awhile. It's a little cranky in cold weather but so is my Ford Powerstroke. The body is very straight with only a couple of parking lot dings and no rust that I've stumbled across yet. Previous owner said it got 45 mpg on the road, we've never used it on a trip just short runs around locally. We get around 35+/- with it. I'm selling it to finance a 2.8
Powerstroke into ou '90 Range Rover.
It's a neat car and I just want it to go to someone who will appreciate it.
Thanks,
Rod Anderson

I guess the pics have been purged. I can send them privately if anyone wants.

This thread is from APRIL ? And you still have the car... ?

[.otterhound]

Have not tried that hard to sell it. Have been enjoying it, but now have other
projects coming up and it needs to go to fund other follies.
Thank's,
Rod
