Looks like a great deal on a Euro import 280e parts car with velour seats and three piece Euro bumpers! Also it looks like it originally had headlight wipers back when it still had its Euro headlights. Looks like a pretty rare car, for around here at least. Just selling those bumpers alone would pay for the car itself, though I'm not really interested someone here may be.

I *just* bought a driver's seat in that upholstery ~ the spring box is super firm and I love it .

a very good looking 123 300TD and priced like they love it!
Would like to see service records before plunking down that sort of bucks!
And why couldn't they take a pic of the engine from the top or other side? and a flash?
FWIW, I see it is also listed on another platform (ClassicCarsMarks.com) with a few other details perhaps 1985 Mercedes 300td W123 DIESEL WAGON!!! CLEAN CARFAX!!!

If it’s really a 300E...
$4000 was probably the cheapest way to give a buddy a lot of money for swapping parts from JY cars. RF wheel bearing is “right front”. Correct? Is there any coincidence that the RF fender has been replaced with one from a diesel? And all kinds of stuff in that corner of the car is listed as being replaced?

Edit: I missed the “glow plugs”. My comments above are all garbage.

Comments not all garbage. This does look like a flipper. how many well maintained 135K MBs had to have a driveshaft rebuilt, 4K worth of work recently, with "a little more work to go". Nice none the less if mileage can be verified, and title is in sellers name which I doubt. Should go for around 3K.

Everyone sure like pointing out the "possible" bad stuff don't they...

sixto 03-17-2018 12:35 PM

I dunno... talk that coupe down to a realistic $1500 then swap the half baked CIS M104 for Ben’s 602 turbo and it’ll be a fun ride.

A shame really, this coupe looks like it could be made into a nice car but it's crusher fodder as it sits, he'll be lucky to get Pick-A-Part to haul it away .
