I finally got a 300 D. I like the dark blue and tan interior color combo.

It is dirty and needs a lot of little fixes inside and out but it very rust free. I only found one rusty spot under a door; floors are great.

The interior is ok but the dash is near perfect. I expected to see a badly cracked dash give the selling price of the car. The black seat are not original.

The body is pretty good. I could not find any filler or rust. It even has the controversial wheel opening trim. I will be removing these. I like the look but not the rust risk.

The engine runs but needs to have the tank filter cleaned as it loses power off and on. It does have a lot of miles; 330,000 on the clock. The odometer and trip meter work.

I going to put a battery in it now and drive some. It has current stickers :-)
