1984 300CD For Sale
Yep ;
Sadly it is time to let it go, I can no longer do the maintenance and I want to keep one Mercedes so my first one, the 1982 240D base model gets the nod . At $4,000 this is priced well below scrap value so I hope I don't have to send it off to the junkyard, they want it badly .

I posted a blurb about it in looking for a 300CD .
It has a 7 series Japanese made Sanden compressor and cross flow condenser but isn't working at the moment . New HVAC blower, rebuilt push button unit, working cruise control, high out put alternator, custom made all metal radiator, rebuilt tranny, fully rebuilt front suspension using all factory M-B Classic Center parts, on and on . Look at the pictures, it's scruffy but road ready to go anywhere . The price is scrap value .

CDs will always bring a premium. That rust spot hurts me. Makes me sad. The paint looks decent at least from the photos. Good luck with the sale!!

The value of this car in scrap is to a Mercedes breaker .
They'll dismantle it and get well over $20,000 by the time everything is sold . Parts are always worth more than an entire car .

Ok , I’ll bite , how much rust is she wearing , pics please , love the coupes , color is of the vintage . Interior is acceptable , maintenance items look well kept , mileage I know is always in the air but needed anyway , then , blow by , how much . Would it drive half way across the US to Houston ?

The trunk ,jacking points ,the floor rear , it’s places that hold water for periods of time that are the areas for rust , if she is a survivor it’s critical on how much cancer she has , sorry but clinically it is an exam .

Someone else already posted pictures, there's rust below the R/R corner of the back light every where else is solid and dry, under the battery, jacking points, trunk floor etc., etc.... .
I'd drive it anywhere at the drop of a hat . 4XX,XXX miles at this point . Upholstery is okay but nothing more than that, a rip in the driver's back rest is shown in the pictures, the top of the rear seats are split . I took it out to fill the tank this morning my grandson tells me I cannot sell this car, I wish I could keep it . Sunroof is inop .
