FS: 1984 300D (Maine)

I'm selling my Mercedes 300D because my wife is pregnant and we could definately use the money more than i need the car.

Good: starts, runs and drives well, shifts smooth with no flair(though the 2-3 shift seems a little early), ACC works, vacuum locks work great, all power windows work, all lights work. In the last year or so it's gotten new tires, battery and windshield. Sunroof works perfictly as well

Bad: A/C is non-operational, cruse control is dead, power antenna does not work, it leaks a little oil, seems to come from the back of the valve cover gasket. leaks tranny fluid from the seal at the neutral safety switch.

I love driving it and I'd love to keep it... But, with a baby on the way the money could definately be used elcewhere.

First batch o' picts:







Oh and the stereo is *not* included.

Price... $1850 OBO

I just wanted to add that if somone has a decent, inspectable, 'winter beater' they'd like to do a trade with let me know. I do need at least $1,200 (perforably more) out of the deal. So, if you have another car you're looking to get rid of that runs ok, and will pass Maine state inspection that is worth less than $900 maybe we can make a deal!

PS: I do prefer european cars

Do you know what is wrong with the a/c?
Any rust? Any pull or shake at high speeds?

No clue what is wrong with the A/C, it was non operational when I bought it.

There are a few little spots of rust, one under the driver side tail light, one or two on the edge of the rear door... But the edges of the fenders and jack points are all solid

does not pull or shake at speed, it is perfict on the highway, smooth and soild.
