I'm posting this to help out a good buddy of mine. I wish I could buy it myself, but being laid off, my funds aren't there, so I suggested he let me pass this along to some forum members for a discounted price before he tries craigslist. Here's the info he sent along:

1982 MB 300TD. This car runs and drives great. I bought it to do a greasecar conversion but don't see myself getting it done any time soon, so it has to go.


The good: 15" tires, so the ride is better than the stock 14" ones and the fuel economy is slightly better. Runs like a top. I've been driving it around for the past month, and it has treated me fine. It has a fancy car stereo and new speakers in the back. The seats are in passable condition, with some wear and a crack in the driver's side.
The bad: rocker panels and fenders are rusty. Nothing an afternoon and some fiberglass mat couldn't fix, I just haven't gotten around to it. The bottom of the rear hatch has some rust holes. Again, this could be glassed up. The PA inspection ran out at the end of September. The tires aren't on the wear bars, but if you run into a stickler inspector, you might need new (or used to save some money) tires. Only the driver's side window works right now. It doesn't have the optional third row seat. The car runs a bit hot. It has never overheated, but I've had to drive with the defrost on high. Not such a big deal now that it's getting cold, but the radiator needs to be boiled out or replaced.


I'm looking for $800 for it.


email: pauledwardcarson@gmail.com

The car is located in Kingston, PA. That's northeast, right next to Wilkes-Barre.

Bumping. Moving to California in 3 weeks! Gotta get it sold!

Ac work?

CWC candidate!

Good luck with the sale.
