1986 300 Sdl

I traded in my 1986 300SDL

Black/tan interior

171k miles

New suspension Sept 2004
New belt tensioner
New Water pump
New Vacuum Pump
New Oil Pan
Brakes and rotars about a year old.
New Shocks
Changed oil every 3k miles
New Motor Mounts
New Sway bars
New Altenator
New Monovalve
All totaled about $5400. in R&R on this car since the beginning of 2004

Things that need to be done are:
A/C and Heater do work but most likely it needs a Climate Control.
Sunroof needs to be on tracks and working
Back of driver seat needs to be fastened, it falls off.
Seats need new pads and springs
Dash is cracked, but could either get a dash cap or if you want to really spend about $1000, and get a new one.

I was working to get this car into excellent shape but a career move forced me to get a truck. I'll probably get back into the MB cars soon.

I traded it into a dealer here in Austin, Texas. Anyone that's interested in locating it, you can Private message me or call me at 512-733-7541 or email me at: tomd2325@sbcglobal.net . Leave a message if i'm not in and I'll call you back and I can direct you to calling the dealer. It's a great '86 300SDL. I'd much rather someone from MercedesShop Forum get this car, because I know you'll take care of it. Here are some pics.

Drove by the Dealer yesterday and the car is still there for anyone interested. The salesman said, $8k and that they'd probably send it off to the Auction house next week. I'm not sure if he was just jerking my chain or what.

Your probably right, someone may walk in there with $5500. and they can drive home in it. Heck I put about $5500. in this past year myself.

He'd Be lucky To Get $3500 At Auction, Unless There Is A Dealer With A Passion For One Who Hikes The Bid Up. Heck I Bought My 300sdl At Auction 6 Years Ago At A Mb Credit Auction, It Was A PREVIOUS Lease Return That Was THEN Sold As "mb Certified" Then On The Last Year Of The Loan It Got Repo 'd, And I Paid Top Dollar Of $7000, And I Hadn't Even Seen It When I Was Previewing, So I Bid Knowing Only It Was The Color Combo I Liked. Luckily Upon Closer Inspection I Found It Had A Custom $5000 Rockford Fosgate System In It :d, But Then I Had My La Mechanic Put Another $3000 In Maintenance....this Was All Before I Knew About Any 603 "head" Issues.
