I am selling this only to get my Dream car, otherwise I would keep this until the day I die!
I have owned this car for 5 years.
I bought it with 157,000 miles on it. I believe I am the 3rd owner.

I have done many things to this car since I purchased it. I will try and list everything I can.
The car now has 206,000 as of today!
I have taken this car across the country 4 since I have owned it.
-Replaced upper control arms/bushings
-Replaced lower control arm bushings(within last year)
-Replaced upper and lower ball joints(within last year)
-Replaced front shocks
-Replaced engine mounts AND shocks
-Replaced fan clutch(radiator had been replaced when I bought it)
-Replaced lower A/C line
-Replaced All Rotors and brakes(within last year)
-Replaced fan blower motor
-Valve adjustments have been made
-Replaced most of Engine seals/gaskets, and while I had the engine out I also replaced oil pump, main bearings and rod bearings(old ones looked fine no wear) they came with the kit.
The car has a rust spot on the lower left hand of the rear window. I am taking this window out this week and cleaning the rust. I have bought new window seals for this window and the windsheild.
The only other rust was due to brake fluid leak, I have cleaned it all with ospho, and painted over the under side spot of the car. NOT THE ENGINE BAY. YOU CAN INSPECT THAT FOR YOURSELF.

THERE IS NO OTHER RUST ON THIS CAR ANYWHERE!

The interior is Dark blue, and is in great condition, the only flaw is a cracked dash which has a dash cover, and the wood coating cracking by window buttons. (usual)
The only thing that doesn't work is the cruise control( amplifier is out)
Paint is shiny, but is fading. I have many more pictures I will post, only one for now, internet is up and down! I can email more as well!
.......Picture will have to be downsized......... I will upload it tomorrow when I can get to MY computer.
..... pardon me I am in a "presidential hurricane disaster area"....... things are up and down

No this car did not see any damage from the hurricane as I took it with me and left my Land Rover.... That is how much I love this car!!!

Oh I am asking $3,500.00 I am negotiable though.
You can call me for questions 409-466-1234

This is a "perfect" 1985 300GD Turbo Diesel G-Wagen with 88k original miles. Absolutly NO RUST. Very clean, we have not talked about price yet, I had to ask him if he wanted to sell it, he said yes, I am waiting for further info

I am taking a chance here if I don't get it then

for selling my car.
