1995 E300 D Special Edition

Hi everyone, I have a 3 owner 95 that was always well maintained. First owner purchased car from Manhattan MB and resold it a few years later to the second owner whose wife used the car for everyday and twice yearly drives down to Florida where they spent the winters. This car has no underbody rust because it spent most winters in Florida. The owner always used synthetic oil and changed it frequently and had all services done by a local euro car tech. I purchased the car about 3 years ago and have put about 70,000 miles on it for a total of 200,000 miles. It is a true Special Edition which has the burl wood dash in excellent condition, Leather interior, stainless steel sill plates, different wheels, and the electronic locking differential. The phone is missing (no loss since you can’t use an analog phone any longer).

When I purchased the car I changed ALL the fluids and oils and filters and before this winter I changed the glow plugs. The car runs great and has lots of power; I have an 80+ mile commute mostly highway and always cruse at 70-75 mph. Always average 28-30 mpg at that speed. My father-in-law used the car for a long trip and with his lighter foot he never had to get fuel on his trip, it averaged over 34mpg over 450 miles.

The paint is very good but with some swirls and blemishes in the clear coat. The only rust is 4 small blemishes on the driver’s door where the door panel meets the lower cladding. Unfortunately last month I got cut off and ran off the road and hit a street sign. The license plate bracket broke, which I replaced, but the bumper is cracked and a small piece is missing. The sign hit the roof and dented it and the roof trim piece.

The interior is in good shape; Drivers seat has a little bit of wear on the seat back by the door but no rips or tears. Everywhere else is excellent. The headliner has got some creases but still looks OK. The driver’s seat headrest doesn’t move with the motor, I hear it working but the clip must be broken, simple fix but I haven’t gotten around to it. The radio works fine except sometimes the volume control has a mind of its own.

The AC was "Mercedes" cold last summer after I charged it, but I think it has a very small leak because it's only so-so now. I will charge it soon. (It’s 134-a from the factory so not a problem)

The tires are about 60% and upsized to 205-55-15. Sunroof works perfectly as does everything else including the headlight washers.

I bought the car to convert to run on WVO or bio-diesel but after reading up on the topic decided against it. Mechanically this car is excellent inside and out, but I don’t want to fix the rust spots and accident damage. If you are a good body man this could be a great value.

I would like $4000 but I am flexible. Car is in LI NY. If you’re interested I can send you some picks. The car is in my signature
