1982 W123 300D

I bought this car 6 years ago and has been my daily driver. It had 124K on it when I bought it. The Odometer stopped working around 140K. The current Odometer reading is 1695xx. My work commute was 20 miles for 4 years and 80 for 2 years, round trip. The trans gave out, I had another one put in and that one has now died.

The engine has some blow by and low power. No, I don't have compression numbers. A compression test was performed a few years ago and the numbers were good then. And no, I don't have those numbers either. It leaks oil.

The interior is in good shape. It's MB Tex. The driver seat has a scratch from getting in with something in back pocket, and is also "sagging."

I painted the lower half of the car a few years back. There were a few small rust spots that were fixed at that time.

It leaks when it rains. Needs windshield rubber.

It has brand new tires on it.

It needs a trans.

Asking $500.

Send PM or email if interested.

Thanks,
Mike

Black interior and no dash cracks! Wish I could tell a piston from a plug . . .

I need this car gone. Make me an offer.

How desperately do you want this thing gone? I'm just debating whether or not it would be worth the trip out from Chicago with a trailer and the Suburban.

In hind site I probably could have got more for it, but I needed it gone since I have another car ('55 180) coming home this Saturday. My wife would be even more upset if I brought another car home without getting rid of one first.
