Beautiful Red 1982 Mercedes Benz 300CD-T Coupe in CA - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

ROLLGUY · #1 02-01-2011, 12:08 AM

This Beautiful Red 1982 Mercedes Benz 300CD Turbo Diesel Coupe is up for sale. Although it has sentimental value (my first 'Benz), I have too many cars now, and need to sell some. The car has approx. 202,500 miles on it with a working odometer. The engine usually starts first time, and the 4 speed automatic transmission shifts good. It has been adjusted to shift a little harder. The air conditioning blows cold with recent new compressor, drier, and 134A refrigerant. The paint is about 60% original, with the doors and fenders painted by previous owner (some clear coat peeling on passenger side). It has a Blaupunkt CD/AM-FM radio, but no antenna. The interior is very nice with only a few small cracks in the dash, a sagging headliner by the back window, and a few other minor imperfections. Has a recent new windshield and gasket. The passenger door lock vacuum element needs replacing (cause of vacuum leak). The TURBODIESEL emblem is off, and needs the little fasteners to hold it on. Any other questions or photos, call Rich (626) 824-4404 Located in So. Cal.
Asking $4,500

The color combo of this one makes it mighty tempting.

Sentimental value is a precious thing.

Yes I think it was. I think it was when Colin was here and we drove up to the mountains.

Patrick, your photography has a way of making everything look better than it actually is! I don't know about the guy in this photo, but the car sure looks great!

I like this one best. Also one of Patrick's IIRC.

When a member's car is for sale, we relive the memories as a tribute.

This was taken before going for three laps 'round the circuit:

Yes, second photo on post #3. That is the day I had filter issues. A new filter makes a world of difference!
