1991 300D in Houston, TX

After 13 years of driving it I'm finally putting it on the market. Silver/burgundy (leather), 252k miles.

I have maintenance records for 10 years, over that time the following work has been done. Most of this is over the last 7 years or so:
Rebuilt valves (new head)
rebuilt turbo
rebuilt transmission (reverse, and 1st gear)
new A/C compressor (it is converted to R134, but I'm very happy with how cold it is, and I'm in Houston)
new A/C evap coil
new A/C blower fan motor
new shocks all 4 corners (bilstein heavy duty)
new radiator
new floor mats
tires are all matching goodyear with lots of tread left

This car literally drives like it's new, but there are a number of cosmetic issues unfortunately:
paint on the roof and trunk lid is faded, worn
a hole in the bumper cover below the drivers headlight
hole in drivers seat left bolster (about the size of a softball)
worn pass. seat bolster but no hole
worn steering wheel leather

I have a Pioneer CD deck in it right now, but i do have the original Becker tape deck in a box in the trunk.

Like i said, it drives fantastically. There isn't a single thing that needs to be fixed about the way it runs, it uses almost no oil (never have to fill it between changes), it is VERY fast, fastest diesel I've ever driven. I have loved this car well for a long time and I'd like to find a good home for it. I am *asking* $4000 for it, but I am open to any offer. Please let me know if you would like to take a look at it and we can make arrangements.

Andy

Oh yeah, I also have the W124 full Factory Service Manual CD's to go along with it to sweeten the deal. I also have like 5 keys, including the 'reserve' key and the valet key.

well typically I drive pretty fast and really only in the city and it gets about 22-24. Once on a long highway trip though i got up to 34mpg at 75mph.

Let me know if you want to take a look at it.

They show up just fine in Chrome. Bottom one is a little fuzzy cuz i think my finger was in the way a little. The URLs are from G-mail attachments. Does everyone else see them?
This is apparently my first time on the internet. I put them in a web album so they should work now. Let me know if they dont.
