I'm offering a 1984 300D for sale. Silver with blue interior. 217K. Toledo, Ohio. I’m selling the car because I realized that I don’t have enough time or money to work on this car. Instead of trying to make it my daily driver, I ended up buying something else.

The car has a good, long history, but I'll try to make it short and sweet.

I bought the car with 209,000 miles on the clock. The original owner stopped driving it around 199,000. He was a commercial pilot and took very meticulous records of the car's maintenance (nearly every fill-up was documented; all of which I have.)

After he parted ways with the car, it passed through two more owners til it got to me.

I suppose at this point I'll provide two lists: the good and the not so good. I respect honesty greatly, so I'm going to be very descriptive.

The GOOD!
The engine runs well.
I replaced the brittle velour interior with blue tex which is in decent shape.
Tires have less than 3000 miles on them
New motor mounts
New transmission mounts
New fuel filters
New fuel lines
New speakers and deck (JL audio and Kenwood CD Mp3)
New euro-style headlights
New BOSIO injectors
Replaced valve cover and gasket
New air filter
New shifter bushings
New Exhaust (all of it)
New rear-view mirror!
New brakes and rotors!
New shocks!

THE NOT SO GOOD
-The car's body is in GOOD shape for its age, but it will need some body work done very soon. There are a few small rust spots. One is actually rather large underneath the trunk wells.

-The injector nozzles are new, but I think they might need balanced. When the car heats up, my idle is kinda shaky.

-The car needs a valve adjustment.

-The car is leaking water into the rear seats and I think the front windshield seal is the culprit. The windshield has a small stone chip in it though so you might be better off claiming that on your insurance if you have a low deductible.
-The front seats do not have matching seatbelts. They came out of a 1979 240D and I've never been able to find any on eBay.

-The dash has cracks.
-The odometer stopped working about a day before I stopped driving the car.
-The clear corner lights that came with my euro headlights look terrible and should be replaced simply because they look dumb.
-The cigar lighter doesn't work.
-The vanity mirror clips are broken.
-The wheels need reconditioning.
-The air conditioner doesn't work.

I'd like to include some parts that I've purchased but have never installed:
-New timing chain and tensioner.
-New hood pad
-Valve adjustment wrenches from DieselGiant
-New valve cover gasket
-New air cleaner bracket with mounts

PM me for more details. All offers considered.
