1985 300SD
Mercedes 300SD, 1985 Diesel. VIN# WBDCB20C4FA118633
Bought this car almost 3 years ago for my daughter. She drove it for awhile before deciding she did not want the "maintenance" mindset involved with an old diesel. This 300SD has all the common problems related to this model: 1. vacuum system leaks and doors will not central lock 2. Rear window has fogged corners....which means the rear window seal has breached and the rear sill is corroding. 3. Rot on the left rear wheel arch 4. Trunk lid has rot. 5. Trunk pan has rot thru 6. Rear window's: motors and/or regulators need work 7. Rear passenger door check strap needs replaced. 8. Odometer not working.....wasn't working when I bought it, and never got around to replacing the little plastic gear. 9. Exhaust hangers need some work. 10. Motor mounts probably need replaced....I think 1 is bad The A/C system will need work. The compressor needs replaced and I don't know what else. The car has been parked for awhile and will need a battery. It does start.....and it drives. I'm more comfortable calling this a "running parts car" than anything else. It needs work.....alot of work. The interior has some issues, mainly with the wood trim pieces. Needs a deep cleaning. The body will need some work to correct the rot. The best thing about this car is the motor. It is solid!! I replaced all the fuel lines.....put in Bosio injector nozzles.....transmission filter....turbo air intake seals.....fuel sending unit. No oil or fuel leaks. Runs strong. I would rather have this motor in my 300SDL. Oil/Filters changed regularly since I bought it. 18" rims and low profile tires. Hate to see this car go, but my daughter got too far behind in maintenance and I don't have the time to get it caught up. I would recommend trailering it out......it would probably get you where you need to go, but I couldn't guarantee it. Email me any questions to: eelsfoot@gmail.com
