Vintage Beauty - 1982 Mercedes 300TD Wagon - Veggie Converted *As-Is*
Asking $3000 or Best Offer. I am in Asheville, NC. This car has been a daily driver for probably most of it's life. Runs and drives great. Solid as a German tank. It has a strong motor that some say could run a million miles and the automatic transmission still shifts smoothly. I honestly do not know how many miles are on this particular one, I think the best guess is somewhere between 300-350K. Here are a few things I would do if I had the time and resources to put into this beloved wagon: New windshield (has crack) Replace door seals AC works great, needs to be charged for the season Rear Suspension needs work Fix various cosmetic interior quirks, one of the back windows doesn't work and there are some broken plastic parts here and there GreaseCar Vegetable Fuel Conversion Kit installed. The system needs the valves replaced in order to run, this repair will be around $400-500 and well worth it. If you are able to do the repair yourself it will cost $200-250. SERIOUS INQUIRES ONLY PLEASE! |

Not to be mean but most here won't touch a car with a vegetable history. With the things that car presently needs and its history being run on veg oil few will pay much over parts-car pricing for it....which is probably around $500-800 or so.
Your price can pretty easily buy a car in close to mint condition, with no veg system.

i would have paid 10k if this was one of those 50mpg models, the only thing missing from the ad.
real price for this car is probably 800 to 1200 in good running shape im thinking.

nick=condition (if you didn't know).....i mean to say this forum is for the more discriminating aficionado; most here know what it is (and is not) within mere seconds of opening the page. asking $3k for that car on craigslist will have you waiting a while to see interest, let alone sell it.....on here? i'm guessing never

In all seriousness though, I've thought of plastidipping a set of bundts and/or primering my CD. It's not a horrible look if done conservatively, though the Sport Grill-esque double star action is a bit. |

those hippy tree-hugging Ashvillians will be lined up sayin' "shut up & take my money" when it hits CL.
love to have me a w123 300td someday, but being both picky & poor is killing my chances
