I can't believe I'm doing this - but, I'm selling my 1980 300 SD W116 (5-cyl turbodiesel).. I'm asking $1000 and I'm willing to negotiate, to some extent..

The clock shows 91,000 miles - but the odometer hasn't worked in the five years I've owned it.. I would estimate actual mileage to be closer to 150,000.

The link to my current Craigslist ad (including pics) is here:

1980 Mercedes 300SD - 5 cyl turbodiesel

(You'll have to copy/paste into your browser, pls).

This car has been my daily driver for the past five years and - I have to say - it's been quite bullet-proof (considering how bloody cold it gets in upstate NY in the winter!).

Unfortunately, the winter road salt has taken it's toll and the rust has eaten away the rocker panel on the passenger side.. The photos in the CL posting show the extent of the rust..

I've recently purchased a 1991 560SEC - so the 300SD isn't getting the love and attention she needs..

The car is located near Albany, NY.. Feel free to call/text me with any questions (518.542.5015).. It'd be great to see Beulah go to a good home!
