WTB: 87' 300TD Wagon (w124)

[DZLPWR]

I'm in search of a clean 87' 300TD Wagon.
Prefer white, silver, or ivory exterior. Not interest in burgundy or teal colors.
Condition must be excellent with no rust, dents, or tears, and must have a non-smoker history.
Maintenance history and records are of value to me. Low mileage is of course preferred, but not required. West coast car is preferred.
I'm assuming all w124 wagons have the 60/40 split rear seat and the 3rd row seat - both are preferred.
I don't plan to find the perfect car within a week so please disregard the posting date - this is a long term search. I have my 87'SDL to drive in the mean time -which is not for sale. My SDL has 270k with basically flawless original interior and I hope to find a wagon that has been as well cared for.


Thanks,

DZLPWR

Hey DZL -

I've got one of these, but it's not for sale. At least not right now.

FYI - they all came with split folding backseats; that was standard. The third seat was a quite expensive option - about $1400 as I recall. (I have the sticker for my car.) But most all seem to have the third seat option. The sunroof was also an option, albeit at no cost.

Good luck in your search. I've read we only got 5000 300TDs imported, and of course 1987 was the only year for diesel 124 wagons in the USA. In my experience wagons tend to get pretty ragged out - people buy them and use them for serious soccer mom duty. You'll need to be patient to find a clean one.

You might want to check ebay, I saw one (a'91) yesterday. It was white and seemed like it was going to go at a fair price.
