1985 Mercedes-Benz 300TD turbo diesel station wagon. Clean title. The car was donated to us a week ago and was running with absolutely no problem. Somehow it failed to start two days afterwards without an apparent reason. The starter motor works fine but the diesel engine won't start. It might be the glow plug circuit. According to the donor, the car had run for two years continuously without a glitch. Anyway, we are a 501(c)(3) organization engaged in news media and are not interested in keeping the car or repairing it. So our strategy is to significantly lower the price and sell it as mechanic special. Being a 1985 diesel, the car doesn't need to pass any smog check.

The car has been retrofitted to burn veggie oil besides diesel. The interior of the car is mostly pristine. The carpet in the cargo area is kind of dirty. Exterior paint is in very good condition. There's a chip and crack in the lower left corner of the windshield. Tires are almost new. Power windows work fine. Sunroof works, too. Radio has been replaced.
