Really worth in that price range?
This 1983 mercedes 300D turbo diesel, 4 door, W123 has issues.
Current condition is fair, IMPO.
Hood pad gone.
A/C line insulation gone.
Heavy handed power wash and detail of engine compartment.
Discoloration of front floor mats.
Discoloration of front seats.
Damage to trunk liner.
No picture of spare tire well, makes me suspect things.
Never painted = 22 year old weathered paint.
The air conditioning blows cool, probably needs a little charge.
The drivers seat is a little loose on one corner.
There are a couple of small wear spots on the drivers seat.
The front windows work, the back two do not.
There are a few spots of tree pitch.
Small normal rock chips

Adjusted the valves and did an oil change is a plus.
New power steering pump is a plus.

Kelley blue book is a waste of time on this one.
You either want it or not.
If I had the time to go look, I might consider it $1,950.00 USD
