82 300D for sale

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1982 300D, 352K, has been daily driver for the last 7 years.

The good:

1. Doesn't use oil between changes.
2. Starts in cold weather without block heater.
3. Drives reasonably straight, stops good.
4. Has had AC re-done last year, $1200. (R-134)
5. New alternator a couple of years ago (Bosch)
6. New ignition switch, the whole thing including the housing, $300 installed.
7. Has a really nice JVC stereo, CD with removable face and remote.


The bad:

1. Driver's seat has usual split, seat rail is sticky.
2. Has small oil leak that is landing next to accelerator pedal.
3. Cruise is non-functional.
4. Power locks don't work.
5. Rub strip on right front is out of track, due to daughter's parking technique. Has minor dent where checkstrap let driver's door get away.
6. Heat comes out the AC vents instead of the floor.
7. Paint is fading off the top parts, no rust though.

Sorry, I don't have a digital camera, so no pictures are available. Car is located in Owasso, Ok. (Just north of Tulsa)

This has been one of the best cars I have ever owned, but I need something newer. $1200 918-376-2386

Yes, I did post it there as well. Just thought I would expose it to as many eyes as possible.
