1987 Mercedes 300TD - Misadvertised on Ebay - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

This looks like a nice 1987 Mercedes 300TD in FL. For those interested in a W124 diesel wagon, it may be worthwhile to check it out. It has 180K miles, looks clean, and is said to be rust free. It did not show the 3rd row seats. Is this an option or came standard for the 87 wagon?

I saw that already, what is the marking on the left side of the hatchback, felt tip marker?
why do you say misadvertised? because they forgot to mention third row seats? I figure they are novices when it comes to knowing anything about the car.
In fact it looks pretty nice to me!

(no no no I can't have/don't need another diesel wagon!)

SL class?

Perhaps the markings on the left of the rear door relate to the fish on the right.

It's listed under "SL-Class" on eBay.

I like to see pix of the motor and pix of the gauges with the motor running.

Looks Ok though.

Cheers,

Bill

Ahh yes I see now. Yup a seller that really knows nothing about their vehicle!

I think it's graffiti, somebody trying to write the words V-ery G-ood on it

Writings using a permanent marker on the white paint can be hard to remove!

Actually, I think it' surfing cariactures. The leftmost one is a "Hang Ten" style noseride on a longboard. The one next to it is "gettin' tubed". (just my guess, but then I'm a Southern California beach kid so everything looks like that to me)

I didn't know that the rear headrest could be put in the middle two holes of the 60% portion of the rear seat. You learn something every day. I would be afraid of any M603 engine without a personal examination. I pity the person who pays top dollar for this ride only to realize they are in for a $3,000 plus repair bill if the head needs to be replaced.

I can't believe this car is at $6,000 and was misclassified by the lister. Just think if it was in with the correct group of cars.
