A rough but a real Euro 123 300TD turbodiesel $1250

Not for me but a friend is STRONGLY considering the car. $1250!

Good deal, the car's cosmetics are beat w/ LR sideswipe, but it runs/drives well. Silver/blue w/ 179k.

My question is, given the cosmetics/auto box, what are your thoughts relative to price? No WVO has touched this.

I'm admittedly a gasser guy, but understand the diesel has its grandstandings, one day I'll grab one as a DD (w123).

that sounds like a good price to me. The body damage is not as bad as I thought from your description, and should be repairable. If it runs and drives fine, that would be a good deal for a wagon.

it's a euro, there is a third choice, it could be cloth! my 240 5 speed has red cloth, and I have a set of blue cloth as well... I like the cloth. Leather is VERY COMFORTABLE!

and don't bet the farm on that mileage being accurate.
the speedo is definitely not original to the car.
look at the coloring of the needle/lettering compared to the other two sets of gauges.

It would be interesting to go to the Russian MB Club site and plug in the vin# http://old.mbclub.ru/mb/vin/?lng=eng

You could see what it came from the factory with.

The VIN shows electric front windows (but not rear), and seat heaters. Fabric blue/grey interior, double roller blind, rear headrests, locking glovebox, trailer coupling....

No A/C. Neat spec of a car.

all euros came without a/c to my knowledge, it's usually added aftermarket stuff, making it superior to the crap R4 the US models came with. mine has Sanden

Sandan? Would that be stamped on the compressor?
