found a gem today :)
1982 Mercedes Benz 4 Door (Diesel)

has 52,771 miles. Well actually about 20 more than that after I took it for a test ride

one owner car, a/c not blowing cold and tires need replacement due to dry rot, tread is near new but not safe for extended driving.

A couple of tiny nicks but a gem it is.

it looks good, but the dash appears to have been removed, it's not seated correctly. also, why are there hubbies on a 300D?

sorry, I meant the cluster is not seated in the dash right. the lens is sticking out of the dash.
the BIGGEST problem with our cars is the lack of verifiable mileage.
the ad states it's a one owner vehicle... is that owner selling the car?

The early 300s had them, my 77 300D had hubbies, but an 82 should have Bundt cakes for sure.

The cluster looks flush at the top of the dash, looks normal to me on my computer...
