My neighbor down the street has a very nice euro 300D with manual trans (4 speed I think) for sale. It has cloth interior and is in great condition. Just over 100k miles I think. Interior had sheepskins for a while and the cloth seats are in excellent condition. It is that green that you either like or hate but still, I don't see these too often. No turbo but it does run very good and he is very meticulous with his maintenance stuff.

I think he would sell if for around $2800.

Location is San Diego/Spring Valley.

If you are interested, send me an email with phone number and I'll take it down to him. You can deal with him directly.

Is it possible to get any pics?

How much of a hurry is he in to get the car sold?

{on edit} Actually, just noticed that it has a cloth interior...if it's a turbo, it's my absolute dream car would he want to trade?

Does it smell like smoke?

Hi all,

1. I don't have any pictures. It is green with a sort of plad colored green cloth interior. The material of the interior is some sort of nylon stuff that looks like it would wear forever. The rubber looks good and the paint and interior great. If nobody told you, it could be mistaken for a 4 year old car.

2. This car is not a turbo car. It is a 5cyl diesel with a manual transmission. So I would imagine the performance to be better than a 240 and probably about equal to a 300 turbo diesel auto. I have not heard of any turbo diesel manual cars.

3. He also owns a 240D and a 300SD. He is stricken with MB disease and this car was just too clean to pass up. I know he paid more for it than he is asking and I'm sure the price could be pretty negotiable.

4. No smoke. He is not a smoker and the car was in a garage during the local fires. It does not smell like smoke. It is extremely clean.

Hope this helps
