Spare 95 E300D for sale
Its Black with gray text interior.
200K miles. The bad first: its a good 20' car with some shady rust repair in the rear fenders and some more needed in the engine bay. Floors seem sound. Sunroof needs track repair. It opens and closes but pops up and causes wind roar on the highway. AC controls are wonky and don't appear to work as they should but it does blow cold. Mismatched tires with reasonable tread. Doors must be slammed to latch....maybe the wrong limit straps? The good: It runs very smoothly and has plenty of power. It gets over 30 mpg on the highway based on the limited driving I have done with it. Transmission shifts as it should. The AC blows cold at least it did back when I drove it when it was hot outside. Shocks and suspension feel solid with no loose joints etc. I believe the PO had a lot of front end work done on it. I replaced the diff. with a good used one. The interior is nearly perfect except for water damage around the sunroof. I have a stack of receipts from the PO. It is a car that is cosmetically and detail challenged but to the right person who needs an economical daily driver with a commute it is ideal. For someone with some basic body and paint skills it can be looking very presentable with a weekend of work. I hope someone buys it and runs it another 400K miles. The transmission is currently out of it as I was in the midst of a five speed conversion. Now I plan to either sell it as is with the original automatic tranny in the trunk or put the tranny back in and sell it running and driving. I am keeping the five speed tranny setup. Price running and driving $2500 obo. With the tranny in the trunk $2000 obo. Price includes new bump strips for front and rear bumpers and a lr quarter patch panel all new in box. At those prices I am taking about a $2500 haircut but that's the way it goes sometimes. Let me know if you have other questions. Tom PS sorry for the dirty black car in the pics.

Oh, its craigs list so the ad is too old and is gone. Here are some pics up for anybody that is interested. The drivers side rear is the worst, with lousy bondo repair job with totally incompetent sanding before applying paint. Tires are decent though.

More pics.
Engine is clean. Yes, that is a hole in the engine compartment covered by clear plastic and duct tape (hey, its only temporary....unless it works!) Drivers seat is decent with surface loss but underlying fabric good. Rear bottom cushion is in trunk.

still more pics
Sunroof hanging up a bit. Surface rust repaired with touch up brush at corner of rear glass. Tranny is not leaking or seeping. I am planning to go ahead and reinstall the automatic for sale. If someone wants to take it as is I will deduct the money and you can take the tranny in the trunk....but you need to move fast because I asked them today to go ahead with the re-install.

Hi Tom,
interesting, how long have you had it? Can you tell a little history on it? heated seats? Is a good pic of the dash, door bottoms and seats available too? thanks dan mcnamara Last edited by danmcn; 11-14-2013 at 05:31 PM. |

I can probably run out there on Saturday and get pics. I am pretty sure the dash is pristine. The seats are excellent with the exception of the small patch on the drivers seat I am pretty sure too. Can't remember about the heat in the seat. Don't know about the bottom of the doors...never looked. I've had it since the spring or mid summer. I have a fat file from the PO that I could look through perhaps finding some history there. He did a lot of repairs to it IIRC.

Your last sale on this forum made me question if I would ever advertise here. A bit surprised your trying it again.

I have sold things for 30 years and seldom ever had complaints. I have been in the landlord business for 35 years. I currently have 25 office and living units I own and manage. If you look on my ratings on the internet I have none negative.
One person complaining does not make me lose all faith....besides he maintained he was not complaining. Need a car?
