FS 1984 300d Turbo 4 door Sedan - jeffye - 08-30-2011
1984 Mercedes 300td 4 door Sedan
Car has roughly 190,000 miles
We have owned this car for the last 6 years during which we replaced or repaired:
Brakes
Injection lining
Exhaust
Window switches
Stereo
Many vacuum lines
Front ball joint and alignment
and more this is just what I can remember off the top of my head
This car is perfect for a new driver. It is big heavy and safe but you don't have to worry about paying for it at the pump. It would also make a great project car for someone who can do body work. The car is very mechanically sound, but the body shows it's age. This car is also capable of running off of straight vegetable oil or biodiesel with little to no conversion
The good:
Car runs strong
Great gas mileage (26- 27MPG) if not more
Perfect Highway cruiser
Large safe car
Oil heater still works
Leather is in great shape
Runs fully synthetic oil
A/C still works recently recharged
The bad:
Some body rust on the underside
Paint could be better but it is 26 years old so
Interior isn't perfect need some work basic things
Sunroof will open and close but lines and track need to be oiled.(motor still in good condition)
Looking for $2,000 obo
Thanks
Jeff

Sounds like a nice car. What is an 'injection lining'?

Thanks! Wasn't sure what to call them but I replaced the plastic synthetic wrapped fuel lines to each of the injectors
RE: FS 1984 300td - larsalan - 08-30-2011
Oh i see. Injector return lines? I dunno what they officially are.
Oh, and whats an oil heater?
Oil cooler?
Block heater?

The block heater, we plug it in overnight here in the winter for a nice quick startup in the morning

Sorry I thought this was a wagon at first... You have a 300D, sometimes called "300DT" in certain parts stores.

Block heater is in the water jacket not oil pan, right.
So it's a coolant heater

Nice looking ride at a good price. Bring it to the meet up next weekend and I'll kick the tires and leave a review.

Does look nice, wish I could stumble upon one like it closer to me so I could kick the tires. Been looking for something for my oldest kid since his current Galant is dying a very painful and slow death.
