1974
Mercedes
240d (diesel)
150k ish. Odometer broke a few months before I put it up this winter. Had it fixed right before I put it in storage.
Little to no rust.
Car came from Georgia.
Have maintenance records from dealership since purchased new.
I have had this car serviced and worked on at the porsche, benz, bentley specialist in town a few times.
Automatic transmission.
Windows tinted front rear and sides.
8 track player
Car was just detailed at the vw/audi dealership before winter. I don't have any pictures of it but it looks amazing.
As soon as I got this car I was driving it all over the place. 4 hour trips to chicago. 4 hour trips to Cincinnati. 2 hour trips to Indy etc. Each done multiple times. Its been very reliable.
I have however manage to tear the seat bolster on the drivers side from getting in and out of it.

Right before I put the car away when it was getting cold It was having an issue where it seemed to not be getting enough fuel. Not sure if I got some bad diesel or what. But as soon as someone wants it or spring comes im going to have the fuel lines replaced and filters checked even tho they were just replaced last summer.

I know it seems high but finding a 240d in this condition is extremely rare. Engines run forever but the bodies normally die well before the motor has reached its halfway.

$6000

Price is pretty high for a USDM bumper auto w115, pretty much the redheaded stepchild of classic Mercedes. Anyway, have you played with the injector pump at all? Might be the culprit on your fueling issues. I know my way around these old diesels Mercedes pretty well. And having fueling issues on top of a 52hp automatic from 40 years ago is about the most frustrating drive ever lol. GLWS buddy.

Finding one this clean this far north is a rare occasion. Price is very accurate.

Beautiful car.

I drove a 4sp version of this car, have to say one of the scariest cars I have driven just for the fact the turtle waling next to me was going faster. lol

Seriously nice car man but this forum may not be your best bet for selling it. Have you tried on the Merc forums? Wish more people kept these cars like you have; there would be more around for the rest of us:naughty:
