This 300D runs beautifully and has received extensive care, attention, and recent maintenance to make it very reliable and enjoyment for its next owner. The original Becker Europa stereo remains fully functional, complemented by several thoughtful upgrades, including upgraded H4 headlights (that I purchased and are easy to install if someone wants the brighter lights). No cracks or chips or issue with the windshield glass.

As someone who has owned numerous W123 diesels over the past 30+ years, I can confidently say this is one of the finest-running and best-presented examples I’ve come across — smooth, powerful, and exceptionally well cared for.

Alot has been done to this car to get it to great running condition:

Just some of the work done (some records and receipts in hand):

Updated R134a A/C system with a newer compressor.
Upgraded climate control servo unit ($600 replacement, non-cracking version)
New alternator, belts, and motor mounts, engine trans mount, rubber airbox mounts.
Comprehensive valve job and Diesel Kleen fuel system purge with fuel filters.
New fuel lines, filters, glow plug relay, glow plug wiring, and rebuilt Bosch plugs

***Additionally, the car includes classic flat-look H4 front headlights for improved nighttime visibility, along with the original Bosch OEM units for those who prefer to retain the period-correct look. (optional to install - easy to do)

I welcome and encourage professional inspections or test drives for serious buyers. My schedule is flexible and I’m happy to coordinate with you or your inspector at my home.

Payment arrangements and transportation assistance can be easily coordinated to ensure a smooth and pleasant transaction. (if wanting to transport).

If you’re looking for a classic Mercedes that combines beauty, reliability, and pride of ownership, this 300D will exceed expectations.
