Please DO NOT try to check out online to purchase this vehicle. If you are interested email - sales@mercedessource.com. This is not your typical " super low mileage collector car." Often when these garage queens are purchased the owner assumes he will not have to do any work on it. Surprise! 40 year old cars with less than 100K that have been "garaged kept" can suffer from decline just due to age. When you look at the list of things Kent has done to this 240D it is a good checklist of things you might be confronted with in any W123 diesel you buy that you want to make into a super reliable driver. Check out the cosmetic condition of this car then we will get into the mechanical work that has been done to restore it. Only 130,000 original miles, with all original paint that shines to a deep luster, no dents, no rust, quick starting, smooth shifting, pleasand handling and the best color combination! I know this may seem pricey, but a 240D 4 speed not even as nice as this one recently sold for $32,500! This car has investment grade potential plus you can actually enjoy driving it reliably.

You will have to agree all that listed above is a lot of work - probably more than I should have done! I estimate if you had all this work done at a Mercedes restoration shop it probably would have cost around $20,000. This 240D is ready and willing to drive across country or you can have it shipped.
