1984 300D Turbo

$13,500.

I purchased this car in October 2007. I have always kept it well-maintained, and have full service records for the time I have owned it. I have always changed the oil, adjusted the timing, and performed proper service on schedule.
August of 2015 I had the exterior completely redone at a highly reputable body shop in Grinnell, Iowa. New windshield at that time also. Won a Top Award in the 2015 Grinnell, Iowa car show.
In July of 2012, with 248,000 miles on the vehicle, I had a new short block engine installed. This means the engine in it now has only 41,000 miles on it.
I have new seat pads and upholstery for the drivers seat - this is not not yet installed. I would estimate that 95% of the time I drove this car, I was alone. Therefore the other seats are in excellent condition.
I am moving to Arizona and do not have space for the car there. I really hate to see it go, as anyone who knows me knows that this car has been my pride and joy.
It is an excellent investment - my Mercedes mechanic called it the best he has seen.

Very nice! Do you have more pics, of the interior etc? You might as well show her off a bit. Also, what's total mileage now? Thanks and good luck with the sale!

Thank you - I will be posting more pictures soon. I am having the driver's seat reupholstered. I am doing some touch up work on the interior.
I really hate to say goodbye to this car - I was intending to keep it forever.
