More details
This 300D Turbo now shows 184k and is offered with manufacturer’s literature, service records, a Carfax report, and a California title in the seller’s name. The car is finished in Manganese Brown Metallic and features chrome-accented bumpers and trim. Additional exterior details include a power-operated sunroof, yellow fog light lenses, and an automatic antenna.
The seller states the windshield has been replaced and the windows have been tinted. The seller further notes the area between the top and trim line has been repainted and rust is present at the base of the rear window. Silver-finished 14” Bundt wheels are mounted with 205/70 Hankook Optimo H724 tires, and a matching spare is stowed in the trunk.
Stopping power is provided by four-wheel disc brakes. The cabin features seating surfaces upholstered in Palomino MB-Tex material as well as a color-coordinated lower dashboard, door panels, and carpets. Amenities include woodgrain trim, automatic climate control, cruise control, a rear window defogger, power windows, and a Pioneer stereo.
The four-spoke steering wheel frames a 125-mph speedometer, a tachometer with an inset clock, and auxiliary gauges. The six-digit mechanical odometer shows 184k miles, approximately 21k of which have been added during current ownership. The seller states the tachometer has been replaced.
The 3.0-liter turbodiesel inline-five was factory rated at 123 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque when new. Service in September 2022 included replacing the speedometer cable and rebuilding the power steering pump. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission.
The seller reports the fuel tank was cleaned and the sending unit and float were replaced in September 2022. The owner’s manuals, spare parts, and service records are included in the sale. The Carfax report shows no accidents or other damage and lists history in Washington State and Alabama.
The report shows a junk title/certificate was issued in Alabama in January 2021. A redacted copy of the current California title is included in the gallery. Filed under: w123
