Vehicle description
1985.5 Mercedes-Benz 300TD Wagon Exceptionally rare and highly sought after 1985.5 Mercedes-Benz 300TD Wagon. This W123 Turbodiesel Wagon combines the bulletproof reliability of the OM617 iron head engine with a powerful turbocharger. Only Mercedes diesels produced in 1981 to 1985 offered this extremely robust combination of reliability and performance. 1985 represents the final year of production for this iconic Mercedes, and these are arguably the most desirable of the W123 Turbodiesels. Only in 1985 did W123 wagons receive a much taller rear axle ratio to boost economy along with a higher torque converter stall speed to help the turbocharger boost more rapidly. Both of these additions created a greatly improved driving experience over the versions of previous years. This particular W123 300TD is an ultra-scarce transitional version and incorporates features of the later W124 chassis vehicles, including a driver’s side Air Bag and updated W124 wheels. Still further, this 300TD has a full-leather interior as opposed to the MB Tex that you will find in just about every other W123 wagon. The driver and passenger seats have a very rare heating option, and this wagon is fitted with the very desirable rear-facing third-seat option as well. I can say with great confidence that you will likely never come across a similar factory-equipped W123 300TD like this ever again! This wagon has always been very well maintained, and starts immediately with the turn of the key without any hesitation, shaking or smoke. Recent service includes a fresh oil change and filter replacement and new primary and secondary fuel filters. The 3.0L Inline 5 cylinder Turbodiesel engine produces excellent power, and shifts are precise and timely. The steering is tight and the brakes are firm. All options on this wagon work aside from the power window switches in the center console and the air conditioner, which will need to be recharged in order to blow cold. The anthracite grey paint shines nicely and looks great against the black full leather interior. This wagon smells clean on the inside and there are no leaks, including the sunroof. Original manuals and maintenance booklet included. This Turbodiesel wagon is turn-key ready, extremely safe and reliable and an absolute blast from the past to drive! Although in very good condition overall, this is a vintage car and will naturally show signs of use and age. Please refer to the more than 130 high resolution pictures that I have of the car below.
