Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1981 Mercedes-Benz 300TD Turbo presents a compelling opportunity with over $20k invested in recent mechanical and interior refurbishment, including a gearbox rebuild and comprehensive servicing. Despite its 221k miles, the extensive work and a damage-free Carfax report suggest a well-maintained classic wagon ready for its next owner.
Condition
8
The car is in excellent condition, with significant mechanical and interior refurbishment completed recently (over $20k in work). While it has high mileage (221k), the extensive list of replaced and rebuilt components, including the gearbox, suspension, brakes, and interior trim, indicates a well-maintained vehicle. The only minor detractions are the high mileage itself and the car being reported stolen and recovered in the past, though the Carfax is otherwise damage-free.
