Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1978 Mercedes-Benz 300CD presents well with 43k miles, Gray Blue paint, and Blue MB-Tex interior, featuring desirable options like a sunroof and Becker stereo. However, past rust repair, a faded trunk lid, and interior cracks indicate it's a driver-grade classic needing some cosmetic attention.
Condition
6
The car has had rust in the rocker panel repaired in the past, the trunk lid is faded, and there are various touch-ups and repairs on the exterior. The dash and driver's door pocket also have cracks. While the mechanical components like the radiator, water pump, and belts were recently replaced, and the tires are new, these cosmetic issues prevent a higher rating.
