There are rare finds and then there are life-time finds. Being offered at NO RESERVE:

- 1-owner, accident-free 1982 Mercedes-Benz 240D in amazing, all-original, rust-free condition with only 74,456 original, documented miles with complete service history. You simply won't find a nicer example on the market, now or in the future.

- 1 Owner, accident-free with only 74k miles. Maintained at Valley Motors Mercedes-Benz; always dealer serviced. No expense has been spared in the immaculate maintenance of this Benz. Take a look at the service booklet and carfax report. Complete service history since 1982 with documented mileage. As you can see on the carfax, the original owner drove about 1,500 miles a year over the past 10 years. This vehicle was garage kept, but wasn't just stored away. It was kept in amazing running condition.

- The condition of the Mercedes speaks for itself. It's hard to find vehicles even a few years old, let alone 30, in this kind of well-kept condition. It's obvious that the original owner cared for his vehicle appropriately. All original owners manuals included. 

- This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a classic 1-Owner Mercedes-Benz diesel, completely original, garage-kept, with perfect service history, accident-free, rust-free, with super low-mileage and in overall amazing cosmetic and mechanical condition. 

- Please take your time. I've included over 150 high-definition pictures of the Mercedes. Please allow enough time for everything to load, it may take an extra minute or two. The pics of the service booklet, free Carfax report, and autocheck are at the very end. If you are not seeing them, you may not be seeing other photographs as well; please refresh your browser and allow enough time for all of the pictures to load. 

- 2.4L 4 cylinder diesel motor is legendary. This is a motor capable of 500k+ miles easily. With only 74k and having been extremely well maintained, this one is barely broken in. Amazing reliability, durability and great gas-mileage. MADE IN GERMANY!!

- Starts on first crank, no smoke. Motor runs perfectly.

- Automatic transmission shifts great through all gears.

- Mechanically, the Mercedes is in exceptional condition and really rides beautifully.

- Brakes, exhaust and suspension are all excellent.

- RUST FREE body and frame. Take a look at the undercarriage pictures provided. It's nearly impossible to find these older diesel Mercedes in this kind of shape. Most vehicles just a few years old in the area have already begun to develop significant rust issues. This Benz was garage-kept and pampered by the original owner.

- No warning lights on the dash.

- Color matching Mercedes-Benz hub caps look great and wheels are wrapped in 4 matching BRAND-NEW Kumho tires. Wheels look amazing and really complete the look of the Benz.

- Manila Beige exterior with the matching hubcaps is a truly classic look. Exterior is extremely straight. A few very minor chips in the hood and one small touch-up spot on the left fender; but overall this Mercedes is in exceptional condition. All around, the Mercedes looks a few years old tops and is a real head-turner. The care and maintenance of this vehicle by the original owner since purchased new in 1982 is simply amazing and it really shows.

- Exterior chrome accents really complete the classic look. There is some minor fading on the chrome window trim; nothing major, still shines beautifully.

- Palomino LEATHER interior is in amazing condition. This is not Mercedes-Benz tex, this is full leather interior that is in great condition. No cracking. Not even the seat bolsters have the typical wrinkles/ wear. Front seats look new. Carpets look new. Rear seat looks like it's never been sat in. No rips, tears, stains. Headliner looks brand-new. There is some very minor sun-fading of the top bolsters, a minor surface crack on the dash and the cloth cover on the top of some the inner door piping trim shows wear. As you can see in the pictures, these are hardly noticeable and do not take away from the exceptional condition of the interior. We are up-front and want to mention everything, as minor as they may be. 

- NON-SMOKER. The interior still has that new-car Mercedes leather smell. 

- Original radio with cassette player! Even the power antenna works properly and the audio sounds great. 

- A/C blows cold. Heat blows hot. 

- Original Jack and Mercedes-Benz tools in the trunk, all original owner's manuals included. This is as original as it gets.

- If you're looking at this auction, you know how hard these Mercedes diesels are to find, particularly in this kind of original, rust-free condition. This is a true classic you keep for a lifetime. Use it as a daily driver, or put it in your personal collection.

- When buying a high-line classic vehicle, service, history, and condition are everything. THIS ONE HAS IT ALL!!

- With gas prices at a low right now, it's a great time to buy a diesel. In a few months when the cost of gas goes up, the prices of these rare Mercedes diesels will only go up with demand.

- This is really a rare find: 1-Owner 1982 Mercedes-Benz 240D with only 74k miles, RUST-FREE, complete service history, accident-free and being sold at NO RESERVE!!

- A 1-Owner vehicle is extremely important. The original owner paid full sticker price for this Mercedes-Benz in 1982 and maintained his vehicle appropriately in order to protect his investment.
