1980 Mercedes Benz 300d Diesel Outfitted With Vegetable Oil Conversion 98k Miles on 2040-cars

Hello! Thank you for stopping by my auction for the 1980 Mercedes Benz 300d BIO-DIESEL. Here's a quick rundown of basics.

Automatic
98k original miles verified by receipts
Runs GREAT
Power windows, doors, locks, sunroof

Already outfitted to run on vegetable oil if you wish. Otherwise takes diesel. No smog check required.
28 MPG!!
Body, paint, and interior are very good
Air conditioner works!
Clear title and currently registered. 

Very nice interior. Seats are leathers and not torn at all.
Clear title and currently registered

Engine is strong and transmission shifts very well in every gear

 Now the particulars--I bought this from a 65 yr old man in San Diego (Coronado Island) who owned it for six years. He put lots of money and time into this to keep it an excellent looking and running car. THERE IS NEARLY NO RUST IN THIS CAR as it has been in California its whole life. This man bought the car from the original owner who lived in La Jolla and rarely drove it.

I could hardly believe it only had 98,000 miles but he insists its true and backs it up with receipts dating back to 2008 with correct mileages (93k, 95k) over the years which gives me good reason to believe it. Plus the man I bought it from has an incredible house on Coronado Island in San Diego and would have no reason to jack the mileage back!! I believe him--otherwise I wouldn't have bought the car.

 I guess the pictures will tell the story although the ones I have are just OK. Later I will post engine and trunk pictures or I can send them directly to you if you have interest.

 The car starts right up and runs excellent. It currently runs on diesel but has been outfitted with a conversion kit that lets it accept vegetable oil as fuel. I will post pictures of that later today. The previous owner says the Benz gets 28MPG. The only thing in the cab not original is the radio which is a very nice AM FM CD player with great speakers. 

All power windows, lights, brake lights, ALL dash indicators work great. Comes with TWO tanks presumably for diesel and bio-diesel.

It comes with a clear title and current California registration although it expires this month.

The only thing that seems to cut in and out are the turn signals. They work most of the time and then don't. All other electrical is sound. Some of the door vinyl material isn't perfect. You'll see in the pics but the basics are quite good.

If you have interest in seeing the car, having your brother-in-law from California check it out, or if you have any other questions not covered here, please call of text me at 619-341-9873. I'm an opera singer and not a car guy but I'll try to answer anything you may have.

Thanks!! Richard Stanford
