This beautiful classic 300TD turbo-diesel wagon has spent all its life in California. It shows in the absence of any significant rust! The only problem with the gentle dry heat of this part of California is that it bakes the finish and fades or brakes up the clear. So this one was repainted not that long ago with the correct two stage system with modern clearcoat that should last for many years to come. Inside, the front drivers seat on these W123 chassis cars are prone to sagging. So, again, this one was completely refurbished with a new base spring assembly, new padding and brand new upholstery. (I have the replacement upholstery kit for the passengers side too that will go with the car).
The engine and transmission run smooth and strong. Recent services include changing the engine oil and filter, replacing both fuel filters, replacing the air filter, servicing the transmission with new fluid and filter, etc. Brakes are great with new pads all around. Tires are good.
Now for the bad: It has a salvage title. I honestly don't know why. There's no sign of any collision damage that I can see (and I'm pretty good at spotting it), In California, older cars can get totalled out and then registered as salvage for a variety of reasons unrelated to damage. Also, the vacuum system needs attention--something very typical on these W123s. So the door locks, heater controls, etc., that work off the vacuum system won't work right until this is fixed. I just haven't had the time to chase it down. It usually requires a systematic inspection with a vacuum tester to chase down the leak and fix it. But the main items that run off the vacuum like the transmission modulator and the engine shutoff valve work fine. This car originally had the self-adjusting hydraulic rear suspension but it's been disengaged in favor of a simpler conventional spring and shock system. That does make maintainence much simpler. The orginal system could be brought back but a couple of missing parts (mainly, the hydraulic shocks) would need to be located and reinstalled. It does have a few other minor imperfections--it is a 33 year old classic after all. But I would get in this car and drive several hundred miles with no worries about whether it would make it.

Honda, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Mercedes also under diesel emissions scrutiny
Sat, Oct 10 2015The controversy over Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal isn't limited to the US. In Europe, where diesel engines are far more popular, the issue is shining a harsh light on the NEDC emissions test. As already known, the evaluation does a poor job of reflecting real-world production of NOx, and it appears a significant number of automakers are affected. The Guardian in the UK has been reporting on real-world test results from a company called Emissions Analytics. After the latest round of checks, vehicles from Mercedes-Benz, Honda, Mazda and Mitsubishi were found to generate far more NOx than they should. The newspaper also published similar results for Renault, Nissan, Hyundai, Fiat, Volvo, Jeep, Citroen, VW, and Audi. On average, the figures are about four times over the limit of producing the pollutant. Unlike VW and its defeat device, these automakers aren't actually breaking the rules. The vehicles perform up to the NEDC lab test for emissions, but those results simply aren't translated to the street. "The VW issue in the US was purely the trigger which threw light on a slightly different problem in the EU - widespread legal over-emissions," Nick Molden from Emissions Analytics said to The Guardian. A big fight to decide the future of this issue appears to be on the horizon. Automakers claim that they can't meet the next round of tightening emissions regulations and are asking for compromises. Although, spokespeople for Mercedes and Honda told The Guardian that the brands would be in favor of the stricter rules. Meanwhile, some European governments began backtracking their support of diesels well before this scandal came to light. The added scrutiny certain hasn't helped the future of the oil-burner.
