1985 Mercedes-Benz 300SD Turbo Diesel This 1985 Mercedes-Benz 300SD shows 182,4xx miles and is in remarkable condition. The car has zero rust, has never been driven in the snow, and was professionally repainted in early 2025. It has been garaged since and is only driven in fair conditions.

The seat upholstery was redone in June 2025, the carpet was professionally cleaned, and new carpeted floor mats were installed. Recent mechanical work includes suspension refresh with new shocks and bushings, new injectors, glow plugs and relay, valve lash adjustment, transmission service, and fuel filter replacement. The ALDA has been removed for improved performance, and the EGR is plugged.

It passed emissions in May 2025. The car runs and drives extremely well, with tight steering and a smooth, comfortable ride. Power comes from the legendary OM616 turbo diesel, known for reliability and longevity.

Title & Condition Notes: The car carries a rebuilt title from 2007 due to minor parking-lot damage to the two driver-side doors; repairs were non-structural. Cosmetic wear includes aged wood trim, worn leather panels, and a cracked dash with cover. The HVAC currently blows through defrost vents only, and the A/C will need service to blow cold.

A well-sorted, highly reliable classic luxury diesel and the final year of the OM616 in the W126 S-Class.
