About this car
This 1984 300D is offered on eBay by swompscustoms in Heath Springs, SC. The asking price is $3,200. The car is finished in Grey, an automatic gearbox, power from a 3.0L Diesel I5 engine. The odometer shows 319,880 miles. The listing records a salvage title. The eBay title does not name the model; the car's VIN identifies it as a 300D. On a W123, the vacuum system, glow plugs on the diesels, and rust in the jacking points and rear wheel arches are the usual places to look first.
What the photos show
- Silver paint looks shiny and the panels look straight, no body money needed
- The badges read 300D Turbo Diesel, so it is the turbo car buyers pay more for
- The odometer shows 319,880 miles, and at that mileage a mechanical reserve matters more than cosmetics
- The driver's seat is split open with the foam showing, a retrim or a replacement seat is certain money
- The passenger and rear seats look intact under the dirt, cleaning money may save them
- Console wood is peeling off in flakes around the shifter, wood kit money needed
- The dash looks uncracked and the blue interior is complete, no parts hunt showing
- No engine bay photo is in the gallery, so I can't judge the engine bay
- No underside photo is in the gallery, so I can't judge the underside — on a 320k-mile W123 that inspection is the one that decides it
Money: at $3,200 the straight body makes it tempting, but the split seat, peeling wood and 319,880 miles mean you are buying the next round of bills too.
