Vehicle description
RARE ONE OWNER 1982 Mercedes 240D Diesel body w123 that just turned 50,000 miles this week! Color is White Ivory, which is the pale yellow, not the brighter yellow. Purchased from the family this month, I’ve had about a dozen of these cars and haven’t ever seen one in this condition, but I am holding out for a wagon. I hope someone can get this car and enjoy it for years to come, as you typically see this year and model with anywhere from 500,000-700,000+ miles.
This was a doctor’s car here in Tennessee which was a gift from the hospital in 1982. Apparently the hospital had a great year and gifted one to each of the physicians. His wife didn’t like the smell and sound of the diesel, so she rarely drove it. It always stayed garaged.
As soon as I got it, since it hasn’t been driven a lot in the last several years, I had a complete check over on it. I am very, very over-particular, so I wanted everything done first class. The belt at the alternator was loose, so I had all of the belts replaced last week. The alternator also wasn’t holding a good charge, so I told him to replace the alternator and go ahead with a brand new battery. The tires were fairly new, but had some dry rot, so I had them replaced this week with top of the line Michelin Defenders. The rear brake pads were suggested to be replaced soon, so I had that done while it was there. That service was $1564.
I also noticed the brakes were either sensitive or mushy, so the tech who’s always serviced the car in Brentwood, TN, recommended a new master brake cylinder and OEM brake fluid, which I did at $544.26 on 2/23/17.
At 48,953: Fuel filters replaced, New valve cover gasket, Diesel injector plug, Accelerator lever.
This one never had the optional hood ornament or passenger mirror, so I ordered those as well. If you aren’t familiar with the w123’s, they are known as the most reliable…ever…of the Mercedes fleet, as well as one of the most reliable vehicles ever produced.
The car runs great! Just like many of the w123’s, the gas gauge sometimes bounces. The bobber in the gauge probably needs to be cleaned lubricated, but I just reset the odometer anyway at fill ups. The AC is cool, not ice cold. Radio works great! Also typical of w123’s, the cruise control works about half the time. I’d replace the mechanism, but this wouldn’t be a highway car much for me.
I’d love to keep this car, but can’t justify it. It’s a fourth vehicle and I just don’t have the space and don’t want to leave it parked outside. I have an S-class and have had a bunch of these E’s, Glk, SLK, S550 and originally a C. These w123s are a really driving experience…just fun and so, so dependable. I hope someone can get this while it’s still so low mileage and show it the fun it deserves for a lot of years! Good luck! ! Vehicle sold as-is, no warranty in effect.
