This 1985 Mercedes-Benz 300TD Turbo was initially registered in Idaho and relocated to Washington State, where it spent approximately 31 years. It was purchased by the seller in California and subsequently relocated to Connecticut in 2022, and service in preparation for the sale is said to have included replacing the AC compressor, condenser, expansion valve, receiver/drier, temperature switch, and accessory belt. The car is finished in Champagne Metallic over Palomino MB-Tex and is powered by a 3.0-liter turbodiesel inline-five paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. Features include a sunroof, 14″ Bundt alloy wheels, a Pioneer head unit, cruise control, and automatic climate control. This W123 300TD Turbo is now offered at no reserve with the owner’s manual, a clean Carfax report, and Connecticut registration in the seller’s name.

The car is finished in Champagne Metallic and is equipped with a sunroof, a roof rack, fog lights, dual side mirrors, a power antenna, and bright trim. The power antenna does not actuate. Detailed photos of the exterior, including areas of touched-up paint and other imperfections, are shown in detail in the gallery.

Silver-finished 14″ Bundt alloy wheels are mounted with Hankook Kinergy ST tires. Stopping power is provided by disc brakes at each corner. The seller notes that the brake pads were replaced in preparation for the sale.

The cabin features front bucket seats and a rear bench trimmed in Palomino MB-Tex, and they were re-dyed in July 2024. Interior features include power windows, a Pioneer head unit, cruise control, central locking, and automatic climate control. The cruise control amplifier and actuator were replaced in September 2024, according to the seller. The carpeting in the rear cargo area shows signs of fading, and there are cracks in the dashboard. Additional areas of interior wear are shown in detail in the gallery.

Instrumentation consists of a 125-mph speedometer, a 6k-rpm tachometer, an analog clock, and gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, and fuel level. The six-digit odometer shows 180k miles, approximately 4k of which were added under current ownership. The seller states that the trip odometer can not be reset.

The 3.0-liter turbodiesel inline-five was factory-rated at 123 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. The seller states that the thermostat was replaced in July 2024, and the AC compressor, condenser, expansion valve, receiver/drier, temperature switch, and compressor belt were replaced, and an oil change was performed in May 2025. The seller notes that the monovalve was repaired in preparation for the sale.

Power is routed to the rear wheels via a four-speed automatic transmission.

The Carfax report is free of accidents or other damage.

The vehicle is being sold on its Connecticut registration, which serves as the ownership document in Connecticut. An “Antique” registered usage is listed, along with a “Historical” plate class and an “Early American Antique” plate type.
