1982 Mercedes-Benz 300TD Turbo at No Reserve

This 1982 Mercedes-Benz 300TD Turbo has remained registered in California for over two decades through the seller’s purchase in 2026, and subsequent work included adjusting the valves and replacing the turbocharger, air conditioning compressor, tires, brake pads and rotors, rear suspension accumulators, and more. Finished in Light Ivory over Palomino MB-Tex, the car is powered by a replacement 3.0-liter turbodiesel inline-five paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. Features include a sunroof, 14″ Bundt alloy wheels, a cassette stereo, cruise control, and automatic climate control. This W123 300TD Turbo shows 118k miles and is now offered at no reserve with the owner’s manual, a clean Carfax report, and a clean California title in the seller’s name.

The car is finished in Light Ivory and features a sunroof, fog lights, roof rails, a power antenna, and bright trim. The rear window wiper was repaired in 2026.

The silver-finished 14″ Bundt alloy wheels are fitted with Toyo tires that were mounted in 2026. Bilstein front shocks were fitted, the hydraulic suspension bump was rebuilt, and the brake pads, rotors, and rear suspension accumulators were replaced in 2026.

The front bucket seats and rear bench are upholstered in Palomino MB-Tex, and interior equipment includes power windows, a cassette stereo, cruise control, and automatic climate control. The window switch and hazard switch have been replaced, the center air vents have been repaired, and the wood trim has been refinished. The detached wood trim around the climate control unit has been reaffixed, and photos of it in place are presented in the gallery.

Instrumentation consists of an 85-mph speedometer, an analog clock, and gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, and fuel level. The six-digit odometer shows 118k miles, approximately 2,500 of which were added under current ownership. The fuel level, coolant temperature, and oil pressure gauges have been replaced.

The 3.0-liter turbodiesel inline-five was replaced in 2001 at approximately 65k miles, and it was factory rated at 119 horsepower and 170 lb-ft of torque. Work completed in 2026 is said to have included adjusting the valves and replacing the turbocharger, air conditioning compressor, fuel filter, fuel return hose, air filter, and battery.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission.

The Carfax report is free of accidents or other reported damage from its first entry in October 1999.
