Happy birthday 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁 🎊 mate

Hard to find one like in such great condition for such low price even here in Europe.. My uncle had a 1980- W123 280-TE estate brought from new (a nice sparkling metallic Green +walnut interior he kept it in mint condition but after he died (RIP) auntie sold it to an old dentist doctor, after a period i tried to reach to it and re-buy it back for myself but the man does not want to sell it no more since still runs in pretty nice condition and is almost great to this day.. So, if Randy got such luck to find this beauty fix some little issues a fresh paint and white wall tires that 240D will not just look great but pretty much will run forever, these cars were simply build like tanks.. and after all, if he decide to let it go & sell instead of keeping it, he will definitely be sorry for it.. ;0)

Hi randy I'd like to see the m painted randy she worth it mate

Yee so true it's a real tank and car ✌️🤘

You have to spend a little bit of time and cash on your 240D, they are great cars. Used all over the world as taxis, it was not unusual to see them with over a million miles clocked up, they really are bulletproof. Besides, once it has had a paint correction (not sure you need to get it resprayed?) and a thorough valet, you won't want to sell it anyhow. These old cars make you change your driving style, for the better I'd say, you just mellow in them and the MPG is fantastic. Go for it, let's see her shine once more!! Great videos.

A lot of base cars were 4 speeds in the states. I also had one but it was a 1973 220D model.

No. There were a lot of manual 240D's in the states. I had two of them.

You must have missed the US headlights... A lot of 240Ds in a US were manual too. I don't think you know anything about these cars

That is true.. Es stimmt

Sounds like my peuegeot 205 lol which is also a diesel

That's from back when they were easy to work on.

My uncle currently has a w124 300d

I asking 4500, for mine,no title tho....but it runs,it need some tlc,1977 300CD 2 door.. automatic transmission.....!

Most pre 2006 diesel Benz will

Love the Benz. Great buy . she's a keeper. Fix air widow and grill left front hub cap paint. A real sweetheart

Uhm, diesel tank. Sorry.

@@thedaimlerden The wire sometimes gets stuff built up on it, and the float can no longer float up and down. sometimes it's as easy as wiping the wire down. Carefully, they are brittle.

Don't sell Merc.You have a oil filter in power steering pump clean it and change oil completely.Change oil in brakes,gearbox & diff

Haha. Squatch mobile lol!

+it matches the blue interior. ;0)

I agree on the whitewalls.

Whitewalls should be period correct for mid- '60's cars but coming to '83 these cars def. had no whitewall tires. But... it's a real classic for sure!

If I had the money I'd buy it right away

Thank you Dave!
