The Mercedes 300CD, the ultimate turbo diesel coupe. 

I bought my ‘85 W123 sight unseen and drove it 1200 miles home. Not a speck of rust or crack in the dash. I had to get the a/c recharged and it kept me reasonably comfortable through the Houston summer. It is a fantastic car and gets a lot of positive attention.

I just bought a 82 300cd in Las Vegas and driving it home to Dallas this Friday

Nice W123. Love the 2 doors stile

Gorgeous example. I know an 84 year old gentleman with two really nice 85’s in covered outside storage, one of them the same color as yours. I’m hoping I can convince my friend to find proper homes for them before they start to seriously deteriorate. The roofline on these is a bit too short for me. My head will hit the moonroof, whereas in my 500 SEC it’s fine.

Shopping for one now. Thanks for the content

Congratulations man. That's a beautiful car.

Just found this video 😮 Beautiful Car!!! Love the 2doors🥰😍

Looks just like mine but I have an '84 in same color with Navy interior. Have 138k miles. Absolutely love driving it, gets comments everywhere I go in it.

Great ride playa, good for you.

You sir have great taste...regards from the UK

I just bought one of these, same color but black interior, turbo too. I didn't even know the turbo version was hard to find. Just searched, saw it and got it. Only problem is I need to fix the trunk lock. And yes, the more I'm driving it, the better it's getting. I just got the euro lamps, classic bbs rims and I'll do the euro bumper.

Lovely car. I have two 123 series a boggo 200 manual and a 280ce here in cape town. Love them both Actually use the 200 as a daily mostly. Love your car. Those bumpers should be easy to replace. cheers mate.

I own a 1982 300 CD Coupe turbo diesel, red with black interior. Will be putting it in market soon but not quite sure what the value is. Considering it's age, it has some issues relative to age. A beautiful car. It runs very well.

I'm about to buy one tomorrow, been looking for a turbo!!

👍

The bumpers are quite difficult to find. Every set I have seen is beat to hell. So....I still have the original. '85 300CD. 15-inch w140 wheels. Bosch EU headlamps.

I thing I got the W123 300CD TURBODIESEL bug and can't shake it off :))

Mercedes 240 300 w123 super

81 miles per hour?,was the pedal to the metal?. Really nice car,seriously.John M Guinto

I’m looking at a 1985 300d turbo… automatic , 170,000 miles on it… the guy wants 4K… are these reliable cars to keep on the road ? Thanks for any feedback .

Sight unseen means you purchased it without seeing it in person. You flew down and saw it in person, drove it, then purchased it. I like this model also but boy do people continue the tale that they run forever blah blah which of course isn't true. It is a good solid car though.

I’m looking at buying one from a friend. My wife is wondering if it would be safe to take our young daughter in and if a child seat would be able to be installed in the back seat

Gorgeous car, keep the car original, don’t do the Euro bumpers, I’m from Europe btw.

What is wrong with the bumpers

Why the 280 gas ⛽️ wasn’t that popular in United States

I guess ur state does not have a seatbelt law?
