1986 Mercedes 300SDL

1986 Mercedes 300SDL Turbo Diesel LWB Sedan

This week Canyon State Classics brings to market one of the best documented and best kept 1986 Mercedes-Benz 300SDL Sedans on the Planet.
This car is very special in several ways. It is a two owner car which has lived a very pampered life here in the dry Arizona desert. It also had a MSRP of over $45,000 when new and is fully loaded! This was THE big boy car to own in the 80's.
      This car was bought brand new at Barrier Motors on September 23rd 1986 by original owner Mr. Michael of Phoenix, AZ who brought it to Arizona soon after purchase as indicated by very early service and warranty work at Phoenix Motor Company. This car was his pride and joy and always received the best care and service. He gave the car to a daughter and son-in-law in 2005 who
continued to show the love and care to this special car. Don't miss your chance to own the nicest SDL offered on eBay in a long time!
The following is a list of options as this 300 SDL is currently equipped:
    -3.0L 6-Cyl Turbo Diesel
    -4 Speed Automatic Transmission
    -Ice Cold A/C
    -Cruise Control

    -Power Door Locks
    -Power Antenna
    -Fog Lamps

      The body on the car is in very good condition and was extremely well maintained. The paint on the car is finished in its original color of Arctic White and has a brilliant shine and not a ding to be found. All rock chips were professionally touched up by airbrush. The car has been completely inspected underneath from front to back and is solid as a rock as any well cared for garaged lifelong Arizona car should be. All chrome trim, glass, and rubber seals are in great shape. The car looks as nice as the day it rolled off the Mercedes lot. It just had a full detail done at a cost of over $500 so this car looks spectacular! The car is accented by the original set of correct wheels which were just restored and wrapped in brand new Good Year radials.
     The interior is in very nice original condition all around. Its life long garage storage is obvious at close examination of the crack and fade free interior. The dash and door panels are in very nice condition with zero cracks or damage to be noted anywhere. The palomino leather seats are all in very good condition and look almost new, which shows the quality of leather used in this car. All wood grain is in excellent condition with only minor cracking visible around the shifter. The carpets are all very nice are not worn or damaged. The car also has BRAND NEW Mercedes OEM floor mats. All dials and controls function as they should, power windows and antenna also are fully functional. The sound system is also very nice with the original Becker Grand Prix sound system.  All lights, gauges switches, and accessories work as they should. The trunk compartment is very clean and does have the original jack, tools, and the spare tire and wheel. This car is all there and in excellent shape with all functions and accessories working as they should.
   Mechanically,
this SDL runs GREAT! I have owned nearly 20 80's and 90's era Mercedes vehicles, and this car blows the doors off all of them! The car starts right up and shifts smooth as silk. It drives as good now as the day it rolled of the lot. The Turbo Diesel engine is much more responsive than the normal version. It is reliable, easy to fix, and parts are readily available. The receipts show a lot of major work done around 100k including replaced transmission, new injector pump, new shocks, new brakes, new A/C compressor, new intake manifold gasket, new master cylinder, and I just installed Brand New Good Year tires on this beauty! The 3.0L Diesel Mercedes workhorse engine for nearly 30
years, so you know it is just plain reliable. The suspension is very tight and feels solid even at autobahn speeds above 90mph. The car was always regularly serviced and shows it in how flawless the car drives. The car is tight and right as any low mileage car should be with no current mechanical issues. This car is
100% fully documented with EVERY service receipt going back to 1986!  
The car will include all original books, huge stack of receipts, original spare, jack, tools, warning triangle in box, as well as the BRAND NEW (Last Set in Existence from MB) floor mats!
   All in all, this is THE cleanest and nicest SDL that I have had the privilege of being associated with. It has been professionally maintained and truly loved by its previous owners. This Mercedes is a fantastic car for the price and includes every option offered in this car. Any further questions please call Jon at
480-703-2337. The car is located in Sunny Scottsdale, Arizona.
