Description

This vehicle has always been well maintained. Regular changes of oil, power steering, transmission fluid and filter and both fuel filters, all done ahead of time. 329,000 miles. Runs great! Engine has factory block heater which works perfectly. Also a new inline radiator hose block heater, which is an $100 add on. I've started this fine automobile at 10 degrees below zero with no block heater plugged in. Glow plugs are less than a year old, I replaced glow plug relay and timer at that time as part of my on-going restoration. All of the replaced, working original parts are included. There are $1400 in new and used parts so this is a GREAT deal. All of the master console switches on electric power windows have been replaced with new. Master vacuum valve in the door has been replaced. The original working one was saved.

I would start this car up and drive it anywhere on the North or South American continent without any fear. I average 24 mpg city, and up to 29 mpg highway. Suspension is great, I replaced rear struts less than two years ago and both rear axles have been replaced as well. Differential oil has been changed out to one of those super synthetic ultra quality differential oils. Alternator was recently refreshed. Several additional parts have been replaced with brand new. The used ones that were still good are included as well as a $100 set of valve adjusting wrenches and DVD. I have a maintenance manual and hundreds of pages printed DIY procedures. This car is easy to work on.  I have another $380 vacuum pump and brand new rebuild kit, just in case. Has original 1st aid kit complete with all of those great drugs from the 80's. The stereo has been replaced with an AM/FM CD stereo with auxiliary input. Tires have 80% tread left. Except for one edge of the driver seat, the Galactic Blue MBTex interior is perfect. Windows have a nice tint job. Great school car; slow, solid, yet cool. I do not want to sell this car. I love this car. It was my goal to drive this car the rest of my life. It has always been more reliable than new cars, I just need some cash to buy a house.
