If the mileage can be substantiated this is a buy, assuming one can live
with the blah color scheme.

Re: [MBZ] Been in the family since day 1. 1985 Mercedes-Benz 300 d Sedan 4D, $7, 500

[Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes]

1. Sunroof wind deflector is inoperative.
2. Gold?  More like beige.
3. No engine photo.  Could be the troublesome CA version with the trap
oxidizer and unique, hard to replace turbo.
4. What's with those funky decals?

Once these queries are resolved it otherwise looks to be in remarkable
shape.

What in the world is below the ignition in the video? And those fog lights; 
those are odd. 
Very nice though. I’m really getting the itch especially when these guys

Re: [MBZ] G500 tail light issues

I can’t speak for a G500, but that vintage cars are set up that way.

Private email me the VIN if you like and I’ll look it up and see.

[MBZ] Weird impact wrench

[mitch--- via Mercedes]

Big hammer gives big torque with lower power, but low speed too.
Hard to imagine something that runs off a lighter socket breaking loose 
a 700ft-lb nut.

Is there a controller nanny for the lights?  Some module, rear SAM maybe?  See 
anything on a scan?

Re: [MBZ] Becker

It looks like they are pretty much plug and play.  

Max - is that right? Any cutting or splicing?

Ground issue?
Sometimes a bulb will glow dimly with no ground, if it can find ground 
through another bulb.

[MBZ] G500 tail light issues

[Dimitri Seretakis via Mercedes]

The tail lights, right turn signal, right brake light and reverse light do no 
work on my mom’s 2005 G500. The bulbs are fine as are the contacts in the 
housing- I know because I replaced some bulbs even though they looked fine and 
because the bulb for the right turn signal actually works when the flashers are 
operated. If you check the fuses for these items it says that they are 
“elektronic” - so there is no dedicated fuse to check or replace. Not sure 
where to go from here.
