Maybe I'll buy it and redye the interior/respray the exterior. Then I will own every odd year 300TD Mercedes turbodiesel wagon.

Re: [MBZ] 81 300TD For Sale in Wichita, KS
As I am still on the prowl for a car for my eldest son, this caught my eye..that's why I asked. I'm not sure where he is resource-wise these days, do I need to follow up and see how close he is to pulling the trigger.

[MBZ] 81 300TD For Sale in Wichita, KS
My Indy usually has 6-7 cars for sale in addition to working on MB, BMW, Porsche, Jag, etc. He has a 1981 300TD (WAGON) with less than 150,000 miles for sale (I think it was 143,000 or so. He says he wants $2500. It looks to be in good shape. He said he has been driving it back and forth from Wichita to Lawrence, KS on the weekend because his son plays sports at KU. The drive is 300 plus miles round trip. I looked at it a little, and it looks decent. I did not drive it. It has two small spots of rust that I saw at a quick glance. One spot is on the passenger front door along the bottom. The rust is through the paint. It also has a small spot 2-3 inches wide along the wheel well edge on the pass rear wheel. Its tan/beige and the paint looks tired, but not bad. With a good buff and the Martha Stewart treatment from Dan, I bet it would look good.I can't tell if the rear spheres are good. I think they always look like they ride a little low in the rear, so it may be fine. Anyway, its not mine, but I do know the seller. If you want more info you can email me or call 316-263-2886 and talk to Raisa. Sorry, I haven't contributed much lately to the list, I have been swamped with work and an 8 month old! Donald H.
