Used 1983 Mercedes-Benz 240D Diesel Sedan for sale in Encinitas, CA

Gorgeous, well-maintained classic car here! This 1983 Mercedes-Benz 240D W123 is finished in light ivory (paint #623). The cabin is upholstered in Palomino MB-Tex (vinyl) with matching carpets and features a black dashboard accented with Zebrano wood trim. It's powered by a 2.4-liter diesel engine with a four-speed automatic transmission. This car has been in California its whole life, bought new in Santa Monica in 1983. I am the third owner (to my knowledge). The car has been garage-kept since I've owned it. The transmission has been rebuilt (date unknown, confirmed by my mechanic) and fully serviced in May 2014. Paint (not original) is in very good condition. Interior is also in very good to excellent condition with all original aspects intact, including the tape deck + radio stereo (fully functional) and first aid kit behind the back seats. I also have the original owner's manual. Factory 14” wheels with matching painted covers. Electric sun roof. Crank windows. Automatic antennae can stick at times. AC has always worked great but needs a freon recharge. Chrome paint is flaking on the bumper. Clean California title. 214,000 miles.

I have all service records from 2013 to present. Recent significant services include:
