What a great vehicle. Too bad it didn't find a new home.
Was there a reserve? Was it met?

@Advocate_SLC Nevermind in U.S. spec question. I read more carefully and looked at the picture and found what I'm looking for. Still curious about the headliner. Thank you!
Is this US spec? Also looks like the headliner is hanging down - is that accurate or just a camera angle issue?

@Peterk I will state being still warm in Virginia the car does not smoke at start up right now. However depending on how long since the car was started last and how cold it is outside the car can initially smoke from the exhaust for a short time until it’s warm. As you state, it is a diesel. I have owned a diesel Mercedes for years, 1978, 1984, 1994, 1995, 2005. This 1995 is the absolute best out of all them.
@Bifo5401 hi - looking at my records 2017 the glow plug control was replaced. 2018 all fuses replaced to newer design, brakes cleaned and lubricated, headlight washer hoses replaced. 2020 window guides lubricated, low wire hanging below number secured, windshield washer hose repaired. 2021 battery replaced and both front ball joints replaced. A right front window switch was also replaced. 2022 to date were just normal services.
@Lcrboyle Good Day - Really anything major, larger expense items. Thanks - B
It being diesel, there may be smoke while warming up.
@Peterk are you looking for a video?
@Bifo5401 Yes I have the records for the maintenance. Is there anything you are particularly looking for?

Can show show exhaust on cold start until engine warms up?
Do you have a list of maintenance done in the last few years?
A very special year. I'd say this is the best diesel Benz ever made (that has modern amenities).
@Peterk 26 city / 32 highway
Sorry, I meant to ask the mileage MPG
@Peterk the car has not been smoked in. It also recently was treated to clean all air / interior contaminants professionally. I’m not sure I understand the mileage question. The car has been in our family entirely. Mileage is normal family driving use.
Has it been a smoke free car and has there been leaks as to cause a musty smell ? What mileage is achieved into its historic status ?

This diesel engine has mechanical injection. The wiring harness doesn't affect engine operation.

Has the harness been replaced?
Lots of optional equipment on this one! ASD locking diff (pretty rare), heated seats, leather, driver memory seat & telescopic wheel, headlight washers. Very nice total package here. Datacard at link below. https://www.lastvin.com/vin/1NZMgEKBvVKdarnlo Note that ASD is *not* traction control. It does lock the differential when wheelspin is detected (up to 19mph), but it will let you apply power and spin out if you don't lift your right foot off the go pedal. Traction control (ETS, ASR, ESP) will cut power, ASD does not. This is will very helpful on slippery surfaces, as the warning light in the speedo will flash when wheelspin is detected, even if the driver doesn't notice it. I had a similar diesel with ASD and loved it. Details in the factory literature here: https://www.w124performance.com/docs/mb/other/ASD-ASR-4MATIC.pdf
