This 1983 Mercedes-Benz 240D has remained well-preserved in completely original condition. The car was reportedly single-family owned from 1983-2023. The car was subsequently owned by two additional Mercedes enthusiasts since who completed a full service on the car. Finished in Light Ivory (623) over a Palomino MB-Tex (154) interior, power comes from a 2.4L four-cylinder diesel paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. Standard features include power steering, air conditioning, heated rear glass, fog lamps, cruise control, and an automatic antenna. Recent service includes an oil and filter change with more extensive servicing in 2023 and 2024. This 1983 240D shows 140k miles and is offered with factory literature, the original tool roll, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Virginia title.

The car is finished in Light Ivory (623) and features chrome-accented North American-spec bumpers and trim, factory yellow fog lamps, a power-operated sunroof, a power antenna, and an electrically adjustable passenger-side mirror.
