Standard features include power steering, air conditioning, heated rear glass, fog lamps, cruise control, and an automatic antenna. Optional features from new include a Becker Europa Cassette player and radio, floor mats, and rust proofing installed by the dealer and notated on the original bill of sale. This 1983 240D shows a documented 66k miles and is offered with factory literature, original window sticker and bill of sale, service records, owner's manual, first aid kit, and a clean Connecticut title. 

The car is finished in Orient Red (501) and features chrome-accented North American-spec bumpers and trim, glass headlamps, a power antenna, and an electrically adjustable passenger-side mirror. The trim, brightwork, and glass are reportedly original to the car and in great condition. No rust is reported on the chassis or body and it’s been stored in a climate controlled garage for decades. The seller reports the passenger side lower rear quarter and lower rear door were painted previously due to a scratch occurring during maintenance along with the hood and fenders from a mishap in the owners garage. 

The original Bundt 14″ steel wheels were replaced in 1996 with OEM alloy Bundt wheels. The alloys are wrapped in Michelin Harmony tires measuring 195/70 on all four corners. 

The cabin features seats upholstered in Palomino MB-Tex (154) with matching Palomino door panels, carpets, and floor mats. The dashboard and center console are trimmed in black along with the steering wheel and shift knob. Zebrano wood trim adorns the dashboard and center console with no cracks visible. Equipment includes climate control with factory air conditioning, cruise control, manual-wind windows, central door locks, and an original Becker Europa Cassette player. 

Original VDO instrumentation includes a 100-mph speedometer, an analog clock, and additional auxiliary gauges include coolant temperature, oil pressure, and fuel level which all function properly. The six-digit odometer shows 66k original miles.

The 2.4-liter OM616 diesel inline-four produced 67 horsepower and 97 lb-ft of torque when new and is paired to an automatic four-speed transmission. In preparation for the sale, a complete fluid flush was performed along with inspection and hood pad replacement.
