This 1985 Mercedes-Benz 300TDT wagon was special-ordered in Manganese Brown (480) over a Palomino Velour (954) interior and powered by a 3.0-liter turbodiesel inline-five paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. Features include a painted mechanical sliding sunroof, automatic climate control, an original Becker Grand Prix head unit, power windows, locks, antenna, and an optional rear cargo cover. The car was ordered new by a Mercedes-Benz engineer who owned the car through 2016 at which point his daughter kept the car maintained. Records accompany the car showing regular service and maintenance from 1985 through 2020. The most recent services in 2023 include a valve adjustment, new filters, belts, and hoses, a suspension refresh, complete fluid flush, and new brakes and tires. This S123 shows 441k original miles and is offered in New jersey with the original window sticker, factory literature, complete records, two keys, an included Carfax report, and a clean New Jersey title.

The car is finished in Manganese Brown Metallic (480) and features chrome-accented domestic-spec bumpers and trim, glass headlamps, a painted mechanical sliding sunroof, and an electrically adjustable radio antenna. The trim, bumpers, and door handles are reportedly original to the car along with brightwork shown in the photos. The included Carfax notes damage to the rear of the car in 2001 and the seller reports the rear hatch was painted as a result. The car is reportedly rust free and detailed photos of the exterior are viewable in the gallery.
