Before us is the 123rd in the 300TD version. This modification is considered one of the most reliable. Under the hood of the station wagon is a 3.0-liter OM617 turbodiesel producing 125 hp and 250 Nm, which works in tandem with a 4-speed automatic (specification for the American market).
As the current owner notes in the description, he has owned the car since 2006, and since then the Mercedes has driven 150,000 miles (almost 242,000 km). The station wagon has survived to this day in very good condition – since it was operated in a state with a dry and hot climate, the body has not suffered from rust. The same can be said about the vinyl interior of the Mercedes (the famous MB-Tex) – unlike the alternative leather, it has better resistance to mechanical stress and damage. The engine, chassis, and gearbox also raise no questions.
Among the drawbacks – perhaps only some of the equipment that has failed. So, in the station wagon, the air conditioner does not work (but the sunroof can come to the rescue), and the cruise control only occasionally shows signs of life.
The car is listed on the Bring A Trailer online auction, meaning anyone can bid for it. There are 3 days left until the end of the auction, and the current maximum bid is $6,000.
