Legendarily rugged W123 in its most durable 300 Diesel guise
Factory-standard interior and exterior with no modifications, per the vendor
Always stored indoors and lightly used as a weekend car
In current ownership for over four years
Reported by the seller to be in highly solid condition
The Appeal
If you're looking for a car that could theoretically run forever, there's a good chance the Mercedes-Benz W123 is your best bet. They have been known to cover in excess of four million miles, so it's safe to say our lightly used and well-maintained example has a good many years yet to give!
Our 300D was acquired by the vendor in May 2022 and has since been used sparingly as a weekend car, always stored indoors. The vendor describes it as presenting very, very well, with 72,940 miles recorded, which the vendor believes to be accurate. The bodywork is said to be largely clean, with only a small dent to the rear bumper and three minor stone-chip dents to the driver's door noted. This W123 presents an appealing opportunity for those seeking an honest, original example of a much-loved model.TPI_4124 Albert Crowley.jpg723.78 KB
