Lee - the pictures show a lot of rust in places that indicate a lot of salt
exposure, or a lack of paint care, or both. With what they show on the
outside, the underside probably is more of a project car than most people
should try and fix, IMO.

the MPG meter on the instrument cluster - usually a gasoline
engine item, as I recall.
Wonder how much can be believed about this "very good" car???

Looks pretty clean for a 250K mile car, the usual wear, perhaps a bit more
rust than one would expect. It will go for cheap. Wonder if it has any
power.
Oh, and it started life as a diesel, according to carfax.
The story of this 1993 MERCEDES-BENZ 300SD (WDBGB34E5PA141147) according
to
our interpretation of the information reported to CARFAX:
This sedan has had at least 6 owners. The first title for this sedan was
reported to CARFAX by a Texas DMV in 1995.
It was involved in an accident in Wisconsin that was reported to the
police.
(minor accident according to carfax, probably the driver's door, which
doesn't match the rest of the car)
It has had no DMV-reported total loss events, like a major accident, fire
or flood.
It has not been reported by a DMV as having an Exceeds Mechanical Limits
or
Not Actual Mileage title.
CARFAX found an inconsistent odometer reading. CARFAX is uncertain whether
this reading represents a rollback or a source-level clerical error.
It was not reported by a DMV as a Manufacturer Buyback or LEMON.
It has no recalls that still require repair.
Go to the Detailed Vehicle History for the complete history and a glossary
of terms.
