1985 Mercedes 300D with WVO conversion kit installed (Turbodiesel, 5-cylinder engine, automatic transmission), fair condition, runs well. Uses diesel or WVO (2-tank heated-fuel system). Various tools, parts, manuals, and WVO gear included, along with ca. 200 gallons of WVO.

Serious inquiries only. In-person negotiation only. Scams will not be countenanced.

Features:
1. Metallic gold paint
2. Mileage is probably just above 300,000 miles: the odometer is faulty, so exact mileage is uncertain.
3. Engine replaced (used) ca. 2012: runs well, doesn’t consume excessive oil or leak coolant.
4. Extras include metric hand-tools, replacement oil filter, factory manuals (engine, chassis/body, climate control), Various Mercedessource diagnostic & repair guides, extra AC/fuel hoses, misc. parts
5. WVO conversion kit (Frybrid brand) installed ca. 2012: 2-tank system with coolant-heated WVO tank & hoses. Extras include:
a. WVO installation/maintenance guide
b. ca. 200 gallons of WVO, unfiltered
c. 2 barrels, barrel-pumps, filter bags (5-micron, 1-micron)
d. WVO tank filler hose
e. WVO-specific tools: injector cleaning/testing, valve-adjustment wrenches
6. Aftermarket radio/CD player
7. Interior seats & dash in good shape—some discoloration in back seats
8. Automatic (vacuum) door/trunk locks
9. Sunroof (works)
10. Recently replaced starter & battery (2019)

Issues:
1. Front passenger side body is slightly bent around headlight assembly; running lights nevertheless work well
2. Engine runs slightly hot (85-90 C), despite coolant flush/descale and new radiator (ca. 2017)
3. Transmission functions well: however, on occasion it momentarily will not shift from neutral to reverse during the first few miles of driving. The problem is momentary, however, and shifting is fine once the car has warmed up a bit.
4. Missing under-hood cruise control unit
5. AC compressor needs replacement
6. Heating system works, but vent controls do not work: side dash vents and defrost vents are always open.
7. Door locks are controlled by engine vacuum. Currently it is disconnected under the hood, due to a rubber connector leak (probably in the front passenger-side door).
8. Diesel fuel-gauge doesn’t work.
9. WVO computer-control unit doesn’t switch to oil in cooler weather: system has a manual override switch installed.
10. Trunk interior & carpet is soiled (mostly with WVO)
11. Rear power window controls won’t open windows: motors function but gears do not engage
12. Front passenger door lock won’t open with key
13. Rear antenna works with radio but lift motor misbehaves when activated
14. Missing hood lining
