I am looking for help valuing my 1982 300CDT for sale. As the name implies, it's a turbo diesel coupe. It's in its original moss green paint and beige MB-Tex interior. 260,000 miles with no accidents! New radiator in 2003, new transmission in 2005; $6,000 worth of suspension work in 2006; new tires, brakes, AC work, and block heater installed in 2008. It was a Florida and California car for all but the last 3 years, when it came to Missouri. This car is terrific, but has an leak from an oil cooler hose that no one can seem to fix. Starting to get a little rust behind the rear wheel wells, and a few paint chips, plus one mysterious scratch on the left hand rear. Needs new seals all over. Original Kenwood radio/cassette. Thanks so much for your help! Pics follow.
