I had an 85' 300TD with exactly the same millage. The car was totaled in an accident last month. The insurance company gave me $7,300 as a settlement (and insurance companies do not like to overpay.)So, if an 85' 300TD with this millage is worth over $7,000 then an 80' 300TD should be worth at least $2,000 - $2,500 (well maintained, clean, in good condition, not rusted through, of course.)
Why is this guy selling his car so cheap? I'd spend another $50 and show the car to a good mechanic. These are GREAT cars, mine was the best car I ever had. Maybe you have a steal here... but if the seller doesn't want you to show the car to YOUR mechanic, you do not want this car.
you will have no problems . great car

Valve adjustment is easy, but requires the correct wrenches. These come up regularly on E-Bay, or any of the on-line Mercedes dealers sell them.Watch out for the rear suspension. If it's pneumatic, make sure it's working. Nothing's impossible, but it can be a complicated repair. Many cars have been converted to conventional suspensions, which is fine and easier to service.

Nothing special to watch for with the 123 chassis cars, these are remarkably rugged vehicles. As with any car, rust is a demon. Vacuum leaks can be difficult to track down. I would bet that the battery drain is a bad alternator, but this is simple to take care of.

As for veggie oil, you can mix a little veggie oil in with a full tank of Diesel and it will run fine. But if you're planning to run straight veggie oil, you'll need a separate tank, a fuel heater, and a switchover valve. A wagon is probably not the best choice for this, since there's no obvious place to put the separate veggie oil tank. Be aware that straight veggie oil will tend to clog your injectors, and will cloud up in cold weather.
These vehicles have a great reputation. It is probably better to run biodiesel rather than straight vegetable oil though. Much less car conversion needed and no worries in cold weather.
Where is the blower motor resistor-on a 2001 Toyota Corolla(2001 Prsm)?
You can track a electrical drain by pulling one fuse at a time while watching an ammeter connected between battery and the ground or negative cable. (Positive terminal of the meter on the negative battery post). You might be surprised how quickly a "slow drain" can flatten a car battery. Once it has done it a few times the battery is cactus. The drain might be in the central locking vacuum pump or automatic radio antenna. MB fuses of this era can look OK but actually be blown or non-conducting. Buy a new set and replace the lot.
Where can i find a front fender (driver's side) for a 1963 ford falcon 4 door sedan?
There is a fair chance the ignition switch is worn out unless it has been replaced. Replace the switch, the lock itself will be OK. This usually shows up with an apparently intermittent ventilation fan that come on if you edge the key slightly anti-clockwise while the engine is running and the fan starts. This was common on late 70s - early 80s MBs.
If the radiator is the original "Behr" you can have a problem with the top connection breaking off. Replacement "Behr" radiators have a metal re-inforcement. Check the fan clutch.

Electric window may not function, this is usually the switch being full of dust. Pull the switch out, hold upside down over a soft cloth to catch small spring-propelled parts, spread the sides until the rocker is free. Clean contacts and reinstall.

Best thing you can do for these old diesels is immediately change the two fuel filters and the oil (takes 7 or 8 quarts!). Buy your filters FROM THE DEALER or from a Mercedes website that specializes in Mercedes filters.

Bump in my transmission when i stop.?
problem areas are heating/ac controls (Mercedes AC from this era is a bad joke anyway), the window regulators breaking and vacuum leaks that affect door locks, transmission shifting and whether or not the engine shuts off.
These are pretty reliable cars but dog-slow. They do NOT like high rpm driving.75 mph should be your limit. Go faster and you're asking for trouble.
But by all means change fuel filters religiously and use an additive...and adjust those valves every 15,000 miles!
