Mercedes-Benz models from this era are renowned for their exceptional build quality and engines that can run for decades. However, what sets this particular example apart is that it has only covered about 29,000 km, making it one of the lowest-mileage vehicles of its kind in the U.S. The car, which is being auctioned on Bring a Trailer, was sold as new in Massachusetts and comes with a clean Carfax report despite its age. Painted in Smoke Silver metallic, the Mercedes features original 14-inch alloy wheels and black and chrome bumpers, representing the perfect antidote to modern commuter cars. The listing notes that the car was recently serviced and refurbished at Woods & Barclay in Georgia, a company specializing in Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Given the low mileage, the 3.0-liter naturally aspirated turbo-diesel inline five-cylinder engine should be in excellent condition if well-maintained. With 123 horsepower and 249 Nm of torque, the engine isn't particularly lively but definitely has character. It is paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. As for the interior, the seats are upholstered in black, as are the door panels and dashboard. Wood trim is present throughout the cabin, while the original Becker Grand Prix stereo is also in place. The car is equipped with automatic climate control. Although this example appears to be in fantastic condition, it will need a new set of tires before the next owner takes it for a drive, as it still wears its original tires dating back to 1985. A spare set of wheels is included in the sale, also fitted with Continental tires from the same year. At a time when even luxury cars seem like disposable vehicles, this old diesel boldly soldiers on. It's slow, somewhat stubborn, and built to outlast its owner. At the time of writing, the highest bid was $34,817.
