Cosmetic and minor notes: • Custom paint with expected patina • Interior in good condition for age (MB-Tex upholstery wears well) • Some age-related wear consistent with a 40-year-old vehicle; mechanically sound overall This is a straightforward, economical classic Mercedes diesel with strong aftermarket support for parts (OEM references available upon request, e.g., fuel filters, glow plugs).
