QR Code Link to This Post
This car has just over 200,000 miles (barely broken in for these engines), and I’ve recently invested in keeping it turn-key reliable:
Brand new battery (installed August 2025)
Brand new alternator (installed August 2025)
Starts immediately, idles smooth, and pulls strong
Shifts well and cruises effortlessly on the freeway
Highlights:
3.0L OM617 turbo diesel – legendary reliability & fuel economy
Automatic transmission
Power windows, power locks
Straight body, no major rust
Clean title in hand
California car – no salted roads
Why This Car:
These W126 diesel sedans are increasingly hard to find in honest, well-maintained condition. This one is ready to drive home today and will only appreciate in value if cared for. Perfect for the collector, daily driver, or someone who wants a car that can run on regular diesel or even bio-diesel with minor mods.
Asking Price: $7,500 – priced fair for LA’s classic market. Serious buyers only. No trades, no low-ball offers.
