1985 Mercedes-Benz 300CD

• grey paint looks glossy and straight in the full view, no repaint needed
• chrome grille and TURBODIESEL badges look bright and tail lights look clear, no lens or rechrome bill
• gold BBS wheels look clean and tires show good tread, no wheel or tire bill
• small rust spots show on the low front valance and sill edges, budget a rust check before calling it clean
• tan rear seat looks excellent with no tears or sag, no need to reupholster
• dash and wood around the glovebox look clean and glossy, no dash repair needed
• floor mats look worn and carpets look a bit dirty, budget a detail
• engine bay looks complete and tidy, but the hood underside and bay edges show surface rust, budget time to treat it
• underside and steering parts look rusty and grimy, budget an inspection and cleanup underneath
• radiator support shows rust around the bolts and label area, budget rust treatment there too
• front seats are only glimpsed at the edges in the sampled photos, I can't judge them, so budget for an inspection
• last sampled photos are paperwork and receipts only, they show no car condition, so they add no condition value

Money: at $25,750 sold, the glossy paint and excellent rear seat support the price, but the rust underneath and on the bay edges is the cost the shiny top hides.
