About this car
This 1985 300SD is offered on eBay by wdaum in Erie, PA. It is listed at auction: the current bid stood at $4,000 when the listing was collected on November 3, 2026, with bidding scheduled to end on November 5, 2026. The car is finished in Multicolor over Tan, an automatic gearbox, power from a 3.0L Diesel I5 engine. The odometer shows 178,779 miles. The eBay title does not name the model; the car's VIN identifies it as a 300SD. On a W126, check for rust around the rear window and in the battery tray, and test the vacuum-operated door locks and the climate controls.
What the photos show
- The champagne paint has a flat, satin look rather than a factory gloss, so ask about a repaint before paying for original paint
- Panels look straight with no dents showing, no body money needed
- The Bundt wheels are filthy and blackened, cleaning money only, though the dirt hides their true state
- Brown leather seats front and rear look very good with no tears, no retrim money needed
- The dash and cluster are thick with dust, and the odometer shows 178,779 miles, so detailing money, and the miles cap the value
- The engine bay looks complete with the turbo in place, just grimy, so service money rather than parts money
- The trunk holds a proper spare on a clean alloy wheel, no money needed there
- The last gallery image is a history-report screenshot estimating about 500,000 miles, which clashes with the 178,779 on the dash — settle the true mileage before paying
- No underside photo appears in the sampled photos, so I can't judge the underside
Money: at $4,000 the tidy interior argues fair value, but the flat paint and the 500,000-mile report estimate mean you should pay as if the mileage story is unresolved.
