It's German. It's diesel. If it were human, it would be an older Millennial. Here we have a 1982 Mercedes-Benz 240D.

This one is in good running order and the body is in good condition, according to the seller.

It has about 109K miles on it.

Our seller doesn't say much else, other than that the car has been in their possession since 2015 and they've put only about 6,000 miles on it. The seller has maintenance records to provide.

The original first-aid kit and owner's manual are still with the car.

This California-based car can been seen here. The asking price is $8,995.

Tim Healey

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

Actually the Merc would be the first "millennial", since in the US most MY82 citizens graduated high school in the year 2000.

Carfan94 According to Wikipedia the Highlander went into production in November 2000. Inaccuracy much?
MaintenanceCosts I have a 2016 with the late and very much missed V6 hybrid powertrain. It’s as interesting to drive as a toaster, but I can’t deny that it just does everything we want it to do without ever complaining, despite relentless neglect (at least cosmetic neglect; it’s well maintained mechanically). It’s perfectly happy taking the kids to school or carrying all of us and our luggage over 10,000-foot passes at 85 mph. Very fit for purpose.

28-Cars-Later M'eh. The Toyota Harrier is really what got the fail going in 1998, this was merely the Toyota equivalent using it's US platform and operations. This and the Harrier by themselves I don't think are bad per se, but variety is the spice of life and we lost that a while back in car choices *because* of this and the Harrier.
