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 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.

    Omg. So slow 0 to 60 that it should be illegal for highway driving. Solid nice car but did I mention slow??
  • Lorenzo If it's over 30 years old and over 80k miles, and not a classic, it's a parts car, worth no more than 20% of original price.
  • Dusterdude No mileage noted on a 33 year old car means likely well north of 300k + miles , along with issues noted , should equate to an ask price of less than $3k
  • Ajla IMO, something like this really should be naturally-aspirated.
  • Kjhkjlhkjhkljh kljhjkhjklhkjh Unless they are solid state batteries you BAN THEM. I like EVs... but EVs like to burn ... for days
