[@billnasburg1361]

As you well know, that has to be the ultimate find yet. What a beautiful example of the best of the best. Best year and great color and combo interior color. Absolutely a stunning car in every way. Congratulations on another find

[@woodsandbarclay]

You're absolutely right this is the nicest 300D I have ever seen! I've been trying to get this car for 2 years and he finally decided to let her go!

What a great find….practically a new car! I had one in that color many years ago with ivory interior. May I ask what is it about the 1983 models that makes it your favorite? Just curious….

[@edavis513]

I'm curious too.

[@woodsandbarclay]

I like 83 models because the seats are little more comfortable and Mercedes started to introduce a lot of plastic and rubber in the 84 85 model whereas on the 83 model you have more metal and Chrome. 83 model also has a much simpler vacuum system then the later years. 83 is just the Sweet spot

[@Keeferlgb]

Thanks for replying. I was just curious. I have a 240D and a 300D, both '82 models. Love them!

[@woodsandbarclay]

@@Keeferlgb 82 thru 85 are all nice!

[@andrewray656]
