Used 1984 Mercedes 300TD Wagon 193k mi - cars & trucks - by owner -... for sale in Brooklyn, NY

Don't really want to do this, but having to seriously consider it at this point. Love this car, but my gf not so much, and as much as I'd miss it, I think it would be great if it found a home outside of the city or in a garage. I feel like I don't really have to sell the car itself. If you're looking at it, you probably know what you want already. So into the details...

I bought this car on Ebay in 2011. Ironically it was shipped out to Santa Barbara from upstate NY. For better or worse, I bought it sight unseen. For being a 1984 I was pretty pleased until a mechanic told me there was a knock in the engine. I never really investigated it and it has never seemed to get worse, nor caused problems. That was 25k miles ago or so, but being honest here. It was my daily driver for about 2 years, and gave me literally no issues, until I decided to move cross country to NY but couldn't part with it. I brought it to my grandpas house in MD and parked it in the garage, where it sat for the last 8 or so years. There was always going to be a time when I had to get it out of there, and with the flexibility that Covid afforded, I had it brought back to life. I have the full records of this, need to find them, but essentially; all rubber hoses, belts, etc replaced, change oil, new battery, fuel tank flushed, tires and brakes all replaced, any lights fuses etc. AC recharge and new blower motor. This was all in mid June. I have driven it once or twice a week since, mostly trips outside the city but have been back to MD, up to Albany a few times, and another time down to VA Beach. No issues on those long drives either.

She's not a show car ...yet, but definitely not a parts car either. The most notable thing is probably that there is pretty much no rust. There is one bubble on the paint (pictured), and there are a couple small spots underneath the front bumper. I have a bunch of photos of the undercarriage from when it was up on a lift this summer. Interior is in pretty good shape. Dash has minimal cracking and I got one of those carpet covers when I first got the car.
Manual sunroof. No Becker (gone when I bought it). No third row seats. No rear headrests.

I am probably forgetting stuff so please feel free to reach out with questions, or if you want to set up a time to come and see it.

Serious inquiries only and don't lowball it. I am not in a hurry to sell, and I would be much happier seeing this car go to someone who really appreciates it.
