NR 1990 Mercedes 350SDL No Rust Turbo Diesel Rare New Trannsmission W126 SD LWB
1990 Mercedes-Benz S-Class W126 body LWB Description
Rare limited production 1990 Mercedes 350SDL Southern Turbo Diesel with a Completely Rebuilt Transmission 25 miles ago! I purchased this Turbo Diesel from a Mercedes Mechanic in Georgia a couple of years ago. I sold it to a pal that is in the Mercedes Benz Club. This one runs and drives so good that it gets over 30 miles per gallon!! It is comparable to a 420SEL in power in my opinion. I had a nice 560SL and my pal decided to trade back in the 350SDL. I felt the transmission was not shifting properly so I had AAMCO check it. They suggested to rebuild it. They did a complete rebuild with new torque converter. They also after that had to do the valve body to make it perfect. There is an 18 month transferable warranty on this rebuild!! The car runs and drives so nice that it deserved it. The motor starts up all of the time and purrs as it should. All of the vacuum lines and wires under the hood are properly routed. I have been working on Mercedes for over 25 years so I am familiar with these. The glow plugs, and filters are recent. Since the car was southern, the air conditioining system is great. It pumps out nice cold air conditioning from the proper vents and nice hot heat when needed. The brakes feel great and are 4 wheel disk brakes. The suspension is very nice. The tires are all like brand new with stagered 17 inch AMG wheels. The entire car was repainted and there is no evidence of damage. This color is known for checking or crazing in the sun so repaint is common. The front fender on the drivers side has a speck of rust from a few chips that were not touched up in time. Otherwise the car is solid as a rock!! No bumper rust or rot on the bottom at all! The exhaust system is solid as a rock with no leaks. The leather is in really nice shape with the exception of the boulster where the belt scrapes the seat. The carpets are decent. The dash is pretty clean. The wood has some southern heat cracking common after the years. The battery is proper size and still strong. Wipers, horn, lights, radio, cruise control, all windows, locks all work. Sunroof needs a motor and is not working. My pal did find one and it will be in the trunk if you would like to fix it. The body is straight and solid with no cover up of rust or damage. New headlight trims make the car look fresh and new. This is one of the good ones! As a Mercedes Club member I knew that this car was worth investing the money into the transmission on such a fine example. I have a clean New York State title in hand ready to transfer. This car has never been exposed to salt and will stay off the roads until the winner picks it up or has it shipped. I am Mike and I do every step of this. I find, buy, fix, film, advertise, do the paperwork, and deliver every car.
