1984 Mercedes-Benz 240TD


Specifications


Description

 

For many, the Mercedes-Benz W123 series is the ultimate classic Mercedes – and with good reason.

It is really one of the simplest classics you can buy, and if you take your time and buy well, you will be rewarded with many years of enjoyable fault free motoring.

A truly traditional Mercedes and the end of an era, with the quality of its successors suffering – there is very little that breaks on a well kept W123.

ABOUT THIS CAR

  • A very rare example of what is widely considered the Best Station Wagon ever built. Seriously, this is one of the best diesel cars out there.
  • Comes with fully operational sunroof.
  • Very comfortable and economical to drive.
  • Very reliable car - these were cars built with longevity in mind - bulletproof motor that could probably do a million miles if serviced regularly and maintained properly.
  • Nice straight body and good paint - lovely colour scheme.
  • Manual Transmission - All Mercedes-Benz W123 manual gearboxes are built to last.
  • Power assisted Steering and Servo-assisted disc brakes.
  • The interior is spacious and comfy and upholstery / hood lining etc all in good original condition - being trimmed the old fashioned way rather than with material glued to a substrate.
  • Excellent build quality. Iron block + iron head = zero gasket issues and guaranteed reliability. One of the very short list of vehicles that can withstand brutal roads and not fall apart.
  • Parts are readily available, as over 2 million of these were produced. These were made to be taken apart, fixed, and put back together. No plastic clips holding door panels on either. The doors sound like a bank vault when shut.
  • Owner import from UK - first registered in New Zealand in 1987.
  • Definitely a car with soul.
  • Rare & Desirable.

There's something special about driving an old car. Sure they may not have the safety of a new car, they may not perform as well, but they have something few new cars have, character.

If its important to make a high quality purchase; a classic car, that was well engineered and well built in its time, then this Mercedes-Benz W123 station wagon ticks just about every box for an everyday classic driver. It was a great car when new and they are incredibly rare to  come by nowadays.

Car will be sold WOF'd and Registered if sold in New Zealand.

TRANSPORT / WORLDWIDE SHIPPING CAN BE ORGANISED ON THIS VEHICLE ON BUYER'S BEHALF AT BUYERS COST.

NOTIFICATION AS TO NATURE OF GOODS IN TERMS OF THE CONSUMER GUARANTEES ACT 1993

Waimak Classic Cars Ltd is a New Zealand registered company and accepts that the vehicle being sold must be of “acceptable quality” in terms of section 7 of the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 (the Act) having regard to “the nature of the goods”.

Waimak Classic Cars is not aware of any specific defects with the vehicle, however (a) such a vehicle being a classic vehicle may have mechanical breakdowns, electrical failures at inconvenient times and maintenance costs being part of and parcel of ownership of a classic vehicle; (b) reliability is a combination of the particular nature of the classic vehicle, how it is being driven, how it has been maintained, and to a certain extent luck; (c) because of the age of the vehicle, and its propensity to rust, it is likely that the vehicle would have been fully or partially restored, or at least repainted at some point in its life, maybe even more than once. Waimak Classic Cars does not know, and cannot give advice on how good any restoration work on the vehicle had been.

The Purchaser acknowledges that the vehicle is being sold as a classic car; that in terms of the Act and the nature of the goods, the vehicle is an old car, bike or boat, that may have visual and hidden faults, unlike a new motor vehicle.

The Purchaser is encouraged to personally fully inspect the vehicle and also to have the vehicle inspected, and fully assessed by an experienced, independent, specialist garage - before committing to purchase. While the Purchaser is entitled to rely on statements given by Waimak Classic Cars as being correct, where goods such as vehicles are concerned, with so many moving parts and rust being an issue with older vehicles; a Purchaser who chooses not to seek independent professional assistance when assessing the quality of what they propose to buy is considered as buying at their own risk, and if the vehicle then turns out to be of less than the represented quality, or not up to the Purchaser's expectation, or in the Purchaser opinion not fit for purpose; then the Purchaser is considered to have contributed to their own loss and should not expect any refunds or betterment from Waimak Classic Cars.

The Purchaser acknowledges that they have read and fully understand this notification and the nature of a car which is many years old.
