1982 Mercedes-Benz 240D – Rare Stick Shift, Rust-Free California Classic,
We’re a family-run business proudly selling RVs and specialty vehicles nationwide since 2010, with 100% positive eBay feedback and thousands of satisfied customers. Every vehicle we sell goes through a 50-point rigorous inspection to ensure quality, reliability, and safety before delivery. Over 90% of our buyers purchase confidently sight-unseen because we make the process simple and secure — every sale includes FREE nationwide shipping, a 30-day limited warranty, and a Bill of Lading for out-of-state buyers to help avoid the approximate 10% California pickup tax. We’ve been shipping RVs across the U.S. for 14+ years without a single major issue, earning a reputation built on trust, transparency, and hassle-free coast-to-coast deliveries. Because we operate from a private warehouse (not an open car lot), local pickups are by appointment only and require a small refundable deposit to confirm. This policy allows us to give each buyer our full attention, ensure vehicles are ready for viewing, and keep the process efficient, professional, and stress-free

This one-owner 1982 Mercedes-Benz 240D stick shift is a true W123 classic and a collector’s dream.

Driven less than 4,000 miles per year, it remains remarkably well-maintained and shows beautifully.

The W123 chassis is legendary worldwide for its bulletproof reliability, overbuilt engineering, and timeless Mercedes-Benz design. This rare stick-shift example provides the full driving experience, allowing you to engage the 4-speed manual gearbox and the iconic 2.4L diesel engine, known for its longevity—many surpassing half a million miles. Unlike modern diesels packed with sensors, ECUs, emissions systems, and turbochargers, the older German diesels are mechanically simple, built to last, and remarkably forgiving.

People love the 240D for its durability, mechanical integrity, and classic style. Its overbuilt components—thick cylinder walls, forged internals, heavy-duty bearings, and mechanical fuel injection—make it exceptionally reliable and easy to maintain. It was designed to endure harsh global conditions and decades of use, making it a standout among vintage cars.

This 1982 Mercedes 240D is not just a car—it’s a statement of engineering excellence and aut
