Over the past few years, we’ve seen a couple of these five-door W123s sell and prices have stayed rather steady. Higher mileage isn’t so much of a concern with these cars, but condition is key. This 300TD is rather attractive, then, as you’ll avoid the high cost of a low-mileage example but you get a perfectly usable vehicle in good shape that you won’t be afraid to use. Values for later model examples of the 300TD have been hovering in the $10,000 to $15,000 range, so this one is priced just about right, considering its level of presentation.
