It's German. It's diesel. If it were human, it would be an older Millennial. Here we have a 1982 Mercedes-Benz 240D.

This one is in good running order and the body is in good condition, according to the seller.

It has about 109K miles on it.

Our seller doesn't say much else, other than that the car has been in their possession since 2015 and they've put only about 6,000 miles on it. The seller has maintenance records to provide.

The original first-aid kit and owner's manual are still with the car.

This California-based car can been seen here. The asking price is $8,995.

Tim Healey

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

Actually the Merc would be the first "millennial", since in the US most MY82 citizens graduated high school in the year 2000.

Omg. So slow 0 to 60 that it should be illegal for highway driving. Solid nice car but did I mention slow??

Nrd515 As clueless as the car companies seem to be at this point in time, even they know people hate even the idea of subscription service. It's a total, "Nope, not even going to consider this car, you can bite me!" thing with me, and apparently a lot of other people.
Calrson Fan I owned a 93 compact Toytota. Bought new after looking at used as the resale value was so stupid high on Toy trucks at the time that new was the only way to go. V6, extended cab & 4WD were the only way to option these small trucks so they had some capability/utility. One optioned like this Mazda is pretty useless.
Picard234 I'm not sure I'm going to rush in to trade my Soul for this. Interior does look pretty nice.
VoGhost Hmmm, Stellantis is failing and Stellantis has essentially no EVs to sell. Coincidence? I think not.
Qwerty shrdlu While I've seen BMWs with what looks like disruptive camoflauge driving around Charleston SC, it seems less like a secret and more "Hey look at me!" Likewise, a lot of spy shots are made by photographers who somehow knew exactly when and where to set up to take the shot.
