VIN: WDBCB25DXHA358547, Mileage: 116,195 showing. Please note that the odometer's plastic gears are in need of replacement. Runs and drives as expected. An auxillary cord has been added in the center compartment. 4 sets of keys present. Note: Mercedes-Benz has been offering diesel engines as an option on its cars since it introduced the world’s first production diesel passenger car, in 1936. In late 1978, in the Daimler-Benz assembly plant in Sindelfingen, West Germany, separate production facilities were set up for the new S-Class as fuel shortages of the era had caused Mercedes to rethink its big cars, so the new chassis weighed less and carried a more aerodynamic body. This particular engine has 148 hp at 4600 rpm and 201 lb-ft of torque at 2400 rpm with a 121.1-inch wheelbase, which gave the 208.2-inch-long sedan a executive feel.
