Beautiful 1983 Mercedes 300SD. Fantastic Condition!

UPDATE: Oil change, air filter, gas tank screen and all fuel filters changed on Friday June 19.
This is a beautiful 1983 Mercedes 300SD. Blue with silver trim, near-perfect tan leather interior. 287,000 miles and running perfect! This is a weekend driver that gets a ton of compliments. Looks great, sounds great, and a ton of fun to drive.
Exterior is in excellent shape, with a few surface scratches for the age (you really have to look for them). There are a couple of small door dings on the passenger side. NO RUST. Very light fading on the roof. All chrome is perfect and in place. Membrano Wood trim is fantastic in all places, with a small scratch above the glove box and below the instrument display. There is also a vertical crack on the wood door trim (see photo).
Automatic windows and sunroof all work great. Power seats move in all directions. Power passenger side mirror functions perfectly. All lights work perfectly, with 2 new headlights installed. New motor and transmission mounts, new belts and tune up approx 3,000 miles ago. Strong, firm transmission and shifting. Automatic climate control works great, with air conditioning blowing ice cold air (service and charge approx 6 months ago). Original chrome wheels are in 'very good' condition, with some light flaking on a rear rim. Tires are like-new and in great shape. All glass is perfect except one small (but stable/non-growing) chip in windshield, middle.
Interior carpet is pristine, no tears or stains. Leather seats are beautiful, no cracks but some light wear on drivers seat back corner. Rear deck is clean with storage lids in place. Black dash has small crack coming from speaker area (but it's not open). Driver door panel has (poorly filled) crack on top, about 3/4". Other door panels have single light crack. All things being equal, this car is AWESOME! Again, it RUNS PERFECTLY!
MAJOR upgrade to the sounds system that includes:
Alpine CD/HD/USB/Bluetooth deck (bluetooth phone microphone mounted above rear view mirror)all new speakers; FOCAL 4" 2-waysAlpine 45wX4 head unit power pack module250 watt Alpine amplifier10" Alpine subwoofer (in the trunk)all work (and tint) done at AudioToyz in Mission Viejo. All documentation/receipts and manuals included
Side and rear windows professionally tinted with Johnson window films 20% tint (warranty card included).
What needs work:
Cruise control does not workPower antennae motor just died, sadlyTachometer is intermittent. It rarely works upon start-up, but will suddenly just 'jump to life'. Fun to watch!The power door locks are vacuum based and intermittent. They work when it's hot, telling me there is a leak in the hose coming off the pump (trunk mounted). When it IS hot, ALL the doors will lock/unlock normally, so there is no leak in any of the door hosing.
