1978 Mecedes Benz 300d. Beige. Runs Great! on 2040-cars
Winchester, Virginia, United States
|
I am selling both of my Mercedes. This is a 1978 300D. It runs great and I’ve done a ton of maintenance to it. Please read the entire description, I am going to list everything I can about the car.
I bought this car (I think I am the second owner) late last year. I am only selling it because I have to move and I have 6 cars. This Mercedes is an absolute tank, it runs incredible. Transmission is smooth, the engine runs effortlessly. I have driven this car everywhere, as one of my two daily drivers. It has never let me down. The odometer has stopped at slightly less than 125,000 miles. So, I have no clue of the mileage, it was broken when I purchased it. I have changed the glow plugs and I took out the old style
glow plugs, the oil has been changed regularly, all the gauges work, the clock
does not work. I took out the original stereo, but I have it. There is a little
amplifier in it that I just plug my ipod into. The climate control servo is
bad, so it only has heat via defrost at full blast. The Chrysler climate servo
need to be replaced. It has AC, but I pulled the belt off, the ac system is intact,
as original. The passenger side window likes to pop out of the track, that
needs to be fixed and the two back windows need the door switches to operate,
though both windows do work. Sunroof does not open. The cruise control works, but the cable needs to be replaced. There is rust (see pictures), but that is easy to fix. There is no rust other that the spots on the body that are in photos. The exhaust is in great shape. The tires are fine (will need replacing in a few thousand miles). It’s got all it’s original hubcaps. The interior is in more than fair shape for the age of this car. Well, it’s above average. I absolutely love this car, I hate to see it go. A DEPOSIT OF $500.00 is due immediately after auction. The balance is due within 3 day of end of auction. No exceptions. Please do not ask me to change my policy. The car MUST be picked up within 10 days, I am moving and that dictates the time frame. Email me with questions, I’ll answer as fast as I can.You may call me at 540-532-0250 if you wish. |

Nissan edges out Tesla for most ZEV credits sold in California
Wed, Oct 22 2014When it comes to California zero-emissions vehicle (ZEV) credits last year, Nissan was selling and Mercedes-Benz was buying. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) put out its ZEV-credits numbers for the year that ended September 30, which is why we now know that Nissan, maker of the battery-electric Leaf, transferred 663.6 ZEV credits out of its account last year. That just edged out the 650.195 credits that Tesla sold. Chrysler's Fiat affiliate was a distant third, but its limited-production Fiat 500E was still able to generate some ZEV credits and then transfer out 235.2 of them. We don't know how much the buyers paid for these credits, since those details are kept private. It's an ever-changing rulebook over at CARB, anyway. On the flip side, Mercedes-Benz had to buy 663.6 ZEV credits in order to comply with clean vehicle-sales mandates in the most populous US state, indicative of the German automaker's gas-guzzling tendencies. Honda has cars that get better fuel economy than your average Benz, but its plug-in vehicles represent just a fraction of total sales and so it had to shell out for 542.5 ZEV credits. Chrysler-Fiat basically tread water, since the 237.8 ZEV credits it required for compliance canceled out gains on the other side of the ledger. Those Dodge Ram pickup trucks don't exactly help matters. Last year, Tesla sold the most ZEV credits while GM purchased the most. Overall, Californians bought about 3.5 million vehicles for the year that ended September 30, including 38,000 battery-electric vehicles, 30,000 plug-in hybrids and 570,000 conventional hybrids. The longstanding ZEV program means that California now has more than 100,000 ZEVs on its roads. Read this for more details on ZEV credit transfers in California.

Maybach lost upwards of $500k on each vehicle sold
Wed, 08 Feb 2012Daimler is shuttering Maybach in 2013 after seven years of production. In that time, the company's ultra-ultra-luxury arm managed to sell just 3,000 units, and CAR reports Daimler lost somewhere around $500,000 on each and every one of them.
Even with a ludicrous price tag of over $370,000 for an "entry" Maybach 57, the brand couldn't quite recoup the dizzying $1.33 billion Daimler poured into it since its (re)inception. Rumors ignited over a possible tie up with Aston Martin that would have resulted in a range of new and attractive models, but Daimler has instead decided to snuff out Maybach altogether.
We can hardly blame them.
As US exports top 2 million, is America becoming the world's source of cheap cars?
Mon, Feb 9 2015North American auto production is booming with 2014 figures just shy of the of the 17.3-million vehicle record set in 2000. With more models being built on the continent, even more are being shipped overseas. Factories in the US exported 2.1 million cars last year – the highest number ever. About half of those went to Canada and Mexico, but more than ever have been heading to places like the Middle East and China. The upswing comes in part from from after-effects from the Great Recession, according to The Wall Street Journal. With a weak dollar and lower production costs after the financial crisis, building vehicles in the US was relatively cheaper and more competitive in the world. At the same time buyers around the world are going crazy for crossovers. According to the WSJ, BMW and Mercedes-Benz are already exporting the majority of their US production of these models overseas. Both automakers have also announced investments to expand production further here to send more vehicles abroad. Even Honda has been shipping more models out of the country than it imported here. There is a concern this international strength could start slowing because the dollar is strengthening against other currencies, though it's too early to know what the actual effect of this could be, according to the WSJ. "Of course, we closely watch currency exchange, but we don't make changes in production or allocation based on temporary fluctuations in the exchange rate," Ford North American boss Joe Hinrichs told the newspaper.
