1980 Mercedes Benz 300 Sd Turbo Diesel on 2040-cars

This Mercedes Benz 300 SD Turbo Diesel starts up quick reliable transportation still keeps purring after 34 years


The vehicle has an engine from a 1984 300 D with 160,000 miles. Dashboard has a few small cracks from sun that's why I have a dashboard cover but normal for a 34 year old car in Texas. Tire wear is about 70% will need new tires soon. Paint is a one year old the original color was chocolate brown new color is a Mercedes tuxedo black. Front seats are original and a brand new back seat 1 year old took it to a company that reupholsters euro cars. Transmission shifts excellent no leaks.

Does leak oil about 4 drops very minimal nothing major normal for a 34 year old diesel car. Does have a small vacuum leak for doors but all doors lock with no problem if done manually. Trunk locks as well original color was a chocolate brown. Doesn't have working AC compressor it went bad and don't have time. Heater works excellent as you can see on video missing moulding on driver side near fender well or left driver side wheel someone stole it while I was grocery shopping and when I came back moulding was gone luckily I had the car locked unfortunately never caught the thief. 

Upgraded Euro headlights still have original working round head lights in trunk. This car still has plenty of more life in it has gotten me from point A to B without a problem just regular oil changes, hand car wash don't trust a car wash machine with those giant rollers and given it TLC the way a Classic Mercedes Deserves to be treated.

All windows work I just don't roll them completely down as with my W126 first car I rolled window completely down when ordering food at a drive through the plastic shoes for window regulators become weak with slamming doors as little kids do and don't know how to properly close these heavy doors which is a NO NO for any German Car well that broke and learned to never do that again and was kind of expensive to repair. 

No rust under car. Not in a hurry to sell this car I really love it has been very good to me.  I m selling way below what's its worth if you go to NADA.com the condition of the car is above average condition and valued at over $10,000 and low value at over $6,350 but I m selling it at a fair reasonable offer considering our nations economy. 

Not many of these cars around anymore and certainly not with a healthy running and purring 1984 W123 Chassis 300D engine which was in high demand & production since the 1980s and sold thousands because of  high consumer satisfaction reviews and well known for its engine reliablity for the Diesel W123's models as well as the solid W116 300 SD and only Diesel model in that chassis. 

I m selling this car from my Mercedes and BMW collection and don't need that many its just I love Mercedes and BMW's and Audi's they're excellent well built and engineered solid cars and when I see a good offer, clean car, strong engine I right away take advantage of that opportunity.

 

Yes I m the owner selling this car have clean title in hand. No Accidents Clear clean title private listing. Not an annoying car salesman here So no car dealer fees or any of those other crazy fees they charge.

Cadillac ATS-V and Mercedes-AMG C63 S pitted Head to Head

Fri, Sep 4 2015

Our favorite (and only) Autoblog-alum-turned-Motor Trend staffer is back with another Head to Head video, this time pitting the Cadillac ATS-V with the Mercedes-AMG C63 S. This performance machine shootout is ostensibly a way to figure out which of these new super sedans will earn the right to go toe-to-toe with the undisputed champion of its segment, the BMW M3. In reality, it's just a really good excuse to put three of the hottest sedans on the market on video at the same time... and there's certainly nothing wrong with that. Jonny Lieberman spends time in each of the two new challengers on the road, picking apart their powertrains, chassis and driving dynamics on the kinds of twisty roads drivers of these cars will relish. Then, he hands the keys off to Randy Pobst, who sort of acts as an unmasked version of a certain tame racing driver, except that he talks and has a personality. 0-60 and quarter-mile times are equated, braking performance is measured and scores are tallied before the two sport sedans end up at Willow Springs raceway. Interestingly enough, the car that proves (just slightly) faster at the race track isn't the car that wins the comparison. Curious? We're not going to spoil it for you. Check out the video, above. Then, for more action of these two machines, check out the videos just below.

2015 Belgian Grand Prix is a return to scheduled programming

Mon, Aug 24 2015

With summer intermission over, the second half of the Formula One season commenced in the Belgian countryside at Spa-Francorchamps. After qualifying, it looked a lot like the first half of the season with just a few minor changes. Lewis Hamilton was even more dominant in his Mercedes-AMG Petronas than usual, regularly taking half a second out of his teammate in just the middle sector of the circuit. Teammate Nico Rosberg tightened it up a tad for his final hot lap, but Hamilton still took pole by 0.45 seconds ahead of Rosberg in second. With his Williams back at a power track, Valtteri Bottas got himself up to third, although more than a second behind Hamilton. Romain Grosjean in the Lotus in fourth had his best qualifying performance since his fourth-place grid spot at the 2013 US Grand Prix. This was a huge boon for Lotus, the team facing another financial issue off track that threatened to have its cars impounded as soon as they left the circuit. Grosjean had to have his gearbox changed before the conclusion of six races, however, so the five-spot penalty meant he'd actually line up ninth for the race. Sergio Perez put the Sahara Force India in fifth, where we're more used to seeing his teammate Nico Hulkenberg, just ahead of Daniel Ricciardo in the Infiniti Red Bull Racing in sixth. Felipe Massa got the second Williams in seventh, in front of the second Lotus of Pastor Maldonado in eighth. Then came the first and only Ferrari in the top ten, Sebastian Vettel qualifying ninth after a disappointing Saturday for the scuderia; teammate Kimi Raikkonen suffered gearbox issues and qualified way down in 16th. Carlos Sainz took tenth in the Toro Rosso. A new start procedure in Belgium meant drivers had to handle clutches on their own, without the engineers finely tuning bite points between the garage and the start line. That was in conjunction with another rule limiting the kinds of radio messages possible between engineers and drivers, aiming to put more of the car in the drivers' hands. After an aborted start when Hulkenberg's car quit while sitting on the grid, Hamilton made the most of the new procedure. His start wasn't amazing but he beat everyone else off the line, while those behind were alternately getting bogged down or leaping ahead. Midway through the first lap the top ten was Hamilton, Perez, Ricciardo, Bottas, Rosberg, Vettel, Maldonado, Grosjean, Massa, Marcus Ericsson. At the end of 43 laps, Hamilton would still be in the lead.

Car dealers, factories and ports close in the path of Hurricane Florence

Thu, Sep 13 2018

Hurricane Florence has caused CarMax to close four stores in North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia. The closed locations are in Myrtle Beach, Charleston, Winterville and Virginia Beach. It is possible for the company to close more stores, reports Automotive News. Daimler and Volvo have also shuttered their manufacturing facilities in the region to prepare for Florence. The storm is expected to reach North Carolina and South Carolina today or tomorrow. Automotive News says every coastal car dealer it reached on Tuesday was closing, and others not in the projected landfall area were monitoring the situation. There are approximately nine million vehicles in operation in the area that Florence is expected to hit, with a vehicle density of 162 vehicles per square mile. It is likely that not as many vehicles will be lost as during hurricanes Harvey and Irma, as population is less dense; areas affected by those storms had over 300 vehicles per square mile. The chief economist of Cox Automotive told Automotive News that some 20,000 to 40,000 vehicles could end up flooded if Florence keeps its path; however, recent reports have indicated Florence has weakened to a category 2 hurricane on Thursday. Tesla has again unlocked more range for some of its older models to make evacuation easier; the same was done a year ago in preparation for Hurricane Irma. As well as automotive manufacturers and dealers, automotive transport providers are readying for the storm and clearing cargo away. The container and auto terminals at Port Charleston will be closed from Thursday to Saturday, affecting part shipments to the BMW manufacturing facility in Spartanburg; BMW's spokespersons have said no production disruption is expected. Parts are delivered via railroad to Spartanburg by Norfolk Southern, which is also suspending operations for the time being. Vehicle hauler United Road has moved its rigs to safer regions and suspended deliveries, and car carrier vessels are trying to make it away from the storm's path in time.
