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.

Autoblog drives to the Arctic Circle

In Which Mercedes' Sprinter Becomes A Long-Distance Sherpa
In the wintery wilds of northern Alaska, even the cute little critters want to kill you.
As I am about to nod off on my long leg flight from Minneapolis to Anchorage ahead of driving to the Arctic Circle, the friendly twenty-something Alaskan knitting furiously in the seat next to me pauses and says, "When you're driving up there, don't open your windows." In the dead of winter? I hadn't planned on cruising alfresco, but her warning to keep the glazing snugged against the weatherstripping is one I would take to heart. She continues: "If you leave 'em open, a fox is liable to jump right in. There are lots of rabid foxes up there, and they leap into your car and just Go. To. Town." And here I was, thinking that a curious bear or maybe an ill-placed moose in the road was going to be my biggest potential four-legged threat. In the wintery wilds of northern Alaska, even the cute little critters want to kill you.

Weekly Recap: Autonomous driving goes commercial in Nevada

Sat, May 9 2015

Nevada granted Daimler Trucks North America the first license to run an autonomous commercial vehicle on public roads in the United States Tuesday, marking another milestone in the technology's rapid advancement. Gov. Brian Sandoval and Daimler truck chief Wolfgang Bernhard promptly used the license to lap Highway 15 near Las Vegas in a newly revealed Freightliner Inspiration Truck. It was a clear signal that autonomous driving is big-rig reality, though it's still a long way from widespread use. Nevada certified two of Daimler's Freightliner Inspiration Trucks, which use the company's Highway Pilot system with a stereo camera, radar, and lane-keeping collision-prevention features to regulate the brakes and steering. The radar component has a long-range sensor that can cover 820 feet at an 18-degree angle and a shorter-range unit that stretches 230 feet at a 130-degree angle. The Inspiration trucks are based on the existing Freightliner Cascadia Evolution model used on US roads. In addition to the autonomous technologies, it also has futuristic design cues, including blue lighting in the front and a new hood and grille. While there are only two Freightliner Inspiration trucks in existence, Daimler expects to bring the Highway Pilot system into mass-produced big rigs by 2025, in time to capitalize on the market's predicted growth. The German truckmaker predicts the global hauling market will triple by 2050, and the United States will be a key part of that growth. Trucks carry 69.1 percent the nation's domestic freight tonnage and hauled 9.7 billion tons of freight in 2013, according to the American Trucking Association. Daimler expects autonomous driving to augment this growth, and perhaps evolve the role of the truck driver. Still, the company points out autonomous tech is not meant to replace drivers, but to assist them and relieve fatigue and monotony on long hauls. The driver has to stay in control for passing, in city traffic, and when hooking up the trailer. The company said autonomous driving also offers the potential for improved fuel economy – tests showed a five-percent gain – and lower maintenance costs. Daimler also said the technology could reduce congestion on the road. Much of this is attributable to the constant flow of traffic, which is aided by autonomous driving. While the benefits are becoming increasingly apparent, autonomous technology is still met with skepticism.

Mercedes GLE Coupe spotted in almost undisguised AMG form

Wed, Dec 3 2014

Say what you will regarding the form and function of the BMW X6, the bottom line is that BMW essentially pioneered a winning formula, sloping a roofline onto an existing model to make a new and highly lucrative) derivative. No wonder rival Mercedes-Benz is clamoring to follow suit with models like the one pictured here. Under development for some time now, the model originally slated to be called the MLC and now expected to be dubbed GLE Coupe looks about ready for its big debut. It's based on the replacement for the current M-Class (to be rechristened GLE) but with that vital sloping roofline to make it more rakish. This particular example seems to be an AMG version and was spied with only minimal camouflage around the front and rear bumpers while undergoing testing in snowy climes. That could be the full-on GLE63 AMG performance variant, or the new AMG Sport model destined to debut at the Detroit Auto Show next month. If it's the former, expect it to be packing the same 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 as the new Mercedes-AMG GT, where it produces either 462 horsepower or 510 depending on spec - ready to take on the X6 M and whatever Audi is preparing to throw at it.
