The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"The AC does not blow... can be fixed, but is not operable at this time. Left rear window does not go up or down. There is an indentation in the front left fender. The sunroof opens and closes but needs manual assistance to do so. The paint on the roof is damaged/scratched, behind the sunroof. The vehicle has a minor oil leak which is more noticeable after it has been run for quite awhile... doesn't leak unless having just been run. A few cracks in the dashboard, but has a nice dash cover. Passenger side door cannot be unlocked with key, but driver's side lock and handle are new."

You are bidding on a 1980 Mercedes Benz 300 SD Turbo Diesel, w116 chassis. This is the longer, "saloon" style of the 300 diesel. Very roomy throughout, and very comfortable. Nearly all of the vehicle is original -- the radio still works, all upholstery is original (and in pretty good shape... only a few small tears in the seams of the driver's seat).

Let me describe what I wish was not imperfect with this vehicle:

-- The AC does not blow. It can be fixed, but is not operable at this time.

-- The left rear window does not go up or down.

-- There is an indentation in the front left fender.

-- The sunroof opens and closes but needs manual assistance to do so.

-- There is a series of small scratches in the paint on the roof, behind the sunroof.

-- The vehicle has a minor oil leak which is more noticeable after it has been run for quite awhile. Doesn't leak unless having just been run.

-- There are a few cracks in the dashboard, but has a nice dash cover.

-- Passenger side door cannot be unlocked with key, but driver's side lock and handle are new.

The car is 33 years old, and I would say is in above-average condition for other Mercedes its age. I have only made the car better since owning it, and have added 10,000 miles to its odometer, which is at nearly 234,000. The interior is in pretty decent shape; I would say 8 out of 10. I have replaced a handful of items on the car; the shocks, v-belts, valve cover gasket & other gaskets, 4 CV boots, the tires (approx. 7000 miles on them now), the vacuum system, the brake booster, front brake pads, rear flex plate, shifter bushings, fuel filter, and the turbocharger system. Like all diesels, it is at its best once it has been on the road and at cruising speed. It has decent acceleration, and it still rides very comfortably. Great candidate for converting to a biodiesel fuel vehicle... it gets nearly 30 mpg, and has a huge tank. I had planned on continuing to improve it, but mom and dad sold me their Accord for an excellent price, and my Benz has to go. Truly, I'd rather not sell it, but hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

I am the third owner, having purchased it nearly three years ago. Payment can be done through PayPal only, and shipping is buyer's responsibility. Title is clear. Please email with questions.

Daimler wants to cut EV research spending as it preps EQ

Wed, Oct 12 2016

Daimler AG is hoping that the legwork it's done preparing its EQ electric-vehicle sub-brand will allow it to slightly reduce annual spending on plug-in vehicle technology. The Mercedes-Benz parent is looking to cut electric-vehicle research-and-development spending to $13.2 billion in 2017 from about $15.4 billion this year, Bloomberg News says, citing comments Daimler CEO Dieter Zetsche made to journalists in Hamburg, Germany, this week. Daimler's annual R&D spending is up from about $11.5 billion in both 2013 and 2014. Like its competitors – for example Audi and BMW and its i sub-brand Â– Daimler is aiming to have as much as 25 percent of its annual vehicle sales be battery-electric within the next 10 years as part of an effort to meet stricter greenhouse-gas emissions mandates in both Europe and North America. In fact, Mercedes-Benz and Daimler's Smart division collectively have at least 10 electric-vehicle models on their slates during the next few years, though Zetsche said the German automaker will continue to find ways to make its gas- and diesel-powered vehicles more fuel-efficient as well. Daimler introduced a concept version of the Generation EQ electric SUV at the Paris Motor Show late last month. It comes powered by two electric motors and is made up of a combination of steel, aluminum, and carbon fiber, and boasts a 311-mile single-charge range (on the relatively lenient European testing standards). The SUV also has 402 horsepower, and the ability to go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in less than five seconds. Zetsche said at the time that Daimler was prepping powertrains and platforms for electric sedans, wagons, coupes, and roadsters, in addition to SUVs. Additionally, Daimler's Deutsche Accumotive unit is producing the lithium-ion battery packs for the EQs.
