1982 Mercedes 300sd Turbo Diesel Excellent Storage Find No Reserve on 2040-cars
Edgewood, New Mexico, United States

hello,
thanks for looking at my car.....here is the story....we have a towing company here in albuquerque and got this car from a local storage unit due to non-payment from the renter. the car had been stored there for some time and its believed the owner pased away. the car was from texas. we obtained clear title for it through a towing a storage lien. the mileage on the car is 145,000 and i believe it to be accurate, but please use your own judgement. the odometer did work when i first drove it until i pushed the button to reset the trip to zero, and it never worked again. due to mew mexico law, all vehicles taken by towing and storage liens have the title stated as not actual miles. this title will reflect this.......ok, now the condition. the body on this car is AMAZING to say the least. no dents, rust, damage or anything i can find. the paint is LIKE NEW really, the chrome and paint shine like a new one. it has only a couple small nicks in the paint, one on the drivers mirror, and one near the left rear wheel well. the inside is in good shape too. the dash has some cracks from the desert heat and some of the wood too but not bad. all the rugs, door panels, headliner and things like that are in great shape. now some thing need attention as most of these old cars do. only the drivers window works. the passenger side does not do anything, and both rear doors, i think, may need window regulators. ( i can hear the motors running ). the radio lights up, and the display works but there is no sound. the clock doe not work. the tachometer does work after the car warms up. the power mirror on the right side does not work.....the other stuff like the speedometer, all other gauges, all lights, heater a/c, both power seats, wipers, horn all do work.....running condition....the car sails down the highway with good power and handles well. has almost new tires all the way around. the transmission shifts through the gears up and down and engages good with no slipping. the diesel engine is an old school diesel. it needs glow plugs to start sounds like a truck diesel, and has the usual diesel smoke. but all in all it runs like it should. all around a good solid mercedes. please look at the photos, as i dont know what more to say, only that it will sell without reserve, so if you want it, bid on it !! the car can stay here (garaged ) for up to 60 days if need be as long as its paid in full. i can help load on your trailer or transporter for you.....thank you and good luck !!!! |

2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA order guide leaked
Wed, 06 Feb 2013The dealer order guide for the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA has made its way online courtesy of the crew at CLAForums.com, and not only does it shed light on the ways buyers will be able to configure the entry-level sedan, it talks specific option pricing. Shoppers will be able to select between the CLA250 and CLA250 4Matic, and the option sheet should offer a number of packages to suit buyer tastes, including a sport package with tweaked fascias and unique wheels. Bi-xenon headlamps and 18-inch alloys may also be had as well as a panoramic sunroof and a collision avoidance system. The CLA will be available with a number of active safety systems on board, including lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, park assist and blind spot assist, to name a few.
The new sedan comes in 10 colors, including a very dashing purple Mecedes-Benz calls Northern Lights Violet, and there are a total of four interior trim finishes. The automaker hasn't released final pricing of all models just as of yet - we do know from Mercedes' Kate Upton Super Bowl ad that the car will start at $29,900 - but you can check out individual option and package pricing in the gallery. You can also find more information over at CLAForums.com.
Online Find of the Day: Lexus-engined Mercedes pickup is a vintage hybrid
Tue, 16 Sep 2014You have to love someone who gets incredibly committed to a very weird idea. What you see for sale here is a right-hand drive 1971 Mercedes-Benz 220D in South Africa, but this old Mercedes is now converted into a pickup, complete with bed cover, and there's big secret under the hood, too.
The pickup conversion appears well done based on seller Sedgefield Classic Cars' photos. Even the tonneau cover fits well. You could almost believe that this Mercedes lived its life as a Chevrolet El Camino-like pickup from the very beginning.
However, the rear-quarters conversion might not be the weirdest thing about this Mercedes. The original diesel is gone from the engine bay in favor of a Lexus V8. It seems really odd to pop the hood and find a Japanese mill in this German car, but the photos make it look like a fairly well performed swap. So, bravo to the crazy thinking. According to the seller speaking to Autoblog by email, "as far as we can establish, this was done a few years ago, with all Lexus components."
2015 Mexican Grand Prix is a lot like old times
Mon, Nov 2 2015The last time Formula One visited Mexico, in 1992, 26 cars powered by eight engine manufacturers (counting Honda and Mugen-Honda separately) lined up on the grid; it would have been nine engine makers but the Brabham-Judd cars failed to qualify. In 1992 Lewis Hamilton was seven years old, Sebastian Vettel was five, Max Verstappen was still five years away from being born. Two of the current Sky Sports F1 commentary team, Martin Brundle and Johnny Herbert, were drivers. The starting three were Nigel Mansell on pole – 39 years old, this the year he'd win his only World Championship – and Riccardo Patrese both driving Williams-Renault cars, followed by Michael Schumacher in a Benetton-Ford. Only 13 of the 26 starters would finish. The circuit is has been reworked to today's safer standards, the track surface is brand new and slippery, but the atmosphere and packed grandstands haven't changed. Nico Rosberg was another point of consistency, scoring pole position for the fourth race in a row to beat his now-World-Champion teammate Hamilton by almost two-tenths of a second. The last time Rosberg turned pole position into a victory? The Spanish Grand Prix back in May. Vettel locked up third for Ferrari, followed by the Infiniti Red Bull Racing duo of Daniil Kvyat and Daniel Ricciardo. Williams went two-up as well, Valtteri Bottas in sixth ahead of Felipe Massa in seventh. Max Verstappen turned in a great late lap to reserve eighth place, Sergio Perez did all he could in front of his home crowd to get ninth, teammate Nico Hulkenberg the caboose in the top ten. In that 1992 race the first three on the grid finished the race in the same order after Mansell dominated, and it was almost the same in 2015. If Rosberg had driven the whole season like he drove today the Driver's World Championship would still be up for grabs. He got a great start and held his line through the first corner, coming out ahead of Hamilton through the initial kinks, pulling away as soon as he got to the straight. Hamilton was never more than a few seconds behind, but every time the Brit inched closer the German found a few more tenths to keep his distance. The field got bunched up when the Safety Car came out on Lap 53 after Vettel spun and got stuck in the barriers, but Rosberg handled the restart perfectly. Both drivers made small mistakes in the last few laps while driving on the edge, but Rosberg earned a strong victory, crossing the line two seconds ahead of his teammate.
