1983 Mercedes 300cd Turbo Diesel Coupe No Reserve! on 2040-cars
South Dartmouth, Massachusetts, United States
|
Welcome to my auction. I've owned many of these model 123 Turbo Diesels, and purchased this car a couple months ago with the intent to resale after giving it Mechanical and Cosmetic servicing. This is a no reserve auction. My ideal winning bidder will have watched the many Mercedes Repair videos by MercedesSource.com on YouTube. It is the best source of Mercedes mechanical help, and will prepare the winning bidder about how to buy and care for this Mercedes. The car starts easily, runs and drives well. Here's the details on this car: Maintenance on 10/18/2013: Valves adjusted, new Vacuum Shift Actuator, New Glow Plugs after reeming, new Fuel Filter and in-line fuel filter, Oil and filter change. Also air cleaner housing mount fixed. Mechanical topics: Wiper motor needs fixing (arms taken off and in trunk), Transmission shift early at first shift - perhaps needs adjusting or leave as-is, should you need highway ramp speed acceleration. Battery light stay on after shut off and is there's a drain on the battery over time. I remove the negative terminal to keep the battery ok for now. The window regulators and switches are untested, however I know the drivers window works fine. A/C untested. Heat and vent fan motor works ok with no smells. Dash light and fuel gauge not working, undiagnosed. Previous owner said that he replaced the rear brake shoes. It does brake well. Hood pull opener (inside car) is loose. It has a Mercedes Muffler. The exhaust system is fine. The suspension is ok, and the steering is fairly tight. Glass is original and not fogged. Window seats at doors have cracks. Cosmetic topics: Passenger door dented (opens and closes fine); previous owner removed inside door panel and started to push out dent. Right now the inside panel is off the car - I have all the interior parts for the winning bidder to put back on), rear seat leather cracked and bottom cushion passenger side is fragile. See photos of rust. I've taken photos on the Garage Lift while the car was getting serviced. The car appears to be the original paint however I can't guarantee that....it was waxed and machine buffed in October. The tires are matching and roughly 50% worn. The spare tire is old and should be replaced. It is a matching rim although not as clean as the other 4 rims. The trunk leaks after a rain storm, and puddles on the right side. I will add a photo with the Mercedes brand battery soon. I cleaned the battery tray and painted the tray as well. Extra parts available and not included in this auction: 2 used Blue color doors (Drivers and Passenger door skins with exterior trim and handles), 1 Blue trunk lid, 1 front bumper with shocks and all trim. Winning bidder can have the opportunity to view and purchase after auction end. Ask questions before bidding please. I will work with a shipping company should you need this shipped to your house, however pickup needs to be within 7 days of auction end unless arrangements are made before hand. I will add more notes on this car, based on questions from bidders and any new information that would help someone know this car. Many additional photos at this Google Images page: |

Experience the New York Auto Show by drone
Fri, Apr 10 2015The Autoblog team recently returned from wildly running around the Javits Center to cover all the news and debuts at the New York Auto Show. Sometimes, it's nice to take a more serene look at the exhibition floor, though, and the event's organizers are providing that exact opportunity by flying a drone through the hall. Combined with the down-tempo music, this clip feels like a form of automotive meditation. If you're going to miss the show in the Big Apple, the drone also provides a good overview at the exhibition floor, especially at the stands from Lexus, Buick, Dodge, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota and BMW. Plus, it's a fun way to see some vehicles from a completely different angle than they ever appear on the road.

Smart Cross Connect app changes how ForTwos get used [UPDATE]
Tue, Oct 27 2015UPDATE: The story's been updated with a response from a Smart representative. There are parking spaces, and then there are Fortwo parking spaces. Smart, which is owned by Mercedes-Benz parent Daimler, is looking for a way for its customers to take advantage of the difference. Think of it as a big thing for really small cars. Smart is working on an app for the redesigned Fortwo called Cross Connect that will be available as soon as next month, says Automotive News, citing Smart chief Annette Winkler. The idea is to connect owners of the diminutive two-seat vehicles to, for example, let them tell each other when there's a parking space that's too small for just about any other vehicle but big enough for a Smart. If you think that's a small thing, think again. The Fortwo is 8 feet, 10 inches long. That's almost six feet shorter than a Toyota Prius, which itself isn't exactly a stretch limo. In fact, the length of a Smart Fortwo is just 10 inches longer than the width of a Ford F-150, in case anyone was having misgivings about parking perpendicular in a parallel spot. Parking has become more relevant, and tougher, as more people move to urban centers. For instance, BMW said earlier this month that it would discontinue its DriveNow car-sharing operations in San Francisco because of the challenge of parking vehicles on that city's streets. Other possible amenities with the Cross Connect app including the enabling of personal car sharing as well as information on car washes that offer discounted rates for Smart Fortwo. Yes, there are some out there, apparently, and we salute them. Michael Minielly, a spokesman for Mercedes-Benz, confirmed to Autoblog that the Cross Connect features would be available in November.

Mercedes rules out hybrid supercar, promises SLS successor
Sat, 16 Mar 2013The recent Geneva Motor Show was a festival of hypercars, with the presence of not one, but three over-the-top debuts: the Lamborghini Veneno, McLaren P1 and Ferrari LeFerrari. The latter two have hitched their carbon fiber bumpers to the electrification bandwagon by using hybrid-electric powertrains not entirely unlike the propulsion systems we've come to know in cars like the Toyota Prius and Chevrolet Volt. Does that mean the flow of electrons up the four-wheeled food chain will eventually consume our hallowed supercars? Not if AMG has anything to say about it.
AMG Director of Vehicle Development Tobias Moers recently confirmed that not only will there be a successor to the Mercedes-Benz performance division's SLS AMG, he notes that its internal combustion engine will most definitely not be sharing living quarters with an electric drivetrain. Instead, AMG plans to focus on further pushing the power and efficiency envelope of the internal combustion engine and advancing the use of lightweight materials to achieve their goals. The first example of this effort can be seen in the new SLS AMG Black Series that incorporates many weight-saving techniques to shed some 154 pounds from the SLS AMG GT (above), which itself is lighter than the standard SLS AMG.
Furthermore, Moers remarks that his company is happy to leave the hypercar segment to companies like Ferrari and McLaren. He admits that, "Ferrari in the hyper-car segment is still a different brand than AMG. We have to be honest..." So rather than taking the SLS further upmarket to do battle with bulls and stallions, Moers hinted that the next-generation SLS may be joined by another performance model that fits neatly between itself and the C63 AMG.
