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: |

These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky
Fri, 24 Aug 2012It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
Check out our gallery of discontinued cars above, then scroll down for more information.
Mercedes releases 6x6 G63 AMG specs and pics [w/video]
Fri, 15 Mar 2013Mercedes-Benz has finally dropped full details on its insane G63 AMG 6x6. The machine puts 544 horsepower to all six wheels thanks to a twin-turbocharged 5.5-liter V8. A seven-speed gearbox shuttles power to the ground via three sets of portal axles, which helps give this machine a full 15.75 inches of ground clearance. By comparison, the standard G63 AMG sits with just 8.27 inches of ground clearance. The extra lift allows this 6x6 to ford nearly 40 inches of water and run massive 37-inch tires. All told, there are five differential locks on this thing, all controlled by a special "locking logic" that provides the best traction possible for any given situation.
The controls offer up three stages of locking, which we can only assume range from JKLOL to OMGWTF. Right now, AMG says this monstrosity is only a show vehicle, but we imagine it wouldn't take much to convince the team to whip up one of your very own. Check out our full gallery and the press release below for all the nitty gritty. While you're down there, you can also check out the video on the machine one more time.
Mercedes-Benz releases stunning first images of 2014 S-Class
Mon, 18 Mar 2013
The all-new 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class, designated W222, is one of the most highly anticipated debuts of its model year. Every generation of the flagship sedan has broken new ground in technology and innovation for the entire industry, and the German automaker appears determined to raise the bar much further with its latest arrival as it promises to deliver "the best automobile in the world." Mercedes-Benz has just released nearly two dozen interior images of the new sedan, showing off style in design, craftsmanship in execution and pioneering advancements in technology.
Unlike all previous generations - the first S-Class officially arrived in 1972 - the 2014 model completely discards a traditional instrument cluster and replaces it with two high-resolution color displays in 8:3 format with a screen diagonal of 12.3 inches (the outgoing model's gauges were a mix of digital and analog). The left unit displays traditional analog gauges (digitally, of course) while the right unit is reserved for infotainment and comfort settings with the automaker's all-new mBrace2 - a cloud-based entertainment and information delivery system that is rolling out this year.
