Thanks for looking at my 83 Benz. This car is the 123 body which was the most popular model ever made by Mercedes and has the 5 cylinder 3-liter diesel engine with a turbocharger. I have owned it personally since 2006 and drove it almost every day. It was run extensively on biodiesel and runs well on it. I have recently purchased my first new car in many years and something has to go. Sadly it is the benz. I will try to describe it as accurately as possible and if you have questions don't hesitate to contact me. I will list the bad items first then the good.
The bad
The odometer never worked while I have owned the car so the mileage is higher than what shows. There is peeling in the clearcoat so it could be shinier.Only starts in neutral. (this may be a minor adjustment) The drivers seat has a hole in the back cushion (covered by the seat cover in the pics) Rear power windows do not quite go to the top on there own, they must be helped. Power antenna works but isn't hooked to the radio for activation. (a good radio installer could probably hook it up) Air conditioning works but leaks badly so is not charged. Cruise control doesn't work.Crack in windshield.Tear in headliner.
The good
I replaced the motor last year with a low mileage one from a wrecked car. Runs very well.Tires were purchased by me and have about 60% left on them. Has a good spare. Has a nice stereo -cd player. Comes with a set of regulators and motors for the back power windows. I have a replacement speedometer to fix the odometer issue that comes with it. I have a number of other miscellaneous. extra parts that will also go with it. When we replaced the engine we also replaced the AC compressor but it hasn't been charged up. If the price goes high enough (don't ask) I will replace the windshield The body on this car is exceptionally straight and it has minimal dings etc. Very good for a car of this vintage. I installed a new 6-year battery last week.
I'm sure I may have missed something so just ask any questions you want answered.

2017 Aston Marin Lagonda could live on Mercedes M-Class platform
Tue, 29 Oct 2013A few weeks ago, we brought you news from the launch of the Aston Martin Vanquish Volante that the British brand, which is formally known as Aston Martin Lagonda, was still planning on going ahead with a Lagonda-badged crossover. Now comes word that that vehicle could very well be based on a Mercedes-Benz M-Class.
When the first Lagonda Concept debuted at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show, it sat on a Mercedes-Benz GL-Class platform, some four years before Aston Martin and Mercedes-AMG deal was inked. And with that partnership, which will see Aston Martin gain access to AMG electrics and "bespoke, V8 powertrains," the opportunities for platform sharing are many.
Dr. Ulrich Bez, the boss of Aston Martin, told the UK's AutoCar, "I look at what Porsche is doing with the 911 as its core business and then it is able to do models like the Cayenne based on the Volkswagen Touareg. It is good business." We've said many times that we'll tolerate exotic CUVs and SUVs if it means keeping the beloved core models alive, which has been the case with Porsche. We see no reason Aston Martin wouldn't be able to do the same.
SRT Viper dukes it out with Mercedes SLS Black Series in new Head 2 Head
Fri, 05 Jul 2013In Episode 36 of Motor Trend's Head 2 Head, now that the Corvette ZR1 is no more, Jonny Lieberman has to look overseas to the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series for a challenger with similar philosophy to the SRT Viper: long hood hiding a high-horsepower engine set way back, rear-wheel drive, tiny trunks. That puts the Viper's 8.4-liter V10 with 640 horsepower and 600 pound-feet of torque against the SLS AMG's 6.2-liter V8 with 622 hp and 468 lb-ft.
However, the congruences in philosophy and magnitude of numbers doesn't translate to the driving experiences of the two, which are literally and figuratively on different continents. Lieberman gets a handle on the two of them on Northern California roads, Randy Probst then finds out how, and how quickly, they can lap Laguna Seca.
They both get kudos for being improvements on their original sources, but only one of them can take the win. You can find out by watching the video below.
Mercedes-AMG teases GT interior, announces fall 2014 debut
Tue, 15 Apr 2014Mercedes-Benz opted to tease the assembled media at its post-New York Auto Show party, showing off a pair of images of the exquisitely crafted interior of the highly anticipated successor of the SLS AMG - the V8-powered Mercedes-AMG GT.
Slated for a debut in the fall at either Paris or Los Angeles (we're betting Paris), you'll note straight away that there's something wrong with this car's name. Where's the "Benz?" Well, it's been ditched to, as Mercedes says, "make the dream of the authentic Mercedes-AMG sports car come true." Sorry Karl.
"The new Mercedes-AMG GT proves that we will be positioning AMG as a dynamic sports car brand even more strongly and aggressively than before," said Tobias Moers, CEO of Mercedes-AMG.
