 Up for sale is a 1983 Mercedes-Benz 300 SD.  This is originally from Germany and was imported in 1983, purchased by a corporation.  Has 3 service books up to 350000 miles on the car show maintenance and even has the customs record and metal stamp used to get the car here to the US.

I bought the car with just a little less mileage than shown on the odometer.  It quit soon after... has been rebuilt once before.  I have since added on about 6500 miles.  The reason I am selling is that I have too many projects to make this another one.  I wanted to murder it out since it's missing the MB emblems and has rough paint... but again, priorities.

Condition of the car:
Paint is worn (common for this year of car).
The engine runs rough when cold, and could be valve timing.  I have heard that this is a regular maintenance issue and is relatively easy to do at home, but I am not a mechanic
Engine does not start easily in cold weather.
Engine leaves its mark (leaky seal) and it does eat a bit of oil - Jug of Rotella-T included.
Glowplugs are dead, but I have 5 new ones in box!!
I swapped out the injectors for others from a salvage vehilce with 270,000 miles... it runs a little rougher as they need cleaned out/driven on.  Will include the old ones (one leaks and causes a knock)
Interior has some things that are in great shape... Trim on dash (real wood) is warped and hardly attached.
The vinyl around the doors is not tucked as was in factory.
The right rear windows tint is peeling away from window.
There are some stains on carpet.
The dashboard is cracked from sun damage.
Car is well worn.
Car does run, and down the highway, runs great!  Hard starts after injector swap especially.  Great project car!
Cruise control does NOT work, but all of it is there.  It is disconnected from the motor.
Air conditioner does NOT work... needs drained and recharged.
Right rear electric window sometimes will get stuck.  Don't know if it's the relay or the motor or electrical connection.
Everything else works pretty good!

Mileage:
Odometer reads 442,275, but it does not work currently.  There are about 6,500 more miles on the car than displayed.

 Guages:

Forgot to mention.  Tachometer sometimes kicks in, but usually is out.  The cable is worn out.
Oil pressure always reads off the chart.  Engine has good oil pressure though.
Fuel gauge varies.  Sometimes it's right, sometimes it's wrong.  The little warning light is ALWAYS RIGHT!

The Mercedes G-Class gets the full Maybach treatment before the curtain finally closes

Mon, Feb 6 2017

Like the hotdog and soda combo at Costco or the official website for the 1996 movie Space Jam, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class has soldiered on nearly unaltered since its birth. Sure, there have been variants like the wonderfully over-the-top G63 6x6, but the G-Wagen is essentially the same squared-off SUV with rifle-bolt locks and doors with enough mass to support a minor gravity field. Spy shots show a replacement is finally on the horizon, but based on the leaked YouTube video above and Instagram post below, it looks like the current model is going to get the full Mercedes-Maybach Landaulet treatment before the curtain finally closes. While there has been no official word from the automaker, all signs point to a genuine Mercedes-Maybach product. The vehicle is badged as a G650, which falls in line with other current V12-powered Mercedes-Maybach products. The Maybach name and badge are found in all the expected places. The license closely matches other Mercedes German-manufacturer plates. The carbon fiber fender flares and portal axles look like they were taken from the G550 4x42. The latter means, despite the increased wheelbase, this new model should still be a formidable off-road machine. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. While we can't see the interior, look for the typical Maybach treatment. That means high-quality leather surfaces throughout and an increased focus on rear seat comfort and convenience. If this is indeed a G650, it's packing a 6.0-liter twin-turbocharged V12 under the hood that churns out 630 horsepower and 737 pound-feet of torque. The partial convertible top is what gives this the Landaulet moniker. According to the text on this Instagram post, there will only be 99 examples produced. Look for a full reveal in the next few months. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

Genesis cars win accolades, offer value — so why are sales so bad?

Tue, Jul 31 2018

My high-school buddy Brent Cormier was so smitten with the Genesis G80 when he saw it at an event I hosted at SXSW in 2016 he bought a used 2013 Hyundai Genesis a short time later and fell in love with the car. "It surpasses my every expectation," said Cormier, a self-described "renaissance man" who owns and runs a real estate agency with his wife Laura, is a food service executive chef and part owner of Austin-based Thin the Herd Guitars. "I was locked into Mercedes and Audi for 10 years," he added. "And felt trapped in an endless pit of maintenance costs." After owning the Genesis over the past two years — including using it as an Uber and Lyft driver to earn extra cash — Cormier learned what some frugal luxury sedan buyers and a handful of car reviewers have discovered: Genesis offers great bang for the buck compared to other premium brands and can compete with the best in terms of performance, features and comfort. Hyundai's luxury brand also earned a prominent third-party endorsement last week when for the first time Genesis topped J.D. Power's 2018 APEAL study, surpassing German luxury-performance icon Porsche. The APEAL study (which stands for Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout) "measures owners' emotional attachment and level of excitement across 77 attributes," ranging from performance to comfort, and asks nearly 68,000 owners of new 2018 models to score vehicles on a 1,000-point scale. In its second year ranked as a stand-alone brand, Genesis earned an APEAL score that bumped it up 15 points to 884 and helped push it past Porsche — and past BMW, Lincoln, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volvo, Cadillac, Land Rover and Lexus, in order of ranking. Last month, Genesis also topped J.D. Power's Initial Quality Survey (IQS) for the first time this year. And both its models were awarded Top Safety Pick Plus ratings by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, among 11 Plus ratings in all for Korean vehicles. Despite high J.D. Power rankings and great reviews, Genesis U.S. sales were off 50 percent for the first six months of 2018 compared to 2017, and in June Genesis sold only 796 vehicles — the first time U.S. numbers dropped below 1,000 in a month. Part of Genesis's APEAL and IQS success can be attributed to its small product lineup: just two models, the G80 and G90 sedans, with a third, the 2019 G70, launching later this year. And while those numbers may help in J.D.
