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!

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.
2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class revealed again in 1:18 scale
Fri, 10 May 2013There is plenty to look forward to when it comes to the 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class, but it could end up being a fairly anticlimactic reveal thanks to fully exposed spy shots, a leaked press photo and now images of a diecast version of the luxury sedan. Autoweek.nl has images showing a highly detailed 1:18 scale model of the redesigned S-Class that matches up with everything we've seen so far.
This isn't the first time a model car spoiled a new vehicle's reveal, as the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class and 2013 SRT Viper were both unceremoniously revealed in toy form first. World Car Fans is reporting that the car 2014 S-Class will be officially unveiled on May 15, but at this point, all that's left to wonder about is the official on-sale date and what will be under the hood.
Mercedes considering GLA-based crossover coupe
Wed, 30 Apr 2014BMW opened a whole Pandora's Box when it introduced the X6 back in 2008. Sure it made little sense, sacrificing all that "utility" for a little more "sport," but it's been a solid success for BMW - especially considering the nominal expense it cost to develop the X6 on top of the X5 on which it's based. Little wonder that, while BMW has already followed up with a smaller version in the form of the X4, other automakers are starting to catch up. And that includes Mercedes-Benz.
The German automaker is preparing to launch a new MLC, based on the M-Class but with a sportier silhouette, and previewed it with the Concept Coupe SUV at the Beijing Motor Show. But that's just the start, according to the latest report from Automotive News Europe.
Mercedes is reportedly considering spinning off an entire line of crossovers more for use on the road than off it. Which may go without saying for most crossovers on the market, but considering the Geländwagen with which Mercedes got its start in SUVs, would mean an even further departure than it has undertaken already.
