This ad is for a 1983 Mercedes-Benz 300D turbo-diesel. The car was originally silver and when I purchased it, I had it painted in Mango Green, which is a rare, but factory color for Mercedes of this vintage.
The car overall has a nice interior, and the seats are very comfortable. I'd say that the seats are in better than average condition, considering the age of the car. The dashboard is in decent shape, and has only minor cracking. The car also has the original floor mats, and trunk mat.
The car runs well, and starts easily even in cold temperatures (even down to 3 degrees). The transmission is in good shape, and has clean, firm shifts.
I have done a lot of work to the car since I've owned it, including many new suspension components.

Work that has been done, or parts that have been replaced since I've owned the car:

-Exterior repainted in Mango Green in 2007
-New inner and outer front wheel bearings (total of 4)
-New Bilstein shock absorbers
-New steering damper
-New Goodyear tires (with less than 50 miles)
-New rear subframe bushings
-New tie-rods
-New front upper control arms
-New differential mount
-New front brake rotors
-New front brake calipers
-New front brake pads
-New air conditioning compressor, dryer, and expansion valve
-New right rear door seal
-New left side axle
-New right rear window motor
-New power window switches (the ones in the center console)
-New power steering fluid
-Differential oil changed
-Dynamat soundproofing on the trunk lid, under and behind rear seat, on parcel shelf, and on all four doors.
-Dynamat Hoodliner hoodpad

The car does have a few issues that need to be worked out.
The right side power windows are not currently working.
There is a minor leak inside the car. It is never enough to make any standing in the back of the car.
The car has the original radio, and it needs the code to work. The car doesn't currently have any speakers installed. The rear speaker openings in the parcel shelf were enlarged slightly, and so the original speaker grills do not cover the openings.
The car has some minor bubbling on the bottom of the front right fender, and on the bottom of the left rear fender. Otherwise the paint is in excellent shape.
The odometer isn't working, and hasn't since I've owned the car.
The windshield has large crack, and may need to be replaced to pass inspection.
The check-strap is missing on the right rear door.
The driver's seat cushion has spot where the vinyl has separated from the canvas backer. The vinyl is not in danger of peeling off, and the rest of the cover is in excellent shape.

However, the car as a whole is excellent considering the age.
The car has the upgraded H4 headlights, which are more modern and have a wider beam pattern than the sealed beam lights that this car came with originally.
The left side windows and sunroof work properly.
The car has no shakes, shimmies, vibrations, or rattles.
The headlights, marker lights, brake lights, and signal lights are all properly functioning.
All of the gauges are properly functioning.

Overall, this is a very solid car, in a very unusual color. I would not hesitate driving the car anywhere.

2014 Mercedes-Benz B-Class ED has 87-mile range, 84 MPGe

Fri, Jul 11 2014

Well, that extra weight had to be felt somewhere. With Mercedes-Benz getting ready to start US sales of its B-Class Electric drive this summer, the big question was how well its range would stack up against other electric vehicles sold in the States. Turns out, the Benz is a bit of a juice hog. Let's say up front that the 87-mile single-charge range of the Mercedes-Benz actually stacks up nicely against its competition, since that distance puts the new model right in line with the Nissan Leaf and BMW i3 (we'll ignore the Tesla Model S for a second, here). You can find the numbers at the US Department of Energy's FuelEconomy website. As far as miles per gallon equivalent ratings, though, the Benz's steel frame makes it come up short, as it's about 1,300 pounds heavier than the carbon-fiber-body i3 and about 600 pounds heavier than the Leaf. The B-Class EV has a bigger battery than the i3 or the Leaf (36 kWh compared to 22 kWh for the i3 and 24 kWh for the Leaf) and that's one reason the car gets an 84 MPGe rating, which is about 26 percent less than the Leaf's and 32 percent less than the i3's. But at least the local utility companies will be happy. Mercedes-Benz priced the 177-horsepower B-Class ED in April at $41,450, or $100 more than the i3.

2014 Mercedes-Benz S500 Plug-in Hybrid for fat cats frugal with fuel

Thu, 12 Sep 2013

Judging by how long we waited to get a clear shot of the Mercedes-Benz S500 Plug-in Hybrid, you'd have thought hybrid cars were only driven by Terminators and that the technology arrived only 48 hours ago through a wormhole in the Mercedes stand. The newest member of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class hybrid band - joining the S400 Hybrid and S350 BlueTEC Hybrid, it hits notes like a 5.5-second sprint from standstill to 62 miles per hour, up to 19 miles of ion-powered running and uses three liters of gasoline per 100 kilometers in Europe (78.41 mpg US, but our mpg test cycle is different than their mpg test cycle).
The lump up front is a turbocharged, 3.0-liter V6, the lump in back - note the reduction in trunk space - is a pack of lithium-ion batteries that juice an 80-kilowatt electric motor. Other than having four drive options for controlling electric drive and battery usage, it's all S-Class all the time, with leather-covered everything and those mountainous thrones that bring to mind words like "Archduke" and "Papal."
You'll find our hard-earned gallery from the Frankfurt Motor Show floor above, and more words of information in the press release below.
