Up for auction is a 1983 Mercedes Benz 300SD W126 sedan equipped with the very reliable 3.0L 5 cylinder turbo diesel engine. Vehicle is a Texas car purchased new in Dallas on 12-23-1982 (as per maintenance booklet). I have had the vehicle since July of 2013 and got it to tinker around with. I purchased a new car and now need more room in the garage. I have driven the car around 1000miles and cleaned it up and fixed some of the issues while I have had it. Car runs and drives well. I drove it from DFW to Austin and back in November with no problems. Car drives straight and does not pull to left or right. Car has 176,000 miles and still has more to go as these vehicles can go 300 to 400K miles. Car does not burn oil or leak a drop of oil. Engine oil level has not gone down in the 1000 miles I have driven it and has been in my garage since last July with not a drop on the floor. Paint on this car is fairly good and still has some shine. There is a dent repair on the driver rear door that the paint color does not match well and there could have been some other body panel touchups or damage repair done in the last 30 years but overall the paint looks ok. There is a very small bit of surface rust on the top edge of the driver door frame and a couple of spots below the rear window but nothing underneath at all. Looks like some water may have gotten into the trunk area but I have had the car in the garage and I haven't had an issue with it and not sure of its source. Dash is not cracked and seats are not torn. Overall the car looks good and this color combination is not too common and is one of the reasons I picked it up. Here are some of the things I have done to the vehicle: All interior lights replaced with LED bulbs. Also replaced the instrument cluster lighting with LEDs. All 4 new tires in Nov of 2013, about 500miles on them New Car stereo with all 4 new speakers. it is a CD/MP3 player and also has HD Radio with remote control. Power antenna works fine. New A/C compressor and filter drier recharged with R12. Performed oil change at 175K and replaced all oil, fuel, and air filters. Install new engine fan clutch. Install new ignition key tumbler. Installed new speedometer gears. Note: speedometer was making some noise and gears were in bad shape. Installed new gears but there is still a slight ticking noise. Here is some of the issues that may need addressed: Sunroof opens and closes but runs a little slow sometimes and may need some lubrication Drivers rear window doesn't function properly. motor runs but the window doesn't go down. Other windows ok. Drivers door handle is loose but still opens fine so I haven't replaced it. Cruise control doesn't work. I had the amplifier module reworked and tested and its ok so issue is elsewhere. Central locking system sometimes doesn't lock one of the back doors. A/C and heat work fine but sometimes the blower doesn't come on and you have to turn the fan switch on and off a couple of times to get it to come on. Belt for AC makes some noise at idle but goes away while driving. the belt is new and feels tight but just wanted to mention it. This car has been very reliable and I would not hesitate to drive it on a long drive. All safety items work as they should, lights, signals, washer and wipers, parking brake, etc. Car is not perfect as can be expected for a 31 year old car with 176K but still has lots of miles left. Please ask all questions before bidding and I will be happy to answer them. Will sell only to United States. No international bidders please. Thank you for looking!! |

Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG spied in Sweden
Wed, 16 Jan 2013We've spotted the all-new Mercedes-Benz GLA testing a couple times in recent months in getting closer to production form and shedding camouflage, but now it looks like we're see our first look at the AMG version of this compact crossover. The low ride height might trick some into thinking that we're just seeing the already-confirmed A45 AMG out testing, but the unique beltline, rear doors and side windows confirm this is some version of the GLA-Class.
What makes us so confident that this is the AMG model? Well, for starters, this prototype has beefier brakes with cross-drilled front and rear rotors and bigger front calipers, but it also sports dual exhaust outlets poking through the rear fascia and a suspension that has been lowered considerably. Our spy shooters said that this car's exhaust note made it almost certainly an AMG model.
Just to be clear, the GLA AMG will not be powered by a 4.5-liter engine. The closely related A45 AMG will carry the "45" in its name to celebrate the first 45 years of AMG, and our sources seem to indicate the AMG version of the GLA will do the same. We're expecting this sporty crossover to produce as much as 350 horsepower from its AMG-tuned four-cylinder engine, and like the all-new E63 AMG, it could very well come standard with 4Matic all-wheel drive.
Mercedes-Maybach Pullman is the luxury car for the discerning dictator
Fri, Mar 16 2018For decades, Mercedes-Benz and Mercedes-Maybach cars have been the ride of choice for leaders across the globe, presidents, ambassadors, dictators and despots alike. The Pullman model — a long-wheelbase six-seat variant — has been particularly popular with this select clientele. This week, the German automaker announced the latest version of the car, the Mercedes-Maybach Pullman S650. Essentially, this is a stretched version of the V12-powered Maybach with two rear-facing seats just behind the front row. Mercedes is calling this vis-a-vis seating. There's also a partitioning glass between the front seats and the rear cabin. This is of course to help prevent the chauffeur from learning and spilling any state secrets or plans for plans for secret moon bases. New for this model is a front-facing camera for rear-seat passengers. This allows occupants to watch for any oncoming obstacles, barricades or road blocks. Visually, there's no mistaking the Pullman for another Maybach or really anything else on the road. The car is 21.3-feet long, 4.5-feet longer than the standard Maybach or roughly the size of two and a half Smart Fortwo placed bumper-to-bumper. The requisite 20-inch 10-hole wheels are present and the standard pinstripe Maybach grille has been updated with a slightly new design. The car only comes in S650 trim, meaning it's powered by a 630 horsepower 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12. As expected, the Mercedes-Maybach Pullman isn't cheap. Orders have started, but be prepared to shell out at least $615,000 before adding any custom touches.

Mercedes to roll out S65 AMG Coupe in July
Mon, 07 Apr 2014We're still a couple of weeks away from the public debut of the new Mercedes S63 AMG Coupe at the fast-approaching New York Auto Show, but already we're receiving word of an even more powerful version in the works. That, of course, would be the S65 AMG Coupe - the twelve-cylinder version of the latest S-Class Coupe, two-door counterpart to the S65 AMG sedan and replacement for the outgoing CL65 AMG.
Like the four-door version rolled out back in November, the S65 AMG Coupe would be distinguished from less powerful vehicles (which, lets face it, is just about everything) principally by its engine: a massive, 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12 that produces 621 horsepower, 738 pound-feet of torque and cares as much about global warming as an oil-shipping mega-tanker.
Because Merc's 4Matic all-wheel drive system can't handle that much torque, the ne plus ultra coupe would (like the S65 sedan but unlike the S63 coupe) be offered only in rear-drive form. That means it will have that much more trouble getting the power down to the road, but since the Magic Body Control suspension is similarly incompatible with 4Matic, the flagship coupe will get that trick suspension.
