1984 Mercedes 300d Diesel Bio Antique on 2040-cars
Portland, Maine, United States
|
84 Mercedes 300D. This is an incredibly strong running diesel that I've
run on BIO quite a bit. 287,XXX miles. It's my daily driver and I cart
my 20 month old daughter around in it daily. Very safe and although an
antique, I always have my cars state inspected. The little one is
getting not so little, so the need to upsize means my Benz has to go.
This car has been meticulously maintained and just gracefully made a
900-mile round trip, getting nearly 30mpg.
Hot heat, cold air, operating sun roof, beautiful interior (shocking with a 20 month old), clean trunk, paint still takes a shine with ease. A real head turner, cream puff, beaut, cherry, peach, all of those wonderful things. In all seriousness, this is a safe and great running car that I trust as a daily driver with my family and has never let me down. 4 studded Goodyear snow tires with less than 500 miles on them are also included, they cost me $500 less than 1 year ago. Tow package recently professionally installed and wired, but never used. New parts within the last year or so include, but are not limited to: Great Michelin Tires, rotated and balanced 100 miles ago Recent Alignment Brakes Rotors Suspension Parts Belts Hoses Water Pump Aux. Water Pump Thermostat Glow Plugs & Relay Block Heater Cord Climate Control Unit Blend Door Vacuum Switches Rebuilt Original Radio (tape deck) by orig. manufacturer Becker Autosound with custom, unobtrusive MP3 aux jack (must see to appreciate) Rear Subframe Mounts Rear Diff Mount Proper Diesel Purge Fuel Filers Fuel Lines Vacuum Pump Rebuild Vacuum Lines Steering Box Front License Plate Bracket Power Antenna New Headlamps Orig. Bosch Amber Fog Lamps The not fantastic but not awful: A little rust beginning rear quarters. Speedometer works great, though odometer just gave up the ghost - a $110 quote from speedometers.com for the fix. Some cracks in the dash Seam splitting in the driver's seat Rear power windows are inoperable Rear passenger power lock must be locked/unlocked manually. Car sold as is with no warranty written or implied. Bid with confidence, fly in and driver her home. I'll also help load if you decide to ship. I'm not trying to retire on this sale or complete my child's college fund, just get a start on getting something more suitable for a growing family. Feel free to ask any questions you have and I'll try to answer them to the best of my ability. |

Meet Buster, this 1968 Porsche racecar transporter from Mercedes
Thu, Dec 11 2014If you're thinking about Porsche and Mercedes-Benz when it comes to motorsports, your first thought is probably on the two German brands battling on the track. However, for decades, whenever Porsche's factory team went to compete, a custom Mercedes was right along with them hauling the racecars. These days the truck lives in the Brumos Collection in Jacksonville, FL, and goes by the nickname Buster. However, its story goes back to 1968 when Porsche ordered two commercial vehicles from Mercedes and then handed them over to a Stuttgart-based outfitter for customization. The results were these racing transporters that hauled models like the 917 and 956 until the '80s. The other survived, too, with a place in Porsche's collection. Well-known racers in their own right, Brumos scooped up the transporter in 2003 and have kept driving it to vintage racing events. The interior now boasts the signatures of many of the great drivers from the era of this historic truck. Watch the video for the whole story on the Mercedes with a whole lot of Porsche inside.
Popular Science magazine's Best Of What's New 2012 all ate up with cars
Tue, 20 Nov 2012Popular Science has named the winners in its Best of What's New awards, the victors coming in the categories of aerospace, automotive, engineering, entertainment, gadgets, green, hardware, health, home, recreation, security and software. The automotive category did not go wanting for lauded advancements:
Tesla Model S: the Grand Award winner for being "the standard by which all future electric vehicles will be measured."
BMW 328i: it's 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gets called out for being more powerful and frugal than the six-cylinder it replaces.
Car technology I'm thankful and unthankful for
Mon, Nov 27 2017The past few years have seen a surge of tech features in new vehicles — everything from cloud-based content to semi-autonomous driving. While some of it makes the driving experience better, not all tech is useful or well thought out. Automakers who are adept at drivetrains, ride quality and in-cabin comforts often fail at infotainment interfaces and connectivity. From testing dozens of vehicles each year and in the spirit of gratitude, here are three car tech features I'm thankful — and a trio I could live without. Thanks Connected search: This seems like a no-brainer since everyone already has it on their smartphones, but not all automakers include it in the dashboard and as part of their nav systems. The best ones, such as Toyota Entune, leverage a driver's connected device to search for a range of services and don't charge a subscription or require a separate data plan for the car. I also like how systems like Chrysler Uconnect use Yelp or other apps to find everything from coffee to gas stations and allow searching via voice recognition. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto: It took two of the largest tech companies to get in-dash infotainment right. While they have their disadvantages (you're forced to use Apple Maps with CarPlay, for example), the two smartphone-integration platforms make it easier and safer to use their respective native apps for phoning, messaging, music and more behind the wheel by transferring a familiar UI to the dashboard — with no subscription required. Heated seats and steering wheels: I really appreciate these simple but pleasant features come wintertime. It's easy to get spoiled by bun-warmers on frosty mornings and using a heated steering wheel to warm the cold hands. I recently tested a 2018 Mercedes-Benz E400 Coupe that also had heated armrest that added to a cozy luxury experience. Bonus points for brands like Buick that allow setting seat heaters to turn on when the engine is remotely started. No thanks Automaker infotainment systems: Automakers have probably poured millions into creating their own infotainment systems, with the result largely being frustration on the part of most car owners. And Apple CarPlay and Android Auto coming along to make them obsolete. While some automaker systems, such as Toyota Entune and FCA's Uconnect, are easy and intuitive to use, it seems that high-end systems (I'm looking at you BMW iDrive and Mercedes-Benz COMAND) are the most difficult.
