Great 1984 Mercedes 300d-t sedan for sale!!!

Champagne/Palominio color combo. (473 paint code)

Repainted and all body work done in last 9 months. Not a stractch, dent or nick on it. Been under carport under a cover or in storage when not used!

I have decided to sell some cars because we simply are running out of room (have 8 currently). The only reason i decided to sell this car is that id like a bit more variety in my collection since i have many 4-door sedans. I bought this car last summer from a very nice couple who kept it in storage but didnt drive it much. It needed some TLC so i spent a few months bringing this car up to where it deserved to be. Ive had 4 of these and i love fixing them up and driving them. Before i bought the car i have a reciept for work done to the front end, motor and transmission mounts, drive belts and hoses, ball joints and shift linkage bushings. I have since had done or performed myself the following:

New front and rear shocks and alignment

New battery and alternator (denso)

Repair dent on trunk, passenger rear door, drivers quarter panel, passenger bottom right fender (under bumper), repaint original color paint code 473. Car was hand buffed a month later and will be prior to sale again. New dual color pinstripe (brown/beige)

Vacuum check valve for engine shut off , new molded dashboard cover, replaced vacuum hoses inside dashboard. Replaced dashboard woodgrain pieces as needed.

New window swtiches for console.

New kenwood CD player. All new bulbs for dashboard. Replaced door lock striker for passenger door.

New fog light bulbs and lenses. Newer headlight surrounds (have a couple small stone ships on each).

Replaced the passenger side rear tailight (was cracked).

New dealer Mercedes floormats.

Oil and filter changed with Shell Rotella 15w-40. The power steering fluid was changed and with a new filter.

Air cleaner bushings were replaced.

This car starts, runs, drives and stops like it is supposed too. No surprizes! The glow plugs were changed by the previous owner only a couple of thousand miles ago. The engine has great compression and the turbocharger works well with no whining sounds. Transmission performs normal. These are the best engines ever fitted into a passenger car, but im assuming you already know this if youre reading this ad! The tires all match, hold air great and have 65% tread left. When the engine is turns off it shuts off immediately. It will leak on occasion a couple small drips after it is turned off. Sometimes not at all. All lights work, all gauges work (even the small clock under the tach), all windows work, the central locking system works, interior lights, sunroof, climate control works correctly and blows out of the center two vents. I drove the car to houston and back last spring and the cruise control worked. I have not used it since then but i will check again when im on the freeway. The power antenna does not work strangely but im fairly certain its only the motor. Its hooked up the back of the new stereo and doesn't blow fuses. The motor is easily changed from inside the trunk. I listen to CD's mostly but the radio will still recieve reception with the mast down. Your choice to replace. The A/C compressor never had a belt on it when i bought it, so i have no idea if the A/C will blow cold. Does not blow cold currently. The seats are in very good shape with no rips or cuts. MB-tex can last forever if not abused! The headliner also very good with a small tear (1 inch) coming out of the rear courtisey light. The door panels great with only some discoloration on the rear passenger armrest (maybe a window left cracked open and rain stained it. The piping around some of the door fabric has also come loose. The interior an 8/10. The exterior id also say an 8/10. Paint shines great, bumpers good (aera where two small bumper stickers have been taken off shows a difference), all trim and emblems there and in great shape! The rims are in good shape i feel they should be re-dipped however since they show wear. Doing this would really make this a headturner. Doors all slam with that old mercedes thunk that you'd expect. I own a 2000 E320 and the doors sound nothing like the way these close. The last of the best from mercedes-benz. My favorite cars as well. Ask one that has owned one! I have discribed this car as best as i know how and all its shortcomings because i buy cars here too and hate to be rudely surprized. However, i encourage you to ask questions no matter how big or small. I will be checking my e-mails daily and will offer a prompt response. This is a nice car and have put a reserve on it, but is very reasonable. Good luck!

I dont know why the autocheck puts on here an odometer discreptancy. All the date and mileage intervals line up in sequence. Just like carfax reports i feel they are worthless in many cases!  I have the original owners manual with all of the first oil changes listed and have the dealer plate that shows build date and purchase date. All of my records that i have will go with the new owner. Thanks!

Geely chairman is now the single biggest investor in Daimler

Fri, Feb 23 2018

Li Shufu, the chairman and main owner of Chinese carmaker Geely, has built a stake of 9.69 percent in Daimler AG, the German carmaker said in a regulatory filing on Friday. The stake, worth nearly $9 billion at the current valuation for Daimler shares, makes Li the biggest single shareholder in the maker of Mercedes-Benz cars, trucks and vans headquartered in the German city of Stuttgart. A Daimler spokesman called the stake purchase a private investment by Li. "We are delighted, with Li Shufu, to have won over another long-term investor who is convinced of Daimler's innovative prowess, strategy and future potential," the spokesman said in response to a request for comment. "Daimler knows and respects Li Shufu as a Chinese entrepreneur of particular competence and forward thinking." Li's stake purchase makes him the top shareholder in Daimler ahead of the Kuwait Investment Authority, which owned 6.8 percent as of Sept. 30, according to Thomson Reuters data. Earlier this month, the German newspaper Bild am Sonntag reported that the Chinese industry giant was seeking to become Daimler's biggest shareholder, likely exceeding the 6.8-percent stake of the Kuwait Investment Authority. The paper said Daimler had reportedly turned down Geely's $4.5 billion offer for a 5-percent stake via a discounted share placement, saying that Geely could buy shares in the open market. Institutional investors currently own 70.7 percent of Daimler, and the company already has strong ties to Chinese automakers BAIC and BYD. Bild am Sonntag said the move was intended as a strategic alliance against Apple, Google and Amazon on autonomous and connected cars. And Reuters reported that Daimler wants to have bespoke "robo taxis" on the road quicker than Google's Waymo, and views Geely as a strong partner for that. Geely conversely is interested in Daimler's electric car battery technology, and sources quoted by the German paper say there are plans to establish joint electric car manufacturing in Wuhan, China, to meet China's smog-reducing quotas. Geely is developing the Lynk & Co. brand of electric and hybrid cars. Geely owns Volvo, which has enjoyed a renaissance under the arrangement, as well as the maker of London's black cabs. In December, it bought a stake in AB Volvo, the maker of Volvo trucks.

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.

Edmunds ranks the best used cars for 2013

Sun, 15 Sep 2013

When people ask us what car we would recommend for them, it's usually not easy to answer. To make a useful recommendation we must consider which of the numerous vehicle segments fits their needs best, and then choose one of the many vehicles offered in each segment. For some people, new cars don't meet their expectations of value, because they lose so much of it the moment they are purchased and driven off the dealer lot. For them, there's always the used-car market, where great deals can be found, but cars' histories of reliability and maintenance records - and perhaps that Certified Pre-Owned warranty - become ever-important factors playing into purchase choice.
To help out, Edmunds has done us the favor of assembling a list of the best used vehicles money can buy, covering model years 2006-2011, according to what it considers the most important criteria when shopping for used autos: reliability, safety, value and availability. That means unreliable, unsafe, super-expensive or limited-edition models don't appear on the list, but instead cars from each segment that are more likely to satisfy the general population.
There are some real goodies on the list, including but not limited to vehicles such as the capable Honda Fit, the cultish Honda Accord coupe (which can be had with a 240-horsepower V6 and a six-speed manual transmission some years), and the powerful Chevrolet Corvette. While Edmunds' choice of the Volvo C70 for best used convertible baffled us at first (not that it's a bad car), it redeemed itself by stating that the Mazda MX-5 still is an unofficial top choice if you don't require more than two seats.
