1984 Mercedes-benz 300d Base Sedan 4-door 3.0l on 2040-cars
Metamora, Illinois, United States
|
1984 Mercedes-Benz 300 D Body has significant rust underneath. Both rear control arms are rusted. The right side is nearly broken and thus the car should not be driven for any great distance. This car has been my daily driver for 5 years and I have enjoyed it very much, but the rust has gotten the better of it and I have no time to or interest in fixing the control arms. It was a midwest car from day one, so the salt as taken its toll. The OM 617 Engine runs fine. Radiator was replaced when I bought the car. Transmission is good, but has the flare between 2 and 3. I believe that can be remedied with a valve kit. It never was very bad so I never bothered with it. The prop shaft and joints are fine. Rear end is fine and the cv shafts were replaced with Chinese replacements a few years back. No problems with those. The 4 Bunt rims are not bent. There is a chrome bunt spare as well. Snow tires are on the rear wheels. Decent Pirrelli tires are on the front and the other 2 will come with the car. All glass is good. Dash and driver's seat are cracked. Climate control works. Brakes are good. Rear window sashes are rusted so the motors are unhooked. Front windows work fine. Becker stereo still works, antenna is shot. Unsure if tape deck works. Cruise works when it feels like it. This would be a good investment for the parts. Or if you wanted to put control arms on it and keep ahead of the other rust, the car could live on. I hate to just throw all these good parts away for scrap. Good clean title in hand.

Anything you want to know just ask. Pictures can be mailed to you. |

Consumer Reports declares most and least loved cars [w/video]
Wed, Dec 3 2014Consumer Reports is crunching the numbers from its annual owner-satisfaction survey, and part of that process is finding out how attached drivers are to their cars. CR simply asks readers of models up to three years old if they would buy the same vehicle again in light of their entire ownership experience, and tallies the results. After looking at the responses for about 350,000 vehicles, it turns out that people really love a certain California-built, electrically powered luxury sedan. That's right, this year's the overall winner was the Tesla Model S with a whopping 98 percent of owners saying they would purchase another one (the Model S also won this award last year, with 99 percent satisfaction). The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray came in a close second with 95 percent of drivers hoping to park another one in their garage. A few models weren't quite so favored, though. The Nissan Versa Sedan was the least loved model among its owners; a mere 42 percent said that they would purchase another. The aging Jeep Compass didn't do much better, with just 43 percent of drivers willing to buy the softroader again. On average, about 70 percent of owners say they would buy their car again, and only four cars ranked below 50 percent in CR's findings. Check out the video above to see some of the winners and losers in a few of CR's categories. If you're a subscriber, you can check out the full list on its website.

Aston or Bust? Maybach's fate to be decided next month
Mon, 13 Jun 20112011 Maybach 62 - Click above for high-res image gallery
What will become of Maybach? That question has been rattling around the halls of Daimler headquarters in Stuttgart for some time now. But all questions will be answered, and answered soon: according to reports, the German automaker is currently evaluating prototypes and propositions for its top-end marque, and will make its decision next month.
So, what are the options? On the one hand, Daimler could kill the Maybach brand altogether. It was a notion ill conceived and even more poorly executed, taking an old platform and building a new flagship atop it. In that way, it was sort of like the Chrysler Crossfire, only far more costly to both the buyer and manufacturer. On the other hand, Daimler could opt for the long-time-coming proposition of contracting the production (and possibly much of the development) of a new generation of Maybachs to Aston Martin.
EVO "2012 Car of the Year: The Track Battles" is a sports car salmagundi
Sun, 25 Nov 2012EVO has come out with another gotta-watch-it video, throwing its 2012 Car of the Year contestants around the UK's 1.5-mile Blyton Park track. It's actually a 15-minute teaser for the full-length DVD detailing the magazine's Car of the Year selection, but the tease is worth every penny free second.
Tiff Needell and sports car racer Richard Meaden handle the wheel duties, the two driving five pairs of sports cars: Lotus Exige S vs. Porsche Boxster S, Morgan Three-Wheeler vs. Toyota GT86, BMW M135i vs. Porsche 911, Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series vs. Alpina B3 GT3, the marquee event pits the McLaren MP4-12C vs. the Pagani Huayra. After a head-to-head lap with commentary during drifts, Meaden takes each car out to set a representative lap time.
You'll find the verdicts, lots of tire smoke, and lines like "Anything you can do sideways I can do sideways" in the video below.
