A Class Act… Man, what a ride!

You know that timing is everything!

If you stumbled upon this auction, then this may be your lucky day. Are you looking for a reliable car with looks that will last?

Where are you going to find a solid car with classic looks, unrivaled reliability, economy, style and class?

Well, today I am offering, a 1984 Mercedes-Benz 300D 4dr Sedan 5-cyl. 2998cc/123hp Turbo-diesel Fuel Injection. You can enjoy this car, have it several years, sell it and get your money back. Cheap Thrills!

The only reason that I am offering her is because I’ve bought another one, in Lapis Blue. Actually this Dark Blue 1984, drives better but has more miles and its interior is better. Yet, I prefer the color of the 1985.

 “Mercedes built the car to last, and many are still on the road today. As a testament to the car’s longevity, it is popular in Africa as a bush taxi, covering thousands of miles of rough roads with only basic maintenance. The 3.0-liter inline 5 diesel in the 300D, while lacking in power, is considered to be one of the most reliable engines ever built. The timeless design is sure to last as long as the car itself, making this car a classic that is here to stay.” (Hagerty, 1984 300D Turbo-Diesel, 2014).

Why buy this one!

1. I got this car from my friend who happens to be a Mercedes Diesel expert. Pete goes over all of these cars before buying them and drives the kinks out of them, then fixes and tunes them to its optimal performance. Some he has kept, this is one of them that he sold to me. It has been vacuum tuned and runs quicker than all of them.  All of the fluids, oils and filter have been replaced or checked and/or changed and will be checked again prior to purchase.

2. Stringent Virginia State Inspection has just been completed. You don’t get a sticker in Virginia unless the brakes, lights, steering, horn, windows and more are acceptable for the road. 

3. None of these cars are exactly alike in how they perform and drive. Do not let the mileage fool you because this one drives smoother, tighter and quieter than previous ones that I’ve owned. Reliability is an understatement. This one, none of them ever let me down. I feel confident that this car will go anywhere.

Best part about this 300D is the way it moves on down the road.  She can be driven and driven and driven anywhere.

4. I believe that I have many of the records back from 1996 and vehicle history and title report appear to indicate this was either a one or two owner car and has been in the North Carolina and mostly Virginia most of its time.  Also, the records from 96 on indicate the car was serviced at Mercedes in Richmond, VA.

Other considerations for your purchasing decision:

-       Up in value

-       Hard to find

-       Well maintained with records

-       Primarily a one owner, southern car

-       No reported accidents or incidents

-       Stringent VA inspection just completed

-       Tuned up to perfection and gone over by a Mercedes Diesel Expert

-       Quicker, quieter and smoother than others previously owned

-       Dark Blue, very clean

-       Everything works to its optimal condition

-       Nice looking car and runs great

-             Tires good to very good

-             Drives 10

-            Brakes 10

-            Electric Sunroof 10

-            Windows 10 clear – front windshield slight ding on windshield

-             Seats, interior very good – drivers seat (see pic)

-            Seats could be lightly dusted as it is called to bring to perfection

-             Body – solid (slight rust noted drivers side rear, see pic)

Known Needs:

Air Conditioning – The system was replaced in 2001 and got the record. I purchased the car in the winter and did not concern myself with it. The air conditioning needs to get checked. 

According to Hagerty Ratings these cars keep increasing in value and I have adjusted the price considerably.

These cars are used for daily transportation but are ready for a long tour without excuses, and the casual passerby will not find any visual flaws. "Good" is the one word description of a Hagerty Price Guide #3.

2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class caught totally undisguised

Mon, 18 Mar 2013

Based on the lightly camouflaged spy shots of the 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class we've seen lately, it hasn't taken a vivid imagination to picture what the next iteration of this big luxury sedan will look like. Even so, we now we have our first unobstructed views of the redesigned S-Class, codenamed W222, as it has just been caught out flaunting for some promo shots.
The first thing we notice about the new S-Class design is the disappearance of the last generation's flared wheel arches. Yet the new design adds even more character with bodyside creases similar to the CLS-Class and some elements reminiscent of 2007's F700 Concept, including the massive grille and vertical LED taillights. Other key details include a large panoramic roof and the narrow exhaust outlets, but the large LED-trimmed headlights and the aggressive front fascia are probably the biggest departure from the current design. With these spy shots, we also catch a blurry shot of the interior, but we've seen a practically uncovered look at the new S-Class' cabin back in January.
Overall, the next S-Class sports an expressive and premium new look, but as far as all-new designs go, it's quite conservative - a move no doubt fitting for these lean financial times.

Mercedes Sprinter updated to take on Ford Transit, Ram ProMaster

Mon, 29 Apr 2013

By the end of this year, the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter will be the second-oldest nameplate in its segment here in the States, but with hot new competition waiting in the wings, Mercedes-Benz is giving its hauler a freshened look and more equipment to stave off rivals. The Sprinter was a pioneer in bringing Euro-style delivery vans to North America, and it's inspired others to transplant their Continental offerings, with the all-new Ford Transit and Ram Promaster models launching shortly. It will also continue to do battle with lower-cost traditional competitors like the Chevrolet Express and Ford E-Series.
The big Sprinter will thus get a new look to go with more safety features and available technology. While the information released here technically covers the Euro-spec 2013 Sprinter (which goes on sale in September), the US market is expected to get the new Sprinter for the 2014 model year with many of the same features. Some of this new technology includes a Crosswind Assist feature as standard equipment and the availability of Collision Prevention Assist and Blind Spot Assist as optional safety measures - Mercedes-Benz says that all three are firsts for any van in the world. Also added to the updated Sprinter is a new 1.8-liter supercharged gasoline (or CNG) engine producing 156 horsepower, which will complement the line of diesel engines that carry over and help make the Sprinter the first cargo van to meet the upcoming Euro VI emissions standards. Additionally, a lower ride height is said to improve fuel economy and should improve handling while aiding ingress and egress for both people and cargo.
In terms of styling, the Sprinter's new face also looks more like the current line of Mercedes-Benz passenger cars. This includes a more upright grille along with changes to the hood, headlights and bumper that lend it a closer kinship to models like the CLS-Class and the updated E-Class. The Sprinter will offer both halogen and HID headlights, while the latter will get LED running lamps and offer Highbeam Assist. The images shown here only reveal the exterior from front angles, but it looks like few, if any, changes have been made to the rear of the van. Interior upgrades include a thicker steering wheel, a new shift lever and the latest in audio, navigation and entertainment systems. Scroll down for the official press release for the new Mercedes-Benz Sprinter.
