1984 Mercedes-benz 300sd Base Sedan 4-door 3.0l on 2040-cars
Gainesville, Virginia, United States
|
For sale is my 1984 300SD. I am selling it because it can no longer pass inspection due to rust issues. HOWEVER this car has several new or recently replaced parts making it a great parts car, and if you have the ability to get it passed in VA or whatever state you're in, it will be a good car to drive.
The odometer broke at 288,000 miles, and I have put 45,000 miles on it since then, driving to/from my vanpool pickup location and short trips around town for the last 3 years. Prior to that I used it to get to/from school in Atlanta, GA, and also for work-related trips to Chattanooga, TN, Wilmington, NC, and Columbia, SC. The engine and transmission are original, and I have maintenance records from the previous owner, but all maintenance after I purchased the car in 2009 was done by myself, with receipts for big items and oil done every 6 months or 5000 miles whichever came first. List of new and/or recently replaced parts: AC Compressor @ 243,000 miles ($450 new) Brake Booster and Master Cylinder @ 275,000 miles ($310 new) Vaccuum Pump @ 250,000 miles ($360 new) Blower Motor and Heat Pump @265,000 miles ($300 new) Oil Cooler and Hoses @ 279,000 miles ($1000 new) Alternator @ 285,000 miles ($150 new) Air Filter Bracket @ 290,000 miles ($50 new) Belt Tensioner Bolt @ 300,000 miles ($100 new) Driver's Side Motor Mount and Engine Shock @ 305,000 miles ($100 new) Shutoff Valve @ 315,000 miles ($100 new) Driver's Side Lens Cover @320,000 miles ($50 new) Headlight Assembly Driver's Side @ 320,000 miles ($75 new) Unused/Unisintalled Parts included in sale: (These are new parts that I simply will not use) 2 Flex Discs, with nuts and bolts ($100 new) Drive Shaft Support Bearing ($50 new) Drive Shaft Support ($75 new) Passenger Side Motor Mount and Shock ($100 new) Assortment of Filters ($75) Real Tire and Wheel with Mercedes Hubcap as spare ($100) Brake Pads ($75-100) I really do NOT want to get rid of this car, but would happily give it to an enthusiast who would use it as an "organ donor" of sorts or even drive it himself/herself if you can get it to pass inspection. The rust is a real issue. Problems with car: 1) Rust 2) Exhaust needs to be hung by wires. The brackets and rubber exhaust hangers no longer support the exhaust. 3) The car's acceleration is bad even for this make/model. I think the engine and turbo simply need a good cleaning, but it takes a significant amount of time to get to cruising speed. It's not a safety issue. If you are local (within 30 miles) I will help arrange for transporting the car to your location. The parts only go with the car. I will not sell the parts without the car. |

Automakers face reality of EVs' cost — to jobs, and their bottom line
Tue, Sep 12 2017Related: We obsessively covered the Frankfurt Motor Show — here's our complete coverage FRANKFURT, Germany — European car bosses gathering for the Frankfurt auto show are beginning to address the realities of mass vehicle electrification, and its consequences for jobs and profit, their minds focused by government pledges to outlaw the combustion engine. As the latest such announcement by China added momentum to a push for zero-emissions motoring, Daimler, Volkswagen and PSA Group gave details about their electric programs that could give policymakers some pause. Planned electric Mercedes models will initially be just half as profitable as conventional alternatives, Daimler warned — forcing the group to find savings by outsourcing more component manufacturing, which may in turn threaten German jobs. "In-house production is almost irrelevant to the consumer," Daimler boss Dieter Zetsche told reporters on the eve of the Frankfurt Motor Show, in the midst of a German election campaign in which automotive jobs have loomed large. The company set a target of saving 4 billion euros ($4.8 billion) by 2025 to help fund the cost of its electric cars. "Daimler is the first company to state explicitly how much electric vehicles are going to hurt margins," said Bernstein analyst Max Warburton. "It was brave to go first — but of course it won't be the last." Volkswagen, for its part, said it was seeking new global supplier contracts to source 50 billion euros ($60 billion) of electric car content including batteries, which are not yet manufactured competitively in Europe. "A company like Volkswagen must lead, not follow," Chief Executive Matthias Mueller told reporters. VW diesel emissions-cheating exposed by U.S. regulators in 2015 triggered global public outrage, dozens more investigations into test-rigging by the wider industry and a push by some lawmakers to ban diesel and eventually all engines. TIGHTENING NOOSE Tesla shares jumped nearly 6 percent on Monday after a Chinese minister said it was a question of when, not if, Beijing bans fossil-fuel cars, tightening the noose around the combustion engine. France and Britain have promised its outright abolition by 2040. But PSA, the maker of Peugeots and Citroens, said it was concerned about the risks if consumers were left behind in the rush, and a new generation of battery cars does not sell.

Mercedes-AMG considering turbo fours, hybrid sixes for future performance sedans
Tue, 29 Apr 2014Think of the letters AMG and you'll probably end up picturing a performance sedan with a big V8. Such has become, after all, the Mercedes turning division's calling card. But with the introduction of its 2.0-liter turbo four, AMG is working at turning that notion on its head.
The highly potent engine produces 355 horsepower and is presently installed in the A45 AMG hatchback, CLA45 AMG sedan and GLA45 AMG crossover, giving Benz's smallest family a full range of performance models. But that might not be the full extent of the high-strung four-pot's use.
Speaking with AMG boss Tobias Moers, Britain's What Car? magazine reports that Affalterbach is considering slotting the same engine into larger models, particularly performance sedans like the C-Class. As we recently reported, Mercedes is already preparing to up the power from the turbo V6 in the C400 to slot a C450 Sport in below the C63 AMG. The C450 is expected to offer around 367 horsepower where the CLA45 AMG et al pack 355, but the lighter weight of the four-cylinder engine would likely offset the truancy of those extra dozen horses. Of course such a prospect would be much further down the pipeline than the C450 Sport which is expected to arrive much sooner.
