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. |

2014 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG rumbles on stage 4Matic style
Mon, 14 Jan 2013Bruce Hornsby and his soothing piano skills helped introduce us to the 2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class, but the monstrous E63 AMG sedan needed no entrance music as it rumbled on stage. The 550-horsepower (and up) sedan sat proudly alongside the rest of the redesigned E-Class on stage at the Detroit Auto Show, but stood miles apart in intention and execution.
In addition to a choice of sedan and wagon body styles, the E63 AMG will also offer buyers the choice of the standard 550 hp or an upgraded 577-hp S-Model; regardless of output, all 2014 E63 AMG models will come standard with the 4Matic all-wheel-drive system.
We already saw the E63 AMG's aggressive styling last week, but now we have a full assortment of live images for you to enjoy as well as the Mercedes-Benz press release, which is also posted below.
Daimler employees can set email to auto-delete during vacation
Mon, 18 Aug 2014The Internet has shrunk the world in terms of the way people communicate by making it possible to send an email from Oslo and have it show up in Cleveland almost immediately. But that instant contact has wrecked the work/life balance for many. They get home from a long day at the office, yet they can never fully put their feet up and relax because another hour or more of checking and replying to emails awaits. However, German automotive giant Daimler is putting an end to that churn, at least while its employees are on vacation.
About 100,000 Daimler employees in Germany are eligible to opt-in to a new program called Mail on Holiday, according to The Atlantic. When the workers go on vacation, they can switch it on, and the service auto-deletes all of their incoming email. "Our employees should relax on holiday and not read work-related emails," said Wilfried Porth, board member for human resources, to The Financial Times as cited by The Atlantic.
Mail on Holiday puts a thumb on the scale of work/life balance in favor of a little more free time. The system means that Daimler employees shouldn't even be tempted to check their email on vacation because there's nothing there - and it also avoids them coming back from a relaxing holiday only to find a mailbox packed full of hundreds of unread messages. These days, people are absolutely obsessed with their work, often to the detriment of their health, not to mention spending time with their families and friends. On one hand, Mail on Holiday sounds like the sort of vacation breakthrough we'd need to truly unplug and unwind, but on the other hand, it makes our skin crawl just thinking about the lack of communication.

Mercedes-Benz GLA Concept gets mobbed in China
Sat, 20 Apr 2013If the reception it received at the Shanghai Motor Show is any judge of marketplace acceptance, Mercedes-Benz has a hit on its hands in the form of the GLA Concept. And we can understand why - we're quickly becoming fans of Mercedes' recent styling language, as defined by new models like the CLA and this GLA Concept.
The big news on the exterior front are the headlamp clusters, which have frickin' laser beams attached to their foreheads embedded inside that are capable of projecting videos and images on a screen. Plus, a pair of video cameras are mounted on the roof that can be used to capture driving excitement or removed and taken with you. How cool is that? We just hope they have a substantial locking mechanism to prevent would-be thievery...
If the exterior is mostly ready for production, with a few of the more outlandish elements moved to the trash bin - like, for instance, laser-beam headlamps and removable action cams - the interior is a true custom job that screams concept loud and clear. There are all kinds of jewel-like finishes inside, along with transparent surfaces showing what looks like metal latticework underneath and some awfully thick looking leather with massive exterior stitching done by hand similar to what you'd find on a baseball glove.
