1985 Mercedes Benz 300TD. Turbo Diesel
Cold A/C-----Auto Transmission-----CD Player-----Power Windows/Locks/Antenna-----Working Sunroof-----167k miles-----Working Clock-----Cruise Control
LAST YEAR OF W123 Body= makes this the most desired year.
Low Miles These vehicles are seen with 1/2 a million miles or more. This is just broke in at 167,000.
Mechanically This has been gone through and is in EXCELLENT working order. I have driven this on road trips without any worries and would have no fear taking this across country. I change the oil every 3 months or 3k miles and although I check the oil regularly I never have to add between changes.
Mechanical Items Addressed
Numerous gaskets replaced (valve cover, transmission pan, oil pan, turbo oil lines, and more I don't remember), valves adjusted, as well as the A/C system serviced, brake job (raybestos pads and rotors turned less than 100 miles ago), radiator serviced with a cleaning and new antifreeze, new power antenna (goes up and down with original button on dash), sunroof gear replaced and system lubricated, all filters (oil, fuel, air) vacuum system serviced (fixed all leaks to ensure the power locks go up and down long after the car has been shut off), CD player/Radio, alternator rebuilt, and much more that I have forgotten. Whatever it needed I always had an open checkbook and took care of it every checkup (I had the mechanic go though it every 3 months).
Body and Interior-are in EXCELLENT Condition. The exterior has two rock chips, and the paint is new high quality dupont polyurethane (same stuff they use in the Kenworth Factory). Paint Job cost alone is practically what I am asking for the vehicle. The glass is in great condition, the windshield has a very small rock chip that is hardly seen and if repaired couldn't be seen. Interior Leather/Vinyl appears to be original and in good condition. The drivers seat has 2 small areas where the leather Split (each one is approx 2" they actually aren't very visable). The power windows all go up and down quickly. The Windows in the back make a clicking sound when they reach the top and the bottom but open and close as they should. The speedometer and odometer funcion properly and although the trip odometer works it doesn't reset to zero (I haven't checked if something is loose?). The tachometer works about 50% of the time (mechanic suggested that a connecter may need to be soldered). Below the rear window there is NO rust (a common problem for these, this may be due to being in california). The A/C works great and comes out of the vents on the far ends of the dash and out of the defrost vents (for some reason it doesn't come out the center vents-could be a fuse but cools the car well), fan blows well.
Fuel Economy for me has been between 26 mpg city and 33 mpg highway, with the turbo this the diesel has excellent power. I have a w210 mercedes diesel that is about 10 years newer and drives much better.
I love this car and would love to keep it forever but due to a future move I will no longer have garage space for her and she needs to find a good home. I have many more pictures and if you have any particular areas you would like pictures of let me know.

Mercedes investing $500 million for new Sprinter plant in SC
Tue, Mar 10 2015The commercial van segment is exploding in popularity in the US right now with a vast array of recent products from multiple marques, and there's even more on the way from automakers like Hyundai. Mercedes-Benz is trying to grab a bigger share of the expanding market, too, and is launching its smaller Metris here in the fall. Now comes word that Mercedes will construct a $500-million factory in Charleston, SC, that will build the next-gen Sprinter domestically. According to Mercedes, construction of the new plant will begin in 2016, and when complete, the site will cover around 200 acres, including a body shop, paint shop and assembly line. It will also employ 1,300 people who will be building Sprinters badged as both Mercedes and Freightliner models. Rumors about this new construction go back to late last year. Mercedes currently has to ship some partially disassembled Sprinters into the US from Germany, paying import duties on them, and then the company puts the vans back together at a site in Ladson, SC. The process obviously adds costs to the models, and the domestic factory should mean a more price-competitive vehicle. Plus, a local factory means quicker deliveries to dealers. Despite the laborious import process, the Sprinter is a hit in the US. Mercedes sold 25,745 of them in 2014, which made the country the van's second-largest market behind Germany. They were first launched here in 2001 and since then have gained a nine-percent market share in the segment, according to the company. Mercedes is on a construction boom at the moment. The company is building a new corporate headquarters for the US in Atlanta, GA, due to be complete in 2018. The German brand is also investing $2.4 billion to expand its Tuscaloosa, AL, factory to build models like the forthcoming GLE-Class. MERCEDES-BENZ VANS TO INVEST AROUND $500 MILLION IN NEW VAN PLANT IN SOUTH CAROLINA, U.S. 09/03/15 from Mercedes-Benz New plant to be built in Charleston, South Carolina, beginning in 2016 Next generation Sprinter also to be manufactured in the U.S. Expansion of the global production network as part of the "Mercedes-Benz Vans goes global" growth strategy Creation of more than 1,300 new jobs planned Volker Mornhinweg: "We are investing around half a billion dollars to create a top-notch Mercedes-Benz van plant here in South Carolina.
Mercedes-AMG teases 2016 C63 Coupe [w/video]
Fri, Jul 10 2015Mercedes-AMG says it has "something fast" on the way. We now know it's the C63 Coupe, which will be unveiled to the world at the Frankfurt Motor Show this September. The carmaker teased its hot new two-door on Facebook, with a series of elusive photos showing a camouflaged C63 at the track. Something fast, indeed. We just drove the 2015 Mercedes-AMG C63 S sedan and found it to be absolutely wonderful. It's no slouch, either – the four-door will run 0-60 in under four seconds. We expect the same from the upcoming coupe, thanks to the incredibly powerful, 4.0-liter, twin-turbo V8 under the hood. The C63 sedan produces 503 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque in S guise. The coupe should do the same. The AMG C63 will debut with the rest of the C-Class Coupe range at the Frankfurt show, or possibly even a bit earlier. We can't wait.

Aston Martin tipped for F1 return with Red Bull, Mercedes
Mon, Jul 6 2015Aston Martin could be plotting a return to Formula One for the first time in over half a century. And not as a backmarker, either. That is, at least, if the latest rumors materialize. While most automakers that participate in F1 do so as either a team owner (like Ferrari and Mercedes) or as an engine supplier (think Renault or Honda), the rumored Aston Martin deal would take a different approach. According to Autosport, the proposal would have the Red Bull Racing team run Aston Martin branding – but not its engines. Those would be provided by Mercedes, just like the engines in the British marque's upcoming slate of road cars. In that regard, the deal would not be unlike the one which Red Bull currently has with the Renault-Nissan Alliance, which sees the team running Renault engines and Infiniti branding. Andy Palmer was a pivotal figure in brokering that unusual arrangement when he was working for Carlos Ghosn, and is now tipped to be brokering a similar deal in his new capacity as Aston Martin's CEO. Though Aston has found glory in sports car racing (including Le Mans and its various associated series), it was never much of a contender in grand prix racing. It competed in a handful of races in 1959 and 1960, but never achieved results worth bragging about. Aston was rumored to be plotting a return when David Richards sat as chairman of the company, having run Aston's racing program as well as Honda's F1 team previously. Those rumors, however, never materialized. Whether this time 'round gains any traction remains to be seen - Aston Martin declined to either confirm or deny the reports when reached for comment by Autoblog. Red Bull has been growing increasingly dissatisfied (and increasingly vocal about its dissatisfaction) with Renault engines over the past couple of seasons. Though the two parties won four back-to-back world titles together, things took a noticeable step backward after the new turbo engine regulations took hold for the 2014 season. Nissan/Infiniti and Red Bull are contracted to continue collaborating until the end of next season. After that is when the new Aston deal could take hold, and Mercedes is reportedly keen on the idea so that it could add another customer to its F1 engine supply business and offset the costs of development. That could effectively prove the end of Renault in F1 (at least for the time being). Aside from Red Bull, the French automaker currently supplies only that outfit's sister team Toro Rosso.
