1985 Mercedes Benz 300td Wagon W123 'dan In Real Life' Steve Carell Movie on 2040-cars
Walpole, Massachusetts, United States
|
Welcome to my auction. I've owned many of these model 123 Turbo Diesels, and purchased this car a last month, with the intent to resell. This is a no reserve auction. My trusted mechanic has worked on this car while owned by the previous owner, and I bought it based on his good overall opinion of this car. My ideal winning bidder will have watched the many Mercedes Repair videos by MercedesSource.com on YouTube. It is the best source of Mercedes mechanical help, and will prepare the winning bidder about how to buy and care for this Mercedes. The car starts easily, runs and drives well. It needs drivers side rocker panel repair/welding/patching (behind front drivers side wheel) and drivers seat floor area repair. Please know this before making an offer or bidding. I have a 2 body molding pieces that are off the car on the lower passenger side. I was told from the previous owner that 5 years ago the odometer worked/didn't work. I'm selling this as true miles unknown. The Title and Bill of Sale is ready to be signed over to the winning bidder from the previous owner. The a/c compressor is fairly new however the a/c system is not operative. The interior vent fan works only in defrost. It has a manual sunroof. The heat works with no odd smells. The vacuum lines look good however are untested with the door locks and other functions. The rear hatch isn't opening, and needs fixing. I have not gone thru this car to report if all the windows work or not. I know all the exterior lights work. The grill should be replaced as I put on the current one from my spare collection. Note some of the Google pictures show the original grill. The previous owner wanted to keep the clean grill, since they had owned the car since 1994 till recently, and were attached to this car :( The air filter housing needs fixing and it currently can rattle (common issue). Mercedessource sells a repair kit. There is a 3rd seat in the trunk however I have not opened it all the way to inspect. The tires are in very good condition. The shocks are average. The brakes are good. I have an extra rear bumper that is available for sale for $200 extra should the winning bidder wish to purchase, and also the stock rims for $200 additional. The car starts easily, with no excess smoke or noises. See my other auction thru Sunday for a 1983 300CD .
I'm letting the many photos speak for the car. Here's a link for many photos (again remember the nice grill is gone, so look for the old grill which is currently on the car).
Thanks and happy bidding.

Rare Isdera Imperator 108i flexes its considerable muscles
Mon, 05 Aug 2013The Isdera Imperator 108i is a remarkably rare supercar from the late 80s and early 90s. Born of a Mercedes-Benz concept car, it's powered by a range of AMG-developed V8s, with five to six liters of displacement, depending on the engine. The example shown here, lapping the legendary Spa-Francorchamps circuit, features the most potent 6.0-liter V8 available. And rather than just being driven about on a perfectly clean racing line, it's freaking power sliding!
Yes, there's something eternally childlike about a wedge-shaped supercar from our formative years being flung about a Belgian racetrack. Adding to the appeal is the Imperator's stumpy, periscopic rear mirror, sticking out of the roof. Even after being out of production for 20 years, this is still a wild, wild car and we'd happily snap up the opportunity pilot one of the 36 Isderas that were built. Take a look below for the full video from Spa.
Mercedes Alabama ops ordered to allow workers to discuss unionization
Wed, Dec 3 2014A decision last week by the National Labor Relations Board has bolstered the efforts of the United Auto Workers at Mercedes-Benz's Tuscaloosa, AL factory, as the union continues its attempts to represent the factory's workers. According to Reuters, the NLRB ruled that Mercedes-Benz US International, the proper name of the company behind the Tuscaloosa factory, can no longer prevent workers from discussing unionization in work areas while off the clock. While MBUSI maintains that it's not taking a side on unionization and that it wants the "the decision left to our team members," the UAW is still arguing that the US facility should take the same position on unions that the rest the world's Mercedes-Benz plants take and. Speaking to Reuters, the UAW says that stance "acknowledges the human right to form trade unions" and "respects the right of collective bargaining." According to Reuters, the Alabama factory employs 3,500 workers – 2,500 full time and 1,000 "temporary" – and is the only Daimler-owned factory on the planet not to offer employees the opportunity for representation. Presently, the Tuscaloosa facility assembles Mercedes' C-Class, GL-Class and M-Class vehicles.
2014 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Edition 507 still lights our fire
Wed, 06 Mar 2013The current Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG may be in the autumn of its years, but it's still one of our very favorite sport sedans. Ever. Yes, its paddle-shift transmission may not always follow orders, but with stupendous levels of thrust from its charismatic naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8, ebullient rear-wheel-drive dynamics and that noise, we frankly don't care that it's getting on a bit.
As a sendoff of sorts for the current generation, Mercedes-Benz has just introduced a new Edition 507 model at the Geneva Motor Show, with 507 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque - an increase of 56 horses over the standard car. Mercedes credits the substitution of low-mass internals from the SLS AMG gullwing for the power bump, a tactic shared with the AMG Development Package upgrade that has been subsumed by this Edition 507. 0-60 is quoted at 4.1 seconds and top speed at 174 mph.
The Edition 507 borrows its aluminum hood from the C63 AMG Black Series Coupe, along with spidery new 19-inch wheels in either titanium gray finish or matte black with shiny rim flanges. As seen on our gallery car above, a sports striping package is also featured, as are glossy black grille, daytime running lamps, spoiler and mirror caps.
