 Good Day, I am selling my 1987 Mercedes benz 300 SDL luxury edition. A wise family member once told me that when you buy a used car you're not buying a car so much as you are buying the person selling it. Keeping that in mind I want to be as honest and forthcoming with the information provided in this listing as possible. I bought this vehicle from an acquaintance who bought it from a local dealer who bought it from an auction out here in Las Vegas. The car has passed through the hands of several owners. Being that this is easily a collector's car this is nothing out of the ordinary. I have a detailed background check through "auto-check" so you may see for yourself.

I have a clean and clear title in hand. The vehicle runs well. Everything works: powered locks, powered windows (except rear passenger window does not have power, may need a new mount , not a hard fix), motor controlled seat adjustment still works great, all lights work, and mirrors.

The engine is a 3 liter 6-cylinder diesel engine. My experience with these engines tell me they are true work horses and can virtually outlive the roads on which they drive. The car does need to be started in neutral if she is not warmed up , when warmed up she will start just fine from park (This is caused by the "neutral safety switch" which can easily be replaced, the part runs anywhere from $50-$75 new. This "DOES NOT" affect how she drives.)
 
She also has brand new tires installed. Original paint,  some oxidation on the roof and the hood but she still shines.The interior of the car could some tlc and work when it comes to the aesthetics , of which do not compromise the usability of the car. The glove box stays open as the latch needs to be repaired. The seats are a little cracked up, age has taken its toll on the center wood panel . Passenger seat will also need to be fixed as the left side of the seat has a broken weld allowing it to lean further back then it should when sitting in it. There is also a tear on the upper middle portion of the rear seats as well as a few on the lower portion of the rear seats.


Things to keep in mind when looking at this car. This is a collectible classic. Mercedes only produced 13,830 of these cars and were only in production for two years, 1986 and 1987. they were sold only in the U.S. and Canada. It was a luxurious vehicle that in its heyday off the lot would cost buyers $45,000-$50,000, and these were prices from 27 years ago.

What I tried to capture is  everything I would like to see if I was looking at this vehicle. I didn't spruce her up or try to make her look like anything she isn't. She could use a little wash and vacuuming. If there is anything else I could do for you please feel free to let me know, I am available to take more pictures and answer any of your questions.





Information to the auction winner:
Payment is due in full within 3 days of the auction's close. I would prefer to shake your hand and give you the keys, title, and bill of sale in person , however if you cant pick up the vehichle in person we can make arrangments . Once payment in full has been recieved If you are not able to make it down for me to hand you the the title and bill of sale in person I will send certified mail the title and a completed bill of sale ( of which you will still need to sign once it reaches you). All signatures on the bill of sale must be original. If you are able to make it to Las Vegas to pick the vehicle up I am not against going to the dmv with you to assure smooth transfer of ownership out of good faith. It will however be up to you to arrange pickup or the shipping of this vehicle.  I understand arrangements may need to be made so Im flexible on when you need to take her, Just dont leave me waiting a month for somebody to come and bring her home, as Im not a storage unit... Good luck and I am sure it will be a pleasure doing business with you.


On Mar-11-13 at 22:18:05 PDT, seller added the following information:

I would also like to add that I had a mechanic look it over before I bought it, you are welcome to do the same. Send me a message to set up the details if you would like to have somebody look at it or if you would like to see it yourself, I will check frequently. The car is sold as it is. Good luck to you all.

Race recap: 2015 Singapore Grand Prix full of odd sideshows

Mon, Sep 21 2015

What greeted the Formula One teams in Singapore? Confusion. The haze was so thick that observers wondered if the race would be held at all. Then practices began, and Mercedes-AMG Petronas driver Nico Rosberg took the first one, but the team fell away after that. Mercedes said it couldn't get the tires turned on, but no one believed the Silver Arrows was in genuine trouble. Then qualifying set the confusion in stone. Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel laid down the best time in Q3, taking the team's first pole position since Germany in 2012. Daniel Ricciardo got his Infiniti Red Bull Racing into second, about one tenth behind Vettel. (That may make the team feel better after Ricciardo publicly asked for a better engine than the current Renault unit, and team advisor Helmut Marko said the outfit will quit F1 at the end of this year if it can't get a stronger powerplant for 2016.) Kimi Raikkonen put the second Ferrari in third, Daniil Kvyat put the second Red Bull in fourth. And only then came the Meredes'. Lewis Hamilton's best got him fifth, the Brit saying, "We don't really know what we have got wrong. For some reason the tires are not working on the car. We do the warm-up the same as everyone else and then you see someone one second up the road." For added emphasis on the reversal of fortune, his time was 1.6 seconds behind Vettel's. Teammate Rosberg is next to him in sixth, a further half a second back. Williams is still a hurting a bit on slow tracks, so Valtteri Bottas could only get into seventh ahead of Max Verstappen in the Toro Rosso and teammate Felipe Massa in ninth. When the red lights went out, the 2015 Singapore Grand Prix would get both less interesting and more interesting all the way to the final lap. The men up front got good getaways, and the order into Turn 1 was Vettel, Ricciardo, and Raikkonen. The race finished with those three in that order, never having conceded position. Vettel's Ferrari enjoyed the track so much that he laid a second per lap into Ricciardo for the first five, then relaxed. He'd let the gap come down later in the race a couple of times, but any time he wanted to see what his mirrors looked like without anyone in them he'd take off again. Rosberg took fourth position after holding down sixth for the first stint. It looked like he'd have an even worse day - for a Mercedes driver - when he had problems getting his car started and onto the grid before the race.

Our love of SUVs is killing people in the streets

Tue, Jul 17 2018

Americans are fond of supersized fast-food meals and colossal convenience-store fountain drinks, even though they're clearly bad for our health and U.S. adults keep getting fatter. We also like large vehicles, and our love affair with SUVs is killing people in the streets. According to a recent investigation by the Detroit Free Press/USA Today, the increase in SUV sales over the past several years coincides with a sharp rise in pedestrian deaths in the U.S. — up 46 percent since 2009, with nearly 6,000 people killed in 2016 alone. With SUV sales surpassing sedans in 2014 and pickups and SUVs currently accounting for 60 percent of new vehicle sales, it's no wonder Ford announced in April plans to cease U.S. sales of almost all passenger cars. And this followed Fiat Chrysler's move to virtually an all-truck, -SUV and -crossover lineup. While the Freep/USA Today investigation found that the simultaneous surge in SUV sales and pedestrian deaths comes down to vehicle size, it also points to a lack of action on the part of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), even though it knew of the dangers SUVs pose to pedestrians. Also blamed are automakers dragging their feet on implementing active safety features. Using federal accident data, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) determined that there was an 81 percent increase in single-vehicle pedestrian fatalities involving SUVs between 2009 and 2016. Freep/USA Today's analysis of the same data by counting vehicles that struck and killed pedestrians instead of the number of people killed showed a 69 percent increase in SUV involvement. As far back as 2001, researchers at Rowan University forecasted a rise in pedestrian deaths as Americans began switching to SUVs. "In the United States, passenger vehicles are shifting from a fleet populated primarily by cars to a fleet dominated by light trucks and vans," the researchers wrote, with light trucks comprising SUVs.

Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG spied in Sweden

Wed, 16 Jan 2013

We've spotted the all-new Mercedes-Benz GLA testing a couple times in recent months in getting closer to production form and shedding camouflage, but now it looks like we're see our first look at the AMG version of this compact crossover. The low ride height might trick some into thinking that we're just seeing the already-confirmed A45 AMG out testing, but the unique beltline, rear doors and side windows confirm this is some version of the GLA-Class.
What makes us so confident that this is the AMG model? Well, for starters, this prototype has beefier brakes with cross-drilled front and rear rotors and bigger front calipers, but it also sports dual exhaust outlets poking through the rear fascia and a suspension that has been lowered considerably. Our spy shooters said that this car's exhaust note made it almost certainly an AMG model.
Just to be clear, the GLA AMG will not be powered by a 4.5-liter engine. The closely related A45 AMG will carry the "45" in its name to celebrate the first 45 years of AMG, and our sources seem to indicate the AMG version of the GLA will do the same. We're expecting this sporty crossover to produce as much as 350 horsepower from its AMG-tuned four-cylinder engine, and like the all-new E63 AMG, it could very well come standard with 4Matic all-wheel drive.
