1989 Mercedes Benz 300se One Owner No Rust on 2040-cars
Arlington, Virginia, United States
Hello,
Up for sale is a nice condition 1989 300se.
I am selling this car for an old friend of mine, almost family, who is the original owner of the car. I have a clean title in hand. The information below is a mix of what I've been told, and my assessment of the car upon driving it. General Summary: The car is mechanically sound. Exterior shows scratches and dings, but no major damage. Dashboard has no cracks. Headliner is in perfect shape. Interior is dirty/marked from years of use, but that would come out with a good cleaning. Driver's seat has very small cracks forming in the leather. Otherwise, the leather is in extremely good shape. Imagine, the driver was an older woman who never bought another car until now. She never needed to do more than regular maintenance. She took care of it, but not meticulously. She just used it... For 25 years - kids, grandkids, shopping, etc. Problems: Power Door Lock vacuum is dead. Locks can be manually depressed, but will not stay. Electric power seats do not work. Second-hand information is that it has to do with the switches, and I was given replacement switches, but no work was done. The battery dies if car is not driven for 3-4 days. Roof has some droplets where it looks like sap or chemicals were left, and the clear coat is eaten through. Also there are areas of light oxidation or clear coat wearing off on the roof. The car seems down on power or sluggish, and smells strongly of burning fuel. I suspect it needs a good tune-up and timing adjusted. (There is no hesitation, hiccuping, or otherwise weird stuff when accelerating though. Just seems like it should have more power than just average) Passenger sun-visor clip is broken, shown in the picture. Center console is cracked and loose. Seatbelt mount could have the leather fixed - shown in photos. It's not torn, just loose. Other stuff: Shifts are smooth and all gears work. Sunroof works in all positions without strange noises, no grinding, and does not leak Serpentine belt was done in the last few hundred miles. Spare tire and jack have never been used. Turns and rolls nicely. Turning the wheel all the way either direction does not produce any unusual sound from the steering, nor grinding or anything. Brakes work well no squeaking and no pulling, surprisingly. Tires are old, but have about 50% tread life, or more. I can provide video of the car running if you want. Test drives are welcome. Car is sold without warranty of course. |

Here's today's round of auto plant closures in response to coronavirus
Fri, Mar 20 2020More automakers have shuttered factories, as businesses everywhere work to slow the spread of the Covid-19 coronavirus — and as the pandemic slows sales and disrupts parts supply chains. On Friday, the following closures were announced: • Volvo will close its factories in Sweden and the United States from March 26 to April 14. Volvo's U.S. facility, in Charleston, South Carolina, makes the S60 sedan. Its assembly plant in Torslanda, Sweden, turns out the XC90, SC60, and V90. Other Swedish facilities make engines and component parts. A Volvo factory in Ghent, Belgium, that builds the XC40 and V60 closed earlier this week and is expected to remain offline until April 6. Volvo's four factories in China have been reopened after a shutdown earlier this year. • Jaguar Land Rover announced that it will suspend production at its assembly plants in the UK over the coming week. The shutdown is expected to last until April 20. Elsewhere, production continues at the company's factories in India and Brazil, and JLR's joint-venture plant in China reopened at the end of February. • Bentley is closing its factory in Crewe, England, for four weeks, effective today. • Bugatti has put its atelier in Molsheim, France, on hiatus. No date was given for when assembly of its supercars might resume. • Mercedes-Benz on Monday will shut down its SUV factory in Alabama and its van assembly plant in South Carolina. Both will remain closed for a minimum of two weeks. Tesla yesterday revealed that it will suspend operations at its Fremont, California, vehicle assembly plant next week, on order from local officials there. Yesterday's factory closure announcements also included the U.S. assembly plants for Toyota (until April 6), Volkswagen (through March 29), Subaru (through March 29), and Hyundai (no time period specified). They join GM, Ford, Chrysler, Honda, Nissan, and Harley-Davidson, which earlier this week announced the suspension of production at their facilities.
