Port Charlotte, Florida, United States

1995 Mercedes 300D  209k miles

White, with rare grey leather interior, converted to run on WVO or diesel.

This car is non running, so needs to be towed from its current location in FL 33981

So here is the good.

This car was my daily driver till the ip quit. Then I decided to go through everything and I started out with replacing all glow plugs. While they were out I checked compression, the values were 380 to 400 PSI all across. Next I installed new Bozio injectors for $450

Then my job relocated me to Seattle and I had to stop working on it.

The car originally came form Los Angeles and I bought it in the Midwest. So it has no rust besides some superficial. Its paint is original and still quite nice but will need a good wax. The body is straight and never been in an accident while I owned it or that I can tell. It has a hitch and I towed my jet ski with it. Would not want to tow anything large with this car. The interior is very clean with only a few blemishes.

Tranny shifts  like it should, and the tires are also still decent all around.

The bad, as I said earlier it needs to be towed from its current location. And there are a few things missing. Like the gas tank and maybe a bolt or bracket. I tried to keep everything together, but a few minor things might have gone missing. Just want to point that out.

To bring it back to running condition will require a gas tank and a ip installed and a few odds and ends so it should not be too big of a project for somebody who knows how to work on these older Mercedes. 

Please note that at time of pick up the payment will be in cash and  the car is sold as is.

The only form of payment accepted will be cash.

Upon  auction winning please send via paypal $200.00 within 1 day  which is non refundable but credited towards purchase price. Pickup of the car must be within 5 days unless other arrangements are made with me via phone conversation.

Remainder payable in cash upon picking up of the car.

If there are any questions please feel free to contact me and I will try to answer as clear and accurate as possible. Please also look at the pics closely as to its condition.

Also the car can be inspected prior to auction end at any time.  Just  make arrangements with me ahead of time.

Happy bidding J

Watch Evo pick its 2015 Car of the Year in this epic video

Mon, Dec 7 2015

With just a few days left in 2015, it's the perfect time to check out Evo's annual Car of the Year test to determine the greatest performance vehicle of the last 12 months. The writers' picks for the 11 finalists spanned a breadth of engaging models and included: Peugeot 208 GTi by Peugeot Sport, Lamborghini Aventador SV, Seat Leon Cupra Sub8, McLaren 675LT, Porsche 991 GT3 RS, Porsche Cayman GT4, Honda Civic Type R, Ferrari 488 GTB, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, Lotus Evora 400, and Mercedes-AMG GT S. For the venue to test the mettle of these performance machines, Evo stuck close to home this year and visited the twisting roads at the beautiful north coast of Scotland. Racing brothers Marino and Dario Franchitti also came along for the ride to provide two more voices in the competitive challenge to determine a winner. Evo's video explains why each model deserves to be among such rarified company but doesn't gloss over their faults either. There can be only one winner, though. We don't want to spoil it, so check out the clip for magnificent views of these performance machines through the Scottish countryside.

Smart will go electric-only in United States and Canada

Tue, Feb 14 2017

By 2018, the Smart car brand will be only known as an electric vehicle manufacturer in the US. According to Automotive News, sales of gasoline-powered Smart cars will cease later this year, and Daimler will develop the product portfolio into a solely electrified one. This coincides with the upcoming launch of the new generation Smart ForTwo electric drive models this summer. Automotive News claims to have obtained a letter from Mercedes-Benz USA CEO Dietmar Exler sent to US dealers. In it, he underlines the decision to go electric-only, saying "developments within the micro-car segment present some challenges for the current Smart product portfolio," and that the change will only affect North American sales. Production of US-destined gasoline-powered Smarts will cease in April, and sales will continue until stock runs out. The current generation has been on sale from 2015, and it hasn't reached the 2014 sales peak of 10.453 units of the previous generation; last year, there were little more than 6.200 Smarts sold in the States. The first electric drive Smarts were unveiled a decade ago, but they became available in the USA five years later, initially via various trial programs, including Car2Go fleets. Related Video:

Mercedes to roll out S65 AMG Coupe in July

Mon, 07 Apr 2014

We're still a couple of weeks away from the public debut of the new Mercedes S63 AMG Coupe at the fast-approaching New York Auto Show, but already we're receiving word of an even more powerful version in the works. That, of course, would be the S65 AMG Coupe - the twelve-cylinder version of the latest S-Class Coupe, two-door counterpart to the S65 AMG sedan and replacement for the outgoing CL65 AMG.
Like the four-door version rolled out back in November, the S65 AMG Coupe would be distinguished from less powerful vehicles (which, lets face it, is just about everything) principally by its engine: a massive, 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12 that produces 621 horsepower, 738 pound-feet of torque and cares as much about global warming as an oil-shipping mega-tanker.
Because Merc's 4Matic all-wheel drive system can't handle that much torque, the ne plus ultra coupe would (like the S65 sedan but unlike the S63 coupe) be offered only in rear-drive form. That means it will have that much more trouble getting the power down to the road, but since the Magic Body Control suspension is similarly incompatible with 4Matic, the flagship coupe will get that trick suspension.
