I am selling my 1985 300TD Wagon. I have owned the vehicle for several years as a project car with the intention of converting to a two tank veggie system--which did not pan out. I got the wagon from a friend of mine who bought it with a Salvage title from Merrill Cars and Parts. The wagon will crank if persuaded, although the battery is quite old. The machine is not in museum condition the paint is showing its age and the rear hydraulic shocks need to be replaced or rebuilt. There is a leak in the hatchback that seeps into the carpet, I presume the glass pane is the issue although I haven't tracked it down. Interior is relatively clean (I included pictures of the ugly aspects, driver's visor/center column/dash cracks) Odometer shows 321,576 on original engine and transmission. Model is 123T, date of manufacture is March 1985 making this one of later machines Mercedes' made of this model. While this is not a stellar specimen, my asking price is substantially lower than the few I've seen listed on here. VIN WDBAB93C9FF047346 happy trails.
Known issues:
Battery should be replaced, although after being cranked it handles things okay...
Rear Shocks will need to be rebuilt at some point
Leak in back right corner of hatchback
All five tires are worn out
Passenger visor fell off
Driver's mirror fell out
Paint is in fair to average condition (see pictures of fading and blistered area)
Sun and age have killed the sound barrier underneath the hood
Unexpected Positives:
two spare AC compressors
extra fuel filters
smooth idle
extra seat- for middle row
third row of seats for seating up to seven
upper ball joints were replaced
new air filter
Manual moonroof works and does not leak
all windows are original with the exception of the windshield.

Watch this perfectly nice Mercedes get crushed by a front-end loader
Mon, 25 Mar 2013In a world where the YouTube hoax continues to thrive, it's hard to know what to think of this little vid, but here are the facts as we know them: a coupe that looks like a first-generation Mercedes-Benz CLK gets crushed by a giant front-end loader. There you have it.
Our questions arise in the aftermath - we know industrial resource machinery is heavy, but the Benz gets squashed so flat we wonder if someone's trying to play a joke on us. We hear that the white coupe may have been the heavy-equipment operator's foreman's car, but who knows? The on-camera interview seems awfully conveniently placed, yes? See for yourself in the video below and then leave us your thoughts in Comments.
2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class interior caught in spy shots
Tue, 29 Jan 2013With the redesigned 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class getting closer to production, the camera-wielding crew over at Autospies somehow managed to get inside of the car to snap some detailed spy shots. As the prototypes continue to shed camouflage, it would appear that Mercedes-Benz is getting closer to unveiling the car, and with the Geneva and New York auto shows coming up, it could be sooner rather than later.
From what we can see of this car's interior, the overall look of the S-Class' cabin isn't a ground-breaking departure from the current car, but it has been completely redesigned with more advanced technology. The styling is now even more upscale with larger swaths of wood, more shapely door panels (without the built-in armrest cubbies) and the concept-like two-spoke steering wheel. The highlight of this car though is probably the two massive digital screens with one being used for driver information and the other used for navigation, audio and infotainment systems. One other detail we noticed about this car is that it was equipped with the new 360-degree camera that debuted on the new GL-Class and will also be used on the 2014 E-Class. We also know that the next-gen S-Class will be getting the new cloud-based MBrace2 infotainment system.
As for the exterior design, it looks like the next S-Class will carry a similar profile as the current car, but we can see through the camouflage that the new styling will fit in better with current Mercedes-Benz products. Up front, the grille is much larger is flanked by aggressive LED-trimmed headlights, while the rear view of the car shows us the LED brake light now at the top of the rear window, a more pointed trunk opening and a more squared-off rear fascia with exhaust outlets pushed to the corners.
Mercedes says it's tops in luxury sales for 2012, not BMW
Tue, 19 Feb 2013It turns out that Mercedes-Benz North America has legitimate claim to being the top selling luxury nameplate in the US in 2012.
While sources such as Autodata had put BMW in the top spot, registration data from R.L. Polk shows that Mercedes customers registering new vehicles topped the Bavarian automaker in the most recent calendar year. Polk says Benz posted 274,123 registrations, compared with BMW's 268,498.
In terms of sales posted, BMW had bested Benz 281,460 to 274,134. But sales are recorded somewhat inconsistently from automaker to automaker. Some book the sales as soon as they are shipped from factory to dealer. There is perennial gamesmanship between the two German rivals, and the sales numbers suggest that BMW pushed out some extra sheetmetal to dealers in the last four weeks of the year.
