Mercedes 1982 300td Wagon Diesel 300 Td on 2040-cars
Bowling Green, Kentucky, United States
I bought this car a little over two years ago. I have been driving it all over the states of Kentucky and Tennessee on a regular basis and I wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere in the country. This is a great car. Here is some of the work that I've done on it since I bought the car a couple of years ago. 1 - The front end was rebuilt about one year ago. 2 - tires w/ only about 7k on them 3 - new shocks w/ in last two years 4 - new glow plugs about one month ago 5 - new windshield about one and one-half years ago 6 - two year old battery 7 - The tranny had been rebuilt at some point and looked good when my mechanic opened it up two years ago 8 - no exterior rust that I can see 9 -the heater that you plug-in during cold weather to keep the engine warm when she's parked works great 10 - she runs really well and i've been driving her all over the state for the past two years w/ no breakdowns or major problems 11 - i've kept the oil changed more regularly than I need to and I've taken good care of her. 12 - Vaccum pump replaced two years ago 13 - Replaced front brake pads and back rear rotor and caliper ten months ago 14 - Replaced fuel hose one month ago 15 - Replaced heater climate control motor about five months ago 16 - Valves adjusted two years ago by 17 - All belts replaced two years ago and tightened a couple of months ago Here are the minuses that I can think of: 1 - the tape deck doesn't work 2 - the rubber strip that is on the back bumper is kind-of coming off 3 - the a/c is not currently working. the system has been updated, but it stopped working last summer. May be the compressor but may not. I"m not sure. 4 - the interior is generally in good shape, but the dash is cracked, the wood paneling needs some love and the backs of both front seatbottoms have come unstitched. This can be seen if you squat down next to an open rear door. 5 - The guage that measures RPMs doesn't work. It never has. 6 - the vaccum system for the locks doesn't always work great. I've never had this looked into b/c it didn't really matter that much to me. I can also manually lock all doors if I need to. 9 - Cigarette lighter doesn't work. Never has. I've never looked into it b/c I don't smoke. |

2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class lineup shows its freshened face
Mon, 14 Jan 2013Mercedes-Benz showed us its redesigned 2014 E-Class more than a month ago, but the Detroit Auto Show finally gave us a chance to see the full family of mid-size luxury cars and wagons in the flesh. Dieter Zetsche introduced the cars, including sedan, coupe, convertible and station wagon, on stage showing the stylish new design direction.
The wagon and sedan versions (shown as the E400 Hybrid above) will go on sale this spring, while the coupe and cabriolet will hit showrooms over the summer. Check our new gallery of live shots for the entire 2014 E-Class lineup, as well as the previously released press release below.
Mercedes-Maybach previews longer, more lavish S-Class ahead of debut
Wed, Nov 18 2020In some international markets, Mercedes-Benz's new 2021 S-Class will get Level 3 semi-autonomous technology, but chauffeur-driven buyers already enjoy full autonomy. It's for these individuals that Mercedes-Maybach, the firm's extra-luxury division, stretched the sedan's wheelbase and gave it an interior worthy of a private jet. Maybach said it developed its variant of the 2021 S-Class specifically for buyers with a chauffeur. It added seven inches to the sedan's wheelbase, and the additional sheet metal benefits those riding in the back. Standard executive rear seats give passengers a comfortable place to work or rest while they're being driven, and the list of new features added to the sedan include massaging calf rests as well as heating for the neck and shoulders. Although we haven't seen Maybach's S-Class yet, a preview image shows the optional two-tone paint — one of the company's hallmarks — and a chromed Maybach emblem. Up front, it will receive a specific grille with vertical slats instead of the horizontal ones worn by the standard S-Class. An additional serving of chrome-look trim will almost certainly further set the Maybach apart, but it will retain its predecessor's relatively subtle design. Specifications won't be announced until the model's unveiling. Mercedes-Benz confirmed it's phasing out V12s, though the big engine could return for one final round under the hood of the S-Class. Alternatively, Maybach may have chosen to surf the downsizing wave still sweeping across the industry by selecting a 4.0-liter V8. Mercedes-Maybach will introduce the 2021 S-Class online on November 19 at 2 p.m. Stuttgart time, which is 8 a.m. in New York City and 5 a.m. in Los Angeles. Deliveries are scheduled to start during the first half of 2021. When it lands, the sedan will join Maybach's variant of the GLS in showrooms across the United States. Related Video:
Porsche tops JD Power APEAL study for 12th time
Wed, Jul 27 2016JD Power's 2016 Automotive Performance, Execution, and Layout (APEAL) study hasn't changed much this time around with Porsche coming in at No.1 for the 12th consecutive year, while BMW was close behind in second. Jaguar and Mercedes-Benz tied for third with Land Rover, Lexus, and Lincoln tied for No.5. The APEAL Study, according to JD Power, measures owners' level of excitement and emotional attachment across 77 parameters. Brands and cars are rated on a 1,000-point scale. The study found that new cars with modern safety features including low speed collision avoidance and blind spot monitoring have higher APEAL scores than vehicles without the features. The overall industry score increased from 798 to 801, which JD Power claims was helped by the launch of a variety of new vehicles. This year, 22 out of 30 new or redesigned cars received a higher score than the vehicle's respective segment average. Porsche is once again at the top of the list as the automaker's score increased by three points to 877. BMW outscored Jaguar to take second place with a score of 859, while the British automaker dropped three points from last year with 852 points. Volkswagen overtook Mini to become the top-ranked non-premium brand with 809 points, while the latter automaker trailed behind by one point. At the end of the scale, Smart came in at the very bottom for the second year in a row with a score of 745 points, which represents an increase of 62 points over last year. Fiat's score increased by six points to 755, but still confined the automaker to second-to-worst place for a consecutive year. Mitsubishi's score increased to 770, up from 755, to become the fourth-worst brand, while Jeep fell to third-worst with a decrease in seven points to 756. General Motors received six segment-level awards, followed by Hyundai with five, and BMW and VW earning four apiece. Surprise segment victories include the Chevrolet Camaro, which outscored the Dodge Challenger, and the Lexus RC which ranked above the BMW 4 and 3 Series.
