Mercedes 1982 300td Wagon Diesel 300 Td on 2040-cars

Year:1982 Mileage:184045 Color: rust that I can see
Location:

Bowling Green, Kentucky, United States

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.

Missouri Mercedes dealer offering free Smart with every SLS AMG purchase

Wed, 05 Dec 2012

The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT is an exquisite sports car that probably needs no help flying off dealer lots, even with a starting price of almost $200,000, but Mercedes-Benz of Kansas City has come up with an interesting incentive to sweeten the deal. For buyers who purchase a new SLS AMG from dealer stock before the end of the year, the dealership is throwing in a new Smart Fortwo from its inventory at no charge... with a required coupon no less.
In addition to being a great tactic to get a little free press, the spare car also makes sense as an alternative to the SLS, which measures more than 15-feet long - almost twice the length of a Fortwo - and has a 563-horsepower engine that sucks down gas at the rate of 13 miles per gallon in city driving (and even that's provided you don't give in to the devil on your shoulder). Plus, at the end of the day, this really isn't that big of an incentive. Being given a slow-selling $12,490 car for the purchase of a model starting at $199,500 represents about a six percent incentive, which is along the lines of a $1,900 rebate for a $30,000 car.
To get the free Smart, just visit the Mercedes-Benz of Kansas City Facebook page, redeem the coupon and then go buy yourself a new SLS AMG. Congratulations!

Russia gives its Olympic medalists new Mercedes

Thu, 27 Feb 2014

Russian medalists at the recently concluded Sochi Winter Olympics are being rewarded quite handsomely for their service to the Motherland. In addition to the $120,000 being handed out for each gold medal, the $76,000 being awarded for slivers and $52,000 given to bronze winners, now word has come out that each of Russia's medalists will be gifted a new Mercedes-Benz.
As with the prize amounts, the type of Mercedes offered was based on what sort of medal was won. Gold medalists got a new GL-Class, silver medalists were given an ML and bronze medalists were treated to a GLK. As prices for Mercedes are higher in Russia, the cheapest model, the GLK, was the equivalent of $59,500, according to The Moscow Times. The cars were handed out by Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, pictured above with figure skating medalist Julia Lipnitskaia.
"I was a bit shocked at the car I was given," Anton Shipulin, a member of the gold-medal biathlon relay team, told RIA-Novosti. "Of course I knew what kind of model it would be, but I didn't totally believe it." For athletes not old enough to drive, like 15-year-old Lipnitskaia, their Mercedes will come complete with a driver.

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.
