Mercedes 300td Wagon on 2040-cars
Portland, Maine, United States
I looked for a RUST FREE 300TD for a long time.... Here on the East Coast, they are very difficult to come by with a rust free body so my focus was to find a Mercedes from California. I am a vintage car & motorcycle collector. I found the car in San Diego. She was a one owner, now two owners including myself and had just over 85,000 miles when it was delivered by Intercity Lines in an enclosed truck. When she was lowered from the truck's elevator, I was amazed at the overall condition. According to the seller, the car remained in a car port for many years, being started and driven around the block occasionally... but it never ran consistently for the last decade. The car has never seen snow or salt !! I began to work on the wagon while she was in winter lay-up & most of the work was done by the best W123 Shop in Northern New England. There were many little issues with the car that needed attention. Following is what I have done in the last few years... I have owned the car for nearly a decade. (2) New Ball Joints (3) New Windshield & Gasket (No Water Leaks in this Wagon) However, it still needs a right rear door rubber seal. (4) New Tailgate Shocks (5) New Right Front & Right Rear Door Stops (6) Transmission Service, adjusted Modulator Valve, etc --> The tranny still needs the B2 Piston conversion for perfect shifting. (7) New Aux Water Pump (8) New Climate Control Unit --> The old one just wouldn't' operate correctly so after about ten hours of messing with it, we replaced the entire unit. (9) New Control Arms (10) 4 New Michelins 195/70r14 Tires (Existing Tires have about 3000 miles) The wagon needs the following: (1) Cruise control amplifier & (2) Radio Antennae does not go up and down smoothly. It has a non-factory radio that I installed a few years ago with IPOD hook up as well as four new Boston A speakers. The sun in Cali most likely has done it's job on the dash so when I purchased the car.. it arrived with a Coverlay dash cover. My intentions were to change out the dash with one that I have, but I have not gotten around to it. The car was been painted fifteen years ago... It looks good from ten feet, but there is a little overspray here and there & I think that it should either be repainted someday or wet sanded, etc. The interior needs very little; it is very nice. It has the typical fading in the rear (no third seat by the way) and a dog has scratched up the tailgate trim. The woodwork is in good condition, carpets are good & I would say overall... the interior is a 7.5/10. If the seats were restained, a few pieces of trim replaced, the interior could be a solid 9. Not a show car, but a great daily driver. There is a little rust in the sun roof well that was caused by a clogged drain at some piont in it's life. There is also a small rust spot on the drivers side rear quarter panel shown in one of the pictures. It was there ten years ago and has slowly doubled in size. A very easy fix but I have always held off as I planned to strip the entire car and paint it... The headlight doors should be replaced as they are cracked. |

Mercedes C-Class Coupe due to go on sale next December
Sat, Dec 6 2014While we expect to see the coming Mercedes C-Class convertible sometime next year, perhaps at the Paris Motor Show, Auto Motor und Sport reports that the C-Class Coupe will go on sale in December 2015 (probably in Europe first) - it's possible we'll see it debuted at the same time as the cabrio. The German magazine says the two-door will have sharper lines on a body that is four inches longer, almost two inches wider and a fraction of an inch lower than the sedan, dimensional aggrandizement that will be put to good effect on the AMG version coming in 2016. We'll have to wait for information on powertrains, which should hew to the sedan's lineup in addition to whatever else M-B might bring over here, topped off by the 503-horsepower, twin-turbo V8 in the AMG variant. Speaking of which, the 'last-generation' C63 AMG Coupe is still on sale until spring of next year, if you're a fan of the classics. Or you can wait on news of the C-Class four-door coupe, if niches inside of niches are what you're really after.
2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG
Fri, 22 Feb 2013Make way for the 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG, the most wonderfully preposterous car I have ever driven.
There is absolutely no reason why any two-seat roadster should be fitted with a twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V12 developing 621 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque, but I sure am glad that Mercedes-Benz doesn't see things that way.
Drop into the leather-lined cockpit of this $213,145 provocateur, floor the accelerator pedal as I did over and over again, and 60 miles per hour falls in a traction-limited 3.9 seconds. Top speed has been electronically held to 186 mph (this apparently saves Gulfstream jet owners from embarrassment). Forget the SL550 and SL63 AMG, the valets will trip over themselves attending to the tycoon driving this thoroughbred - it's the real deal.
The BMW 8 Series leads this month's list of discounts
Tue, Jun 9 2020Whether you prefer the sleek looks of a sport coupe, the wind-in-your-hair exhilaration of a convertible or the flexible practicality of a four-door sedan, BMW has an 8 Series to suit your fancy. And if you're in the market right now, you may find that your local BMW dealership is willing to take $18,124 off the sticker price. That figure comes courtesy of TrueCar, and it reflects the discount buyers are getting off the 8 Series' average $122,395 retail price. Most of the 8 Series models in American showrooms today are 2019 models, and that's the model year to which the discount above applies. This represents the largest discount on a new car in America this month, based on the dollar amount off the car's sticker price, and the third largest discount by percentage. And it means the average transaction price for a 2019 BMW 8 Series is hovering at $104,271. 2020 BMW 840i Gran Coupe View 38 Photos BMW offers two distinct versions of the 8 Series, the 335-horsepower 840i with rear- or all-wheel drive, and the 523-horsepower 850i, which comes standard with BMW's xDrive all-wheel-drive system. If you want to step even further up the performance ladder, there's the M8, but that 600-horsepower monster is getting a much smaller $6,150 discount. If you're not into BMWs, the 2019 Mercedes-AMG GT boasts the second largest monetary discount this month, with buyers averaging $16,713 off the Benz's $176,035 sticker price. Another Mercedes, the S-Class, is next with a $11,452 discount. After that comes a pair of Maserati sedans, the Quattroporte and Ghibli, each with discounts of around $11,000. Since the Ghibli's base price is so much lower than that of its larger sibling, that represents a much larger 13.5% cut from its average retail price of $81,384 for an out-the-door cost of $70,373.
