You are bidding on my daily driver for the last 3 1/2 years, a 1987 Mercedes 300D with the 603 6 cylinder engine. I bought the car after seeing it sit, broken down in the employee lot where I work for over a year, and bought it from the owner, never having had a diesel car before, thus starting my love affair with these cars. I have three. Wifey says sell two. Back to the car. I have done a few things to the car to assure its reliability, and having no records on the car, I set about catching up on maintenance that had obviously gone unattended for quite some time. I put in Monarch nozzle tips and changed the fluid in everything that has fluid, along with the filters. (transmission filter looked good) I replaced a seal in the steering box, in my quest to staunch the myriad leaks. New timing chain and tensioner. Two new glow plugs. New water pump. New serpentine belt, tensioner and shock. Rebuilt alternator. Cleaned out ALDA circuit, so it breathes well. New front rotors and brake pads, right front wheel bearing. Several tie rod ends, and the left ball joint. Cleaned out radiator when I had it out to replace the water pump.
Now for the things that I still haven't gotten to. No A/C. I didn't care that much. Heat works, as long as you're moving. I was good with that too. My commute was 2 hrs, one way, all on the highway, once a week. Right rear window doesn't roll down. Radio doesn't work. Didn't care about that either, given that I like to listen to the engine... There are more, lets see...no cruise control, trunk lid mysteriously gets water in it when it rains. No idea how it gets in there. Odometer didn't work when I got it...stuck at 204k. I've put a boost gauge on it, and it will put out around 14 psi. Coolant temp stays right at 85 degrees C. Front left bumper is torn up.
Sunroof works. 32 mpg. Burns or leaks a quart of oil every 2000 miles. It WILL do at least 100 mph! It's just fun to drive!
I am sure I've forgotten a few things, but I'll add them as I think of them. As I said before, I would have been happy to keep this car, but Wifey likes the newest one I've got, (it has air), so it's gotta find a new, hopefully thoughtful owner. Low reserve, so bid with confidence!

2019 BMW M850i xDrive: How it compares on paper with other GT coupes
Wed, Jul 11 2018Although the hot new vehicles for the rich seem to mainly comprise SUVs and supercars, the neglected luxury GT coupe segment is starting to see some life again. The latest to add a spark to this set is the 2019 BMW M850i xDrive. It goes on sale later this year, and revives the 8 Series that's been dead since the 1990s. The first version available to Americans will be one with a twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8, with other versions likely following. Before it launches, we wanted to get a lay of the grand-touring land and see how the new BMW stacks up to the competition in performance, practicality and price. While some of these models have higher-performance or more-affordable iterations, we picked the versions that would be the closest match to this 8 Series model. They include the 2019 Lexus LC 500, 2018 Mercedes-Benz SL 550, 2018 Mercedes-Benz S 560 Coupe and the 2018 Maserati GranTurismo. We will also provide some short summaries on our experiences with these cars, but to get a full picture of each model, be sure to check out their full reviews. And if you want to compare any of these cars with models you don't see here, be sure to try out our car comparison tool. Engines, transmissions and performance On paper, the BMW M850i xDrive is clearly the performer of the group. It has the most power and torque at 523 horsepower and 553 pound-feet. Coupled with all-wheel-drive and an eight-speed automatic, the car is able to overcome its relatively portly 4,478-pound curb weight to hit 60 mph in a scant 3.6 seconds. That's more than half a second quicker than the lightest car in the group, the Mercedes-Benz SL550, which weighs 4,012 pounds. The other three vehicles are in the low- to mid-4-second range to 60 mph. Though the Maserati is the slowest to 60 mph, it does boast the highest top speed of 186 mph. The M850i and SL 550 are electronically limited to 155 mph, while the Lexus is limited to 168 mph. The Mercedes S 560 has the lowest top speed at an electronically limited 130 mph. View 52 Photos Of interest is that there's a 50/50 split among these cars between using a pair of turbos, and having none at all. The BMW and Mercedes resort to forced induction, whereas the Lexus and Maserati choose to stay naturally aspirated. This is likely why the Germans break 500 pound-feet of torque, while the others don't make it to 400. Also interesting is the spread of gear quantity. The Maserati has just six ratios to choose from, and the Lexus has a whopping 10.
Chicago Car2Go app reportedly hacked, some 100 cars missing
Wed, Apr 17 2019Car2Go launched in Chicago in the summer of 2018, with 400 Daimler cars rolled out on the Windy City streets soon after. But that big fleet just took a big hit: The car-sharing app has now reportedly been hacked, and some 100 cars have been stolen as a result. CBS Chicago is reporting that some of the missing cars have been used to commit crimes. It is yet unclear what the hacking has exactly enabled the perps to do, but the compromised app appears to have opened the doors and given the thieves free rein with easily stolen cars. Within Chicago, there is a 29 square mile area where the vehicles were supposed to be dropped off, but they haven't been limited from exiting that zone at any point. The Chicago Car2Go fleet started out with Smart ForTwo cars and bigger Mercedes-Benz CLA/GLA models; we can imagine the ForTwos are a touch slight for any ram raiding, but an escape car that can vanish in a crowd of other shared Smart cars seems handy for misuse. To address the matter, Car2Go froze its Chicago operations today, saying it is "neutralizing a fraud issue and working together with law enforcement." No personal or confidential user info is said to have been compromised. CBS Chicago's Brad Edwards tweeted today that 12 people have been taken into custody so far, with the story developing as we speak.
