Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"The Bad:Air conditioning blowing warm, needs recharged. I believe a new AC compressor was installed 3 to 4 years ago. I have noticed that the odometer is not tracking miles. I have a replacement instrument cluster that can fix this issue (comes with the car). The driver's side (left) needs a new caliper. When I did the job a month ago I was unable to get the new caliper to fit and have not had a chance to replace it. I believe the current caliper is Bendix. There is a little pull to the left when breaking and it sounds like the caliper piston may be sticking occasionally. One of the rear windows does not go down once in a while, I think there is a faulty switch. If you press down hard and wiggle the switch it goes down 1/2 the time. Rear end/suspension is sagging and a little bouncy over bumps. The car drives smooth otherwise, especially on the highway.There is rust on the exterior and around the door jams/frames. See links to videos below that detail the car"
Mercedes Benz 300 TD Turbo Diesel Wagon (1979)
~200,000 miles
This is a reliable and safe car.
In the past 3 years the following maintenance has been completed:
1) New motor mounts
2) Front end suspension (bilstein struts, control arms, upper and lower ball joints, guide rod mounts, idler arm bushings, bearings, etc...) I have pictures of every part that was installed, please inquire.
3) 4-new tires
4) Set of new glow plugs
5) Front and Rear flex discs on drivetrain
6) New rear hatch struts
7) Replaced main motor seal
8) New Headlights
9) Front caliper (right). The driver's side (left) needs a new caliper. When I did the job a month ago I was unable to get the new caliper to fit and have not had a chance to replace it. I believe the current caliper is Bendix. There is a little pull to the left when breaking and it sounds like the caliper piston may be sticking.

10) Tank sending unit for fuel gauge (brand new unit)
11) New battery
12) New starter
13) New voltage regulator
14) Repaired faulty plug on block heater (works perfectly now)
This is well over $2500 in parts and service costs alone.
Also in working condition:
Headlights, high beams, turn signals, break lights, fog lights, hazards, front and rear wipers, horn, radio, heater, front and rear defroster, overhead lights, speedometer, tachometer, clock, fuel gauge, oil pressure gauge, locks, windows. One of the rear windows does not go down once in a while, I think there is a faulty switch. If you press down hard and wiggle the switch it goes down 1/2 the time. Sunroof is manual.
I changed the oil every 4 months or 3,000 miles whichever came first.
Good filters and diesel grade oil. I will do a complete oil change for the new owner; included in the price. Or put the oil and filters in trunk for you to do the job, which ever you prefer. I also change the inline fuel filter routinely.

The Bad:
Air conditioning blowing warm, needs recharged. I believe a new AC compressor was installed 3 to 4 years ago.
I have noticed that the odometer is not tracking mileage. The estimated mileage is around 200,000 o 250,000. The odometer currently reads 188,899.

Rear end/suspension is sagging and a little bouncy over bumps. The car drives smooth otherwise, especially on the highway.
There is some cracking on the drivers side seat and the arm rest. There is a 1" crack in the dash next to the passenger side speaker.
There is rust on the exterior and around the door jams/frames. See links to videos below that detail the interior and exterior of the car.

This was a California car, with a short life in Ohio, and now Georgia. This is a 34 years old, with signs of normal wear and tear.
The body is in fair to good condition and the engine is in great condition.
Car title notes the following: "rebuilt/salvage" and "non-actual/Warning Odometer Discrepancy."
This is not uncommon for these cars given the age.
This is my daily driver. It is a solid car, with years of life left.
Get it for a great price. The only reason I am selling it is due to relocation for work, otherwise I would be keeping it around. I love driving it and have always driven these cars (300D, 300TD, 300SD).
Payment Requirements:
Deposit must be made within 24 hours or negative feedback will be left. Deposit is $500.00 USD.
The remaining balance is due when you or shipper picks up the car (within 3 days of auction close). This is mandatory unless other arrangements are made before Buy it now or making an offer.
Shipping:
Buyer is responsible for picking up the car or arranging shipping. Buyer is responsible for the cost of shipping.
FYI, I will be driving from Augusta, GA to New York City on July 31st.
If you live along that route I would consider trailering the car to you for an additional shipping fee to cover the cost of renting a trailer.
Please inquire before placing a bid, if you are considering this shipment option. This needs to be cleared with me before you buy the car or place an offer.
***Absolutely no returns, Sold "as is," no warranty.***
The car has been described to the best of my knowledge concerning any defects/problems with the interior, exterior, and engine compartment.
Please don't hesitate to ask questions.

Leno shows off his current project cars
Mon, Aug 10 2015When your car collection grows to the enormous size of Jay Leno's, adding the usual muscle cars or European exotics loses the allure. It becomes necessary to start taking the things in weird directions. Leno is proving just that with his latest tour of many of the ongoing projects currently happening in the garage. With everything from Harley-Davidson generators to '50s hot rods on display just in this short video, there's something any fan can love. The place is like an automotive wonderland. For most people any one of these projects would be an absolute dream. For example, Leno has a copy of a one-off Mercedes-Benz racecar transporter that is nearly ready to drive. Another project hasn't even started yet but already seriously piqued our interest. Leno obtained a very ratty 1966 Volvo 122S wagon, but rather than just a restoration he's has a plan to get a V8 with a flat-plane crank from Volvo performance specialists Polestar. Another project on the way should provide a significant upgrade in performance, while still being quite green. Leno's team has already rebuilt the frame and wooden body from a 1914 Detroit Electric, and with that work done they've started dreaming of a modern drivetrain for it. One proposed candidate for the swap has been to install motor from a Nissan Leaf and a bank of lithium-ion batteries.

Wards names its 2015 10 Best Interiors list
Fri, Apr 17 2015Wards Automotive has named the winners of its 10 Best Interior awards, covering a wide but affordable array of vehicles. Where last year's list contained two six-figure vehicles, including the $372,800 Rolls-Royce Wraith, this year's is, well, a whole lot more reasonable. The publication lists the Mercedes-Benz C400 at $65,000 (which seems off), making it the most expensive vehicle here. That said, we'd argue that the entire C-Class line deserves to make this year's list, owing to its varied and high-quality selection of materials. The other vehicle to break the $60,000 mark, meanwhile, is the $60,675 Ford F-150 King Ranch, which has 327,000 pounds of leather lining its interior. Only one other German car, the BMW i3, and one other pickup truck, the GMC Canyon, managed to make this year's list. Here's the full list of this year's winners: 2014 BMW i3 ($52,550) 2015 Chrysler 300C Platinum ($51,175) 2015 Ford F-150 King Ranch ($60,675) 2015 GMC Canyon SLT ($40,465) 2015 Honda Fit EX-L ($21,590) 2015 Jeep Renegade Limited ($33,205) 2015 Kia Sedona SXL ($43,295) 2016 Mazda6 Grand Touring ($33,395) 2015 Mercedes C400 ($65,000) 2015 Nissan Murano SL ($41,905) See what we mean about the mainstream vehicles? Not only is there a distinct lack of luxury brands, it's the price of some of the vehicles that surprise. The Honda Fit, Jeep Renegade and Mazda6 are very reasonably priced, especially when you compare Wards price with the starting price. The Renegade Limited starts at less than $25,000, the Mazda at less than $22K and the Fit at under $16,000. Head over to Wards for a more detailed explanation of why each vehicle won.
