Please read the entire description, I'm including some tools as well. Selling my 85 300d turbo diesel. Its a California model that has 225k miles on it. Car was optioned with leather interior and for the most part the interior is in great shape. I intend to be as honest as possible in my description. Service records are fairly complete but I can tell you what I've done in the past two years. CV axles (china) comes with originals, rear sway bar links, front wheel bearings, shocks (all four), front upper control arms, air conditioning compressor, tires, rebuilt injectors with monarch nozzles, recent valve job, replaced all hvac vacuum actuator, rear door lock actuator, fixed one of the rear window regulator (pass rear needs fixing). I think that's about it. This car currently has no vacuum leaks, all doors lock and unlock. Car can sit for well over a week and still unlock all doors. Originated from California so it has very minimal to no rust. I've never had the car not start due to cold weather (<0F) runs excellent very little smoke under WOT. Truly a pleasure to drive down the highway.

The bad: front drivers seat could use a little tlc, the leather has separated from the lower frame. Dash has a small crack in it (pictured), Rear end chunks on down shift and when going from R to D however, it's done this since I've had it and I'm not concerned about it. The paint on the hood roof and trunk is sun faded however the body is extremely clean there is only one small dent that I know of. Other then that the body is very good shape, I was going to have the car repainted but I decided I preferred the look of the patina on the roof, hood and trunk. Cruise control works, but not that great. Sometimes the AUTO setting on HVAC controls doesn't bring the fan on, just have to turn it on high and set back to auto. Air conditioning compressor was replaced recently and the A/C works however it recently began making a noise, I did have the belts of recently so it could just be a loose belt but its been cool out so I haven't been using it

Car was originally from California spent some years in AZ as well (from service records). Its a very clean car and I hate to see it go I just have too many projects right now. I have the original sales receipt for the vehicle, maintenance history is also fairly complete. If there are more questions regarding this I can take pictures of it when I return home tomorrow. I have several specialty tools that will go with the car as well as instructions for various maintenance things. Injector pop tester (with guide), valve adjustment wrenches (with guide), Diesel compression test kit, Pre-chamber removal tool, glow plug reamer, there may be others but that's all I can think of you will get what I have. Please keep in mind this car is in very good shape for its age and it has been taken care of and maintained and it also comes with most tools necessary to keep it maintained. These cars are a lot of fun to own but keep in mind it is almost 30 years old I would recommend being able to perform maintenance and willing to work on it. Please email me if you have any questions. I will be able to provide additional pictures upon request. I would not hesitate driving this car anywhere!

Mercedes-Benz S500 Plug-in Hybrid ready for 'major role' in urban areas

Fri, Jan 17 2014

We finally got a clear look at the Mercedes-Benz S500 Plug-in Hybrid at the Frankfurt Motor Show last fall, but it took until this week to learn what the vision (see what we did there) is that Mercedes-Benz has for the PHEV. Despite it's generous size, Mercedes thinks this is a vehicle that will work well in urban areas. Speaking to members of the media during the Detroit Auto Show, Thomas Weber, Daimler AG management board member and research and development chief for Mercedes-Benz cars, said that the S500 PHEV, "will play a major role in congested areas" and that it will offer "a lot of driving pleasure." Part of that pleasure will come from a 0-62 mile-per-hour time of around 5.5 seconds thanks to a turbocharged, 3.0-liter V6 and an 80-kilowatt electric motor. The PHEV also has a 19-mile EV range, which will put it at the bottom end of the Three-Pointed star plug-in lineup. The upcoming C-Class plug-in, for example, will likely go, "closer to 50 km [31 miles]," Weber said, according to Green Car Reports. The S500 PHEV will go on sale in Europe later this year and will come to the US in early 2015 but there is no timeline, yet, for the C-Class plug-in (and the standard gas-electric hybrid version) or the even-more-future E-Class hybrids.

Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG officially teased in mini video

Mon, 15 Jul 2013

The followup to the Mercedes-Benz S550, the S63 AMG, will sport a biturbocharged V8 that will likely turn out around 550 horsepower. The new engine is probably the 5.5-liter, biturbocharged V-8 that's been popping up in everything from the ML63 to the E63 AMG. The front fascia is more aggressive, which shouldn't come as a surprise, while a meaty exhaust setup can be found out back.
We managed to pick all that up from a short, 17-second video posted by MB. The original video that unveiled the S63 AMG has since been pulled down, making this YouTube clip the best look we now have at the new super sedan, at least until the Germans give up the goods for real.
Be sure to check out the video below, along with our original posting on the S63 AMG.

Maybach officially discontinues all models for 2013

Tue, 14 Aug 2012

The word "Maybach" has joined the long list of synonyms for the word "kaput." Mercedes-Benz released the price list for the 2013 models of its super-luxury sedans, with the price column simply stating "Discontinued" for each one of them.
The 2012 models, should there be any left for 11th-hour buyers, maintain the increased MSRPs that Daimler slapped on them late last year after it was known the brand would be terminated next year. But you might still be able to wrangle that $100,000 rebate if you ask nicely, or in Russian, or have Rick Ross ask for you.
It shouldn't be too long before we see the ultimate version of the next generation S-Class, the S600 Pullman, that will replace Maybach. Intriguingly, it's said the Pullman will be offered with every S-Class engine, even the four-cylinder diesel.
