Up for sale is my 1976 Mercedes 300 Diesel (115 body style E Class).
I bought this car as a daily driver with the intension of restoring it. As tends to be the case I am way to busy, travel to much and do nnot have the time this car deserves.
Increasingly hard to find the 300 Diesel was the fisrt ever 5 cylinder diesel engine in the world which Mercedes later added a Turbo for the 116, 126 and 123 series cars.
Even harder to find are ones with a sun roof and this has one and it works.
I love this car and were it not for my busy schedule would never sell it.
Everything in the car works however the aircondtioning (it will work and both heater and air conditioning fans work) needs a recharge and the central locking does not hold its vacuum.
The car needs new window seal front and rear (I have these new and are included in the sale).
The car is rock solid with very (and I mean VERY minimal surface rust).
I have a bunch of spares for the car which, if the full selling price of $3800) is achieved I will include:
Front and rear chassis mounts, Hirschman Electric Antenna (Standard manual Hirschman is fitted). Sun roof felt seals (Very hard to find), replacement windscreen wiper rubbers (original Mercedes Benz) Spare front and rear windows, 4 spare doors with electric windows, trunk seal, electric windo wiring harness complete with switches, relays and fuses, chrome trim for a complete car, complete differential and drive shafts (correct ratio), original Becker Radio (working), seats, seat covers, head rests and way much more.
The car drives and srtarts great with a fully working glow plug system and shuts of on the key as it should. Gearbox is great, does not slip and changes up and down as it should.
The electric windows, sun roof and central locking works as does the power steering, brakes and parking brake.
The only negative in this car is that it has a dent in the rear left quarter. A relatively simple body and paint.
The car has new tires including the spare and has 4 original color coded hub caps.
User hand book and tools along with vehicle jack and 1 gal reserve can of fuel are included.
The car has a clean title and is declared non op but has a fully charged battery and can be driven away.
I would hope this car finds a good home and will live for another 40 years.
The engine, chassis, transmission, brakes are strong, gets great gas mileage (around 22 in town) and would be a great car for anyone.
Please bid with confidence and bid responsible.
Please do no expect a perfect car but I have described the car fully. This car is 37 years old. Great ones sell for $8000, really good sell for $15000 and I have seen many a pos advertized for way more than this one. This car is goodand is easily a daily user with reliability and logevity.
The car is offered sale else where and I reserve the right to end the auction early. If you want to own this car you do need to bid to win.

Mercedes-AMG teases GT interior, announces fall 2014 debut
Tue, 15 Apr 2014Mercedes-Benz opted to tease the assembled media at its post-New York Auto Show party, showing off a pair of images of the exquisitely crafted interior of the highly anticipated successor of the SLS AMG - the V8-powered Mercedes-AMG GT.
Slated for a debut in the fall at either Paris or Los Angeles (we're betting Paris), you'll note straight away that there's something wrong with this car's name. Where's the "Benz?" Well, it's been ditched to, as Mercedes says, "make the dream of the authentic Mercedes-AMG sports car come true." Sorry Karl.
"The new Mercedes-AMG GT proves that we will be positioning AMG as a dynamic sports car brand even more strongly and aggressively than before," said Tobias Moers, CEO of Mercedes-AMG.
Maybach could become Mercedes-Benz sub-brand
Wed, 22 Jun 2011When you're arriving in a twin-turbocharged, twelve-cylinder Maybach limo, there's no reason you should ever have to be late. Except, maybe, to make a fashionable entrance. But up at the corporate level, the entire Maybach brand is being slowed down as critical decisions about its future are being undertaken.
Last week, we reported that a decision on what path Maybach would take going forward would be due at the start of next month, but the latest reports indicate that the timeframe has been extended as further options are being considered.
The previous options under consideration were twofold: either relaunch the brand with production outsourced to Aston Martin - which suddenly finds itself with excess production capacity - or shut it down completely. And those are still two very real options. Word has it that Aston has put together four concept cars for the Daimler brass to consider, all based on the next-generation S-Class platform (and thankfully not the old one).
Does Alex Rodriguez' Mercedes dealership have a PR problem?
Thu, 08 Aug 2013Alex Rodriguez, in case you haven't heard, is seemingly the new Most Hated Man In Baseball, ostensibly replacing commissioner Bud Selig (for now). Rodriguez was slammed with a 211-game suspension due to his role in the MLB's latest steroid scandal in which "A-Roid," as fans have taken to calling the former superstar, was cited with steroid use and attempts to hide his involvement by "engaging in a course of conduct intended to obstruct and frustrate" the investigation, according to the MLB's official report.
Why is this on a car site, then? Because Rodriguez' name is attached Alex Rodriguez Mercedes-Benz in League City, TX. An Ad Age report cites Mercedes-Benz USA in saying that A-Rod owns "about half'" of the dealership. Mercedes, for what it's worth, isn't going to any to any lengths to distance itself from its dealership or its controversial namesake, saying, "We never promoted the fact that A-Rod owned a dealership, so there's really nothing to 'distance' ourselves from. And since his activity is not illegal but rather prohibited by MLB, there's nothing actionable here."
With the scandal still a fresh piece of news and A-Rod's pending appeal, it's difficult to tell what sort of effect, if any, his name will have on the dealership's sales. Ad Age contacted the GM of Alex Rodriguez Mercedes-Benz to get the dealership's view, but no calls were returned. According to Mercedes, any name change is up to Rodriguez and his partner(s) at the dealership. Somehow, though, we think A-Rod has other things to worry about beyond his dealership's name.
