This 1984 Mercedes Gelandewagen is a rare find. I had to put 1980 in the listing title because Ebay's system won't take the vin. It runs and drives very well. It was owned by the same family for the last twenty years or so, and has been well maintained and garaged. It still has its original paint and interior, and while not perfect, it still looks pretty good. There is some bubbling of the paint; mostly on the drivers front fender. The passenger side is very clean with only one small bubbled area. The chassis shows no cancer I have seen from underneath other than the pan that sits under the gas tank. The dual overhead cam straight six with fuel injection starts easily and runs excellent. The transmission shifts perfectly, and the steering and brakes feel very good. Here are some highlights:

 

Matched set of four like New Mastercraft 30 x 9.50 x 15 tires mounted on BBS aluminum wheels

Bilstein mono-tube shocks on all four corners

Weather-stripping, door, windshield, and side glass rubber all in amazing original condition

Original First Aid Kit included with factory sealed, complete bandages, scissors, ect. all labeled in German

Glass all in very nice condition with easy rolling door glass. Windshield does have two small chips, but no cracks.

Exhaust could be original, but it has no holes, and sounds good

Gauges, lights, four wheel drive, axle lockouts, blinkers, wipers, heater ect., have all been checked and work correctly.

The auxiliary gas heater has not been checked out, but the controls are all there.

The speedometer reads out in kilometers, 100 km is around 60 mph. The odometer does not work

Radio works, but needs knobs

Comes with original owners manual

 

I was going to paint this car Black, and have the wheels powder coated black, but time constraints have shifted my priorities, so someone is going to get a great rig to drive the way it is, or to restore and sell for a profit. You just can't go wrong with a G Wagon. I am including a video with close-ups of the paint bubbles, as well as a test drive. It will come with a clear, numbers matching Oregon State title in my name. It has current registration and is ready to be driven. I have described the car to the best of my ability, but it is a used car, and as such it will be sold "as-is" There is an inspection service E-bay has available thru a second party that can come look the car over, and I will be happy to show it to serious buyers. I will need a 500 dollar deposit by way of Paypal immediately following the auction, with the balance due in the form of cash, cashiers check, or bank transfer. Checks will need two weeks to clear. Attention California buyers; You may not be able to get this car registered due to the smog testing in your state. I may have overlooked something, but I will answer all questions or concerns in a timely manner. Good luck bidding, TJ

Leopard walks in, shuts down a Mercedes-Benz plant

Tue, Mar 29 2022

In recent months the auto industry has seen plant closures due to a host of reasons — parts shortages, recalls, natural disasters, and even a once-in-a-lifetime pandemic. Now it can add to that list the threat of an invading leopard. A Mercedes-Benz factory in Pune, India, was forced to halt production for a few hours when a wayward jungle cat wandered into the facility, When the 3-year-old male leopard was spotted inside the manufacturing unit of the factory, it caused a panic among workers, according to a release by rescue organization Wildlife SOS discovered by The Drive. The site was shut down for about six hours as a Wildlife SOS rapid response team from the Manikdoh Leopard Rescue Centre and the State Forest Department safely removed the curious cat. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. The team's veterinary officers Dr. Nikhil Bangar and Dr. Shubham Patil carried out the rescue operation, tranquilizing the feline and loading it into a wildlife carrier. The rescue took about four hours, and Wildlife SOS reports that neither the creature nor any workers sustained injuries. The leopard was released back into the wild.  No one is quite sure how it got onto the factory grounds, but Wildlife SOS says that the forests in the surrounding region have one of the highest densities of leopards in the world. It's also suffering from rapid deforestation. That encroachment by humans has led to a decrease in the leopard's natural prey as well, so wildlife experts think it may have been looking for food.  The Mercedes plant builds the Maybach S 560, S-Class, E-Class Long Wheelbase, C-Class, CLA, GLA, GLE and GLS for the Indian market.  We have a different theory. We believe that the cat was seeking to set the record straight with Mercedes. When the S 65 AMG debuted, Mercedes claimed it featured the world's first Road Surface Scan technology to detect pavement undulations and adjust suspension damping accordingly. The only problem with that claim: Nissan had the technology some 30 years earlier in several mid-80s models, including the Maxima and Japan's version of the Infiniti M30, which was called — you guessed it — the Leopard. 

E.U. executive conditionally approves Daimler, BMW car-sharing deal

Wed, Nov 7 2018

BRUSSELS — The European Union's competition authority said on Wednesday it had approved the plan of German luxury carmakers Daimler and BMW to combine their car-sharing businesses, subject to conditions. Under the deal, which includes car-sharing units Car2Go and DriveNow as well as ride-hailing, parking and charging services, Daimler and BMW will each hold 50 percent stakes in a joint venture. They have offered concessions to address E.U. antitrust concerns over the deal they hope would let them better compete with U.S. rival Uber and China's Didi Chuxing. The European Commission has found the deal would raise competition concerns for free-floating car sharing services in Berlin, Cologne, Duesseldorf, Hamburg, Munich and Vienna. It said Daimler and BMW agreed to a remedy package in the six cities. "The commitments thus fully address the Commission's concerns as they will reduce the barriers to entry for competing free-floating car sharing providers," the Commission said in a statement. "Therefore the Commission concluded that the proposed transaction, as modified by the commitments, would no longer raise competition concerns. The Commission's decision is conditional upon full compliance with the commitments." Reporting by Gabriela Baczynska and Philip Blenkinsop. Related Video:

Daimler rebuffs Geely offer to buy stake

Wed, Nov 29 2017

HONG KONG/BEIJING - Daimler AG has turned down an offer from China's Geely to take a stake of up to 5 percent via a discounted share placement, as the German automaker has long been reluctant to see existing shareholdings diluted, sources with knowledge of the talks said. A stake of that size would be worth $4.5 billion at current market prices. Although Daimler declined the offer, it told Geely it was welcome to buy shares in the open market, the sources added. Carmakers in China have embarked on a flurry of dealmaking, as they scramble to boost production of electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles ahead of tough new quotas to be imposed by Beijing, which wants to reduce urban smog and lower the country's reliance on oil. People with knowledge of Geely's thinking said the company was keen to access Daimler's electric car battery technology and wanted to establish an electric car joint venture in Wuhan, the capital of Hubei province. Geely, which also owns Swedish car maker Volvo, is still hopeful it can secure a deal in some form over the coming weeks, they added. The two automakers met in Beijing in recent weeks at Geely's behest. There, the Chinese firm, formally known as Zhejiang Geely Holding Group, offered to take a stake of between 3 percent and 5 percent if Daimler would issue new shares at a discount, the sources said. It was not immediately clear what kind of discount for the shares Geely had in mind or whether Geely was interested in buying the shares on the open market. A spokesman for Geely declined to comment. A spokesman for Daimler said the company was "very happy with our shareholder structure at present", but added that it would welcome new investors with a long-term interest in the company. Shares in Daimler were up 1 percent in early Wednesday trade, in line with the broader market.DAIMLER ALREADY TIED TO BAIC, BYD Geely, which has a market value of some $32 billion, is the leading domestic brand in China with a 5 percent market share, according to an analysis by Nomura Securities. A stake of 5 percent would establish it as Daimler's third-largest shareholder behind the Kuwait Investment Authority and BlackRock, who hold 6.8 percent and 6 percent respectively, according to Reuters data.
