1986 Mercedes Benz 300gd G Wagon on 2040-cars
Chapel Hill, North Carolina, United States
1986 production Mercedes 300GD Gelandewagen. This Mercedes was just delivered stateside by our supplier in Europe. We have imported many of these and this is easily the best driver. Most of the wagons from this era being advertised both here and abroad have been neglected for many years and/or suffer from serious rust issues. This unit is very nice and has very low mileage. It was cosmetically freshened several years ago and shows very well. The paint is what I would describe as very good, driver quality. The car has been driven and enjoyed so you should expect some typical minor faults. There are a few very small bubbles in several spots but are nothing that need any attention. The interior was updated with a very nice leather and suede seat combo, most of the interior panels and headliner were also done in suede. A carpet kit was fitted at the same time. Later Mercedes alloy wheels along with nearly new Michelin tires keep everything firmly planted on the ground. Mechanically, this Mercedes is exceptional. The 300 series MB diesel engine is one of the most reliable motors ever built with enthusiasts ranging from the ecologically minded bio diesel crowd to hard core off-roaders. Obviously, you aren't going to win any formula one races, but the huge amount of torque generated buy the diesel motor and gearing in the 5 speed box make for a very nice driver. Driving at freeway speeds is not a problem and drama free. Customs has become very strict with grey market imports over the last several years. There are numerous horror stories about cars being seized and destroyed. Lots of sellers will offer vehicles for sale that are still in Europe and leave you holding the bag if there are problems at the port. This Mercedes is already here in NC and has been imported in complete compliance with EPA and DOT regulations, all the import documents and certifications will be provided to the buyer at the time of purchase along with the European title and paperwork. We can assist with having a title issued here in North Carolina or in the state that the vehicle will ultimately reside. A local viewing and inspection is both welcome and encouraged with appointment. We are happy to help with shipping and freight logistics.
***Ebay does not recognize European VIN numbers. The Mercedes is a 1986 production model, not a 1980. |

X1, 3 Series power BMW back into global luxury autos sales lead
Thu, 14 Mar 2013BMW managed to eke ahead of Audi for the global luxury sales crown in February. According to Bloomberg, BMW saw deliveries swell by 7 percent in February, besting the 3.2 percent jump enjoyed by Audi and giving BMW a 407-unit delivery lead over its rival last month. Mercedes-Benz, meanwhile, continued to falter, with the brand selling some 37,229 fewer machines than BMW, whose factories are running at full capacity to keep up with demand. Models like the X1 (shown above) enjoyed a sales increase of 40 percent in February while the company's bread-and-butter 3 Series jumped by 26 percent.
Mercedes-Benz hopes to stem its continued market share loss with the addition of the entry-level CLA sedan to its portfolio in April. The company is set to roll out an updated version of its cash-cow E-Class at the same time, and a new-generation S-Class will follow along shortly thereafter. Meanwhile, the company is increasing production to meet demand for its A and B-Class models.
Boston bombers were tracked using Mercedes mbrace [w/video]
Sun, 28 Apr 2013We now know Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the two brothers said to be behind the Boston Marathon bombings, planned to head for New York City to detonate more improvised explosive devices. As it turns out, that plan was foiled by the quick thinking of one Mercedes-Benz owner, diligent police work and the Mercedes-Benz mbrace system. When the brothers carjacked a 26-year-old Chinese entrepreneur identified only as "Danny," they didn't realize his Mercedes-Benz M-Class was equipped with the mbrace system, which can call for help in the event of an accident or track the vehicle in the event of a theft.
According to reports, the Tsarnaev brothers held Danny hostage for nearly 90 minutes while they drove around Boston forming a plan until they had to stop for fuel. When one of the brothers went inside to pay, the other put his gun down for a moment. Danny took the opportunity to unlatch his seat belt, open the door and run to another nearby gas station, where he told the owner to call the police.
When police arrived, they used the mbrace system to track the SUV after receiving Danny's permission, and it wasn't long before a shootout between police and the brothers ensued. When it was over, the eldest brother lay dead in the street. For more on the story, view the video report available below.
