1985 Mercedes Benz 300d Diesel Automatic Cream Color 300d 4dr Sedan Rwd A4 on 2040-cars
Oakland, California, United States
1985 300D DIESEL : This car's VIN listed is correct - do a google search on VIN check and it comes up - Im not sure why ebay can't find it. It has a clear title of which I have ready to transfer to new owner and 2 keys for the vehicle. We've had the car since 2011
The Good: 1. Starts up every time and nice clean body 2. Electrical components are working: sunroof, vacuum lock system recently adjusted at mechanic shop, power windows, wtc. 3. Working Air Conditioning (we had it professionally replaced in summer 2012 with new a/c unit AND replaced climate control unit in car - so both functioning to provide A/C and heating) 4. Upgraded stereo speakers, ipod adapter (just plug it in and ur grooving!) AND removeable stereo interface for security. 5. Tires: Lots of tread on tires (all replaced in Dec of 2012) They are Spen Touring 60,000 miles tires that also have hazard protection for 3 years (so until Dec 2015) on them from BIG O' Tires (for nails n things) plus free tire rotation with life of tires 6. Lots of work put into the car including new control arms, tie rods, new battery (Feb. 2012), replaced diesel transfer hoses (summer 2013) fixing leaks, glow plugs, hoses, new bosch alternator (Feb. 2012), New Drive Belts (Feb. 2012) New rear brake pads & rotors (Nov. 2011), New front brake pads & rotors (May 2010) replaced strut rod bushings (2012) Not So Good: 1. Has a new leak (these cars seem to always leak) 2. The transmission appears to run "sluggish". We had our mechanic drive it around and he said "It's going to need a transmission tune-up". You're more than welcome to call the mechanic and ask if he has any other comments about it or cost. Its a professional mechanic shop in S.F Ca. (email for details) 3. The radiator was professionally replaced by the previous owner but our new mechanic said it appears to be a lot older than the install date. I called the mechanic about it and he was not helpful so the radiator may need some work down the line OR could get replaced by this mechanic if pushed. 4. The Glove Compartment (which was fixed once) doesnt stay closed - easy fix. 5. The passenger side mirror is missing (not the expensive part just the cheap insert of the actual mirror that is glued in) Value: This car has a lot of value in it; over $15,000 worth of parts & labor combined in past 5 years by us and previous owner. The a/c unit alone costs over $1,000 for parts, professional installation and warraty, new climate control unit over $200, the battery cost over $100, the new bosch alternator $220+, new tires $400+, the sound system (new speakers with ipod hook-up and removeable stereo face) countless other small parts like glow plugs, tie rods etc. In the event the new owner ever decides to stop driving it - this car qualifies for $1,000 in CA. for having it taken off the road. Per That's about it - it is a California car so rust is minimal if any (a tiny rust spot on hood of car from leaving the key on it for a week in the rain - so minor). It also comes with an extra passenger rear door that previous owner bought just because of a dent in the one currently on the vehicle. The interior is in pretty good shape too for its age. |

Fri, 22 Mar 2013In Which Mercedes' Sprinter Becomes A Long-Distance Sherpa
In the wintery wilds of northern Alaska, even the cute little critters want to kill you.
As I am about to nod off on my long leg flight from Minneapolis to Anchorage ahead of driving to the Arctic Circle, the friendly twenty-something Alaskan knitting furiously in the seat next to me pauses and says, "When you're driving up there, don't open your windows." In the dead of winter? I hadn't planned on cruising alfresco, but her warning to keep the glazing snugged against the weatherstripping is one I would take to heart. She continues: "If you leave 'em open, a fox is liable to jump right in. There are lots of rabid foxes up there, and they leap into your car and just Go. To. Town." And here I was, thinking that a curious bear or maybe an ill-placed moose in the road was going to be my biggest potential four-legged threat. In the wintery wilds of northern Alaska, even the cute little critters want to kill you.
2018 Range Rover Sport Coupe spied in Scotland
Wed, Jun 8 2016Sport utility vehicles are the rage. SUVs with coupe styling are pretty popular, too, as BMW and Mercedes have demonstrated. Now it's Land Rover's turn. Believed to be the upcoming Range Rover Sport Coupe, this ute was spied this week during top secret testing at a remote location in Scotland. The vehicle would slot between the Range Rover Sport and Evoque, giving Land Rover an answer to the Mercedes GLE and BMW X6. These shots show what appears to be a chopped roofline, giving the new model a sportier profile than the traditional upright silhouette of Rovers. We expect it will use a version of the aluminum Jaguar F-Pace platform and offer V6 and V8 engines. It could also offer a hybrid or full electric version. The new crossover might also be lower set in a bid to differentiate it from traditional Rovers and give it a performance vibe. The Range Rover Sport Coupe – or whatever it is ultimately called – would enter a strong segment that's found favor in the United States. Once derided for potentially offering less function than traditional utes, these lifestyle vehicles have developed a strong following for their style and capability. The X6 was so successful, BMW added the smaller X4, and this forced Mercedes to follow suit with the GLE and GLC coupe variants. In this context, it's about time for Land Rover to join the fray.

German carmakers recall 630,000 diesel vehicles in Europe
Fri, Apr 22 2016Mercedes, Opel, Porsche, and Volkswagen will recall over 630,000 cars in Europe, according to reports Friday. No diesel car has been able to get under the legal emissions limit in real-world driving, according to a German government investigation. While only Volkswagen Group has been using a specific "defeat device", other carmakers have been playing with their exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) systems. Depending of the manufacturer, the systems have been cut off at a certain temperature. In a specific test cycle the systems operate to fulfill the legal requirements, but in everyday use the limits are exceeded. According to the magazine Der Spiegel, the supplier Bosch is behind this programming and has provided it to all German automakers. The mentioned carmakers have announced recalls, but many other manufacturers are also mentioned by name in the report, including Alfa Romeo, Chevrolet, Dacia, Fiat, Ford, Hyundai, Jaguar, Jeep, Land Rover, Nissan, Renault, and Suzuki. PSA Group, which produces Peugeot, Citroen, and DS cars, declared yesterday that its offices were raided following an emissions investigation.
