** Mercedes Benz 1982 300cd ~ Turbo Diesel Coupe ** The Ol' Gray Mare ** on 2040-cars
Palm Springs, California, United States
|
IF YOU ARE CHECKING OUT THIS CAR THE CHANCES ARE PRETTY GOOD THAT YOU KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT THEM...
This CLASSIC auto runs & drives beautifully... If you are looking for a "One-owner/Always-Garaged" SHOW car, well this Ol' Gray Mare IS NOT that car... You will pay 6K or 8K or even 10K or more for THAT car !!... (Check them out here on EBay, they are stunningly beautiful)... Here you found my old 1982 Mercedes 300CD TURBO diesel that has been driven daily and well utilized !!... Still an exceptional 32 year old USED car with 182k miles on it... And although there is a list of upgrades and repairs yet to be done, she still DRIVES GREAT !!...I bought this car as a project car to make a cross country tour from Palm Springs CALIFORNIA to St Pete's FLORIDA because I wanted a truly reliable ride to get me there and back without worry... And I can tell you for sure that I made that 5000+ mile excursion in style with lots of thumbs up along the way... I averaged 25 MPG WITHOUT the aid of any cruise control or air conditioning... Cosmetically, upon close examination you are gonna see all the little flaws of a well USED automobile...(The further back you stand, the better she looks... lol)... The top 3 things that are not working and still need to be worked on are the A/C, the sunroof and the cruise control... There is no major body work to be done, but could use a new paint job... One picture is of the worst damage to the body on the front passenger fender, however there are more scratches and blemishes to work out... The interior is in fair shape with some break thru on the drivers seat material... I do have replacement bumpers that I have not yet installed that will go with the car along with a few other minor spare parts... The dash has been covered with a molded dash cap... If you would like to see more pics of any specific part of the car please ask for it... She is not real fast out of the gate... But once she warms up she glides on down the highway at 75 MPH with plenty of power... Like most 30+ year old diesels, she drips a little oil and burps a little smoke here and there... But the engine and tranny are working fine... I only have the short term records of the things that I have done with the car that have been mostly cosmetic... The tires are cheap but only about 6k miles on them... The tags are good thru September 2014... This car will make a great daily driver but really shows its worth when cruising at higher speeds... You probably know that Mercedes built the gorgeous W123 series coupe from 1978 -1985 and only from 1982-1985 with the turbo-charged diesel engine . Only 8007 of these wonderful cars were made... This car was finished in silver grey (since been painted over) with blue interior... These well engineered W123 series cars have a long standing reputation for their reliability and are known to go for over 500k miles and still be running well... I am told this car would also be a perfect candidate for a bio diesel conversion where you could drive it on vegetable oil... Would be great to sell to a local buyer that can check everything out before buying... I do have it listed for sale locally so it is subject to sale before the end of the auction... Come check it out and see for yourself what is new & what is old... Test drive it !!... Make an Offer !! Buyer's Inspection Every

Mercedes S-Class Magic Body Control ad is clucking awesome
Tue, 24 Sep 2013This is a new ad from Mercedes-Benz. At no point does it show an automobile. Instead, it stars animals, but not the sort you might normally see in car commercial. This ad is all about chickens. It is bizarre, to say the least, with Diana Ross and the Supremes belting it out in the background, but it all kind of comes together when you realize just what Mercedes is hawking (yeah, pun intended).
It's for the manufacturer's Magic Body Control, found on the new S-Class. The system basically analyzes the road and prepares the suspension accordingly, leading to a ride that is, in the words of our own Chris Paukert "nothing short of spooky." You can read about it in our full review of the 2014 S550. Take a look below for the 53-second spot.
2013 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT Coupe
Thu, 31 Jan 2013
Mercedes-Benz upgraded its SLS flagship Coupe and Roadster for the 2013 model year, and the changes are marked with them new "GT" nomenclature. Both SLS models arrive with a retuned naturally aspired 6.2-liter V8 delivering 583 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque (the horses are up from 563, but the torque remains the same) mated to a revised seven-speed AMG Speedshift dual-clutch gearbox. Rounding out the mechanical upgrades is a redeveloped AMG two-mode adaptive suspension. Physically, the revised models are differentiated by their new "GT" badging, darkened headlight/taillight buckets, red brake calipers, unique wheel colors and high gloss finish on the front grille, exterior mirrors and hood/fender fins. Inside the cabin are new red seatbelts, Alcantara upholstery and contrasting red stitching.
As it is nearly impossible to experience the aluminum gullwing beast on public roads, Mercedes invited out to Southern California's Willow Springs to wring out the 2013 SLS GT Coupe on a racing circuit.
Missouri Mercedes dealer offering free Smart with every SLS AMG purchase
Wed, 05 Dec 2012The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT is an exquisite sports car that probably needs no help flying off dealer lots, even with a starting price of almost $200,000, but Mercedes-Benz of Kansas City has come up with an interesting incentive to sweeten the deal. For buyers who purchase a new SLS AMG from dealer stock before the end of the year, the dealership is throwing in a new Smart Fortwo from its inventory at no charge... with a required coupon no less.
In addition to being a great tactic to get a little free press, the spare car also makes sense as an alternative to the SLS, which measures more than 15-feet long - almost twice the length of a Fortwo - and has a 563-horsepower engine that sucks down gas at the rate of 13 miles per gallon in city driving (and even that's provided you don't give in to the devil on your shoulder). Plus, at the end of the day, this really isn't that big of an incentive. Being given a slow-selling $12,490 car for the purchase of a model starting at $199,500 represents about a six percent incentive, which is along the lines of a $1,900 rebate for a $30,000 car.
To get the free Smart, just visit the Mercedes-Benz of Kansas City Facebook page, redeem the coupon and then go buy yourself a new SLS AMG. Congratulations!
