** 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...

2015 Mercedes C-Class order guide leaked
Wed, 23 Apr 2014We may not have an official starting price for the 2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class, but as of right now, we can tell you about all the options for the eagerly anticipated new luxury sedan.
Benz Report has the entire order guide for the C-Class, with breakdowns from package pricing to how many different colors, wheel designs and lighting configurations will be available when the new model hits dealers later this year. As we mentioned in our initial review of the C-Class, there will be a pair of engine options, with the now familiar 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder available in both rear- and all-wheel-drive configurations and a 3.0-liter, twin-turbocharged V6, which can be had in all-wheel drive, only.
From there, though, the available options are impressive. Much like it does on the current car, Mercedes is offering a pair of packages that sort of define the entire car. With the C300, buyers will have the choice of either a Sport or Luxury package in addition to the base trim, while C400 buyers are limited to the Sport model.
Mercedes-Benz CLA stars in sweeping short with supermodel Karlie Kloss
Wed, 16 Jan 2013The Mercedes-Benz CLA earned itself a spot on our list of the top five unveils of the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, and for good reason. The German luxury compact is the first small car from the Silver Arrow that looks suitably premium inside and out. Nowness.com has turned out a new video of the CLA featuring super model Karlie Koss in the lead role. We aren't entirely sure what the premise is, but from what we can tell, it looks as if the CLA comes to life and proceeds to be a giant jerk.
After Koss stops to take a closer look at a white horse, the CLA gives the supermodel the old stop-and-go treatment before leaving her on the side of the road. Eventually, the sedan makes nice, but Koss has to ride shotgun instead of taking the controls herself. You can check out the video below to see for yourself.
Mercedes making aggressive plans for Chinese market
Wed, 28 Aug 2013Mercedes-Benz is preparing a major product offensive to counteract lagging sales in the Chinese market, aiming 20 new or updated models at the People's Republic in the next two years, according to a report by Reuters. The plan is part of MB's so-called 2020 Initiative, which will see the Stuttgart-based manufacturer dump 2 billion Euros ($2.67 billion) into its Chinese market vehicles in a bid to boost sales to 300,000 units by 2015.
Were it to succeed, China would become the largest market for the Silver Arrow, outpacing Germany and the United States. Leading the charge will be the redesigned E-Class, which is set to launch in China this week. That will quickly be followed by the S-Class, and eventually by the GLA-Class in 2014.
Mercedes has struggled in China, especially relative to its German competition, BMW and Audi. Where Mercedes saw a mere four-percent increase in 2012 sales to 206,150 units, Audi was up a staggering 32 percent, while BMW's numbers jumped 41 percent. While some voices, according to Reuters, accuse Munich and Ingolstadt of boosting their numbers through hefty incentives, the fact remains that Mercedes was just walloped by its competitors last year.
