Up for sale is my 1978 MB 300CD. This is truly a beautiful and remarkable car especially for being 36 years old. It currently has 191k on it and this will increase slightly as it is currently being driven a few times a week around town (Diesels need lovin', not neglecting'). This is the first year that MB introduced the OM 617 engine with the W123 Chassis which has since proved to be a historic and bomb-proof combination known for their longevity and durability....so at 191k it's only barely getting broken in.
Car is in excellent shape and gets compliments from every where I go including the Mercedes mechanics, and I've yet to see one that isn't fully restored even close to as nice as this. It has been babied, garaged, and finely tuned for many many years now. All the power windows work as well as the heat and AC (practically unheard of for these older models). AC has also already been converted to R-134 from the old R-12 ($$$) and the compressor is really strong for the hot days or defrosting in the cold mornings. All basic maintenance is up to date, fresh oil change, fresh fuel filters (all three!), glow plugs, breaks, tires and also just had a new shifter installed (bushings and pin had worn down on the old one). Transmission is extremely smooth. 
Mechanically I'd give this car a 10/10...

Interior is also in excellent shape and has been well maintained and partially restored. I'd give it a 8.5/10. As you can see in the pictures, there is a little gash next to where the key ignition is and also the plastic panel on the driver side has started to separate some and It could probably use some new weather stripping around the doors to help reduce some wind noise. These are very minor and would be easy to fix. Factory radio has been removed but is still in tact and will come with with the purchase of the car if desired. 

Exterior as you can see is near perfect shape and I'd give a 9.5/10.

There is a stack of service records as well to go with it. Overall this car is in remarkable condition for being 36 years old and it has many many years of good driving left on it. Opinions or ratings on car are subjective so I would rather sell locally so that it can be appreciated in person before purchase however I'd be more than happy to assist with airport pick up or delivery of the vehicle which must be paid by the buyer. It is being sold as is. 

Please feel free to ask any questions...I work in a hospital and will do my best to answer promptly.

Russia gives its Olympic medalists new Mercedes

Thu, 27 Feb 2014

Russian medalists at the recently concluded Sochi Winter Olympics are being rewarded quite handsomely for their service to the Motherland. In addition to the $120,000 being handed out for each gold medal, the $76,000 being awarded for slivers and $52,000 given to bronze winners, now word has come out that each of Russia's medalists will be gifted a new Mercedes-Benz.
As with the prize amounts, the type of Mercedes offered was based on what sort of medal was won. Gold medalists got a new GL-Class, silver medalists were given an ML and bronze medalists were treated to a GLK. As prices for Mercedes are higher in Russia, the cheapest model, the GLK, was the equivalent of $59,500, according to The Moscow Times. The cars were handed out by Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, pictured above with figure skating medalist Julia Lipnitskaia.
"I was a bit shocked at the car I was given," Anton Shipulin, a member of the gold-medal biathlon relay team, told RIA-Novosti. "Of course I knew what kind of model it would be, but I didn't totally believe it." For athletes not old enough to drive, like 15-year-old Lipnitskaia, their Mercedes will come complete with a driver.
