1981 Mercedes-benz 300td Touring - Excellent Condition, Very Clean Car on 2040-cars
Downey, California, United States
|
Selling a 1981 Mercedes-Benz 300TD in fantastic mechanical and cosmetic condition. Starts instantly, runs and drives beautifully. Transmission doesn't shift harshly like on so many other diesel Mercedes of this era, instead it's very smooth. Turbo spools nicely and makes very decent power. Options like Cruise Control and Power Door locks work perfectly. Seats show almost no signs of wear at all, and are soft and supportive, not hardened or faded AT ALL, no sagging springs either. The floor carpet was removed and replaced with rubber mats for durability. Trunk area carpet is still intact and in very good condition. I have the spare tire cover (not pictured) Has one oil stain, that would probably come out with some scrubbing. Blaupunkt Portland stereo installed and working.
Exterior is in very very clean and tidy condition for an original car of this age. Has one small dent above the tail light, and some scratches here and there, but nothing major, and no structural rust AT ALL. Not even the jack points are rusty. Always a California car, spent it's life in Montecito. Rear hydraulic self-leveling suspension works fine, doesn't sag or bounce. Original Hirschmann antenna still works but seems to need a new mast. Still wears it's blue and yellow original CA plates, and Mercedes-Benz of Beverly Hills license plate frame. Brakes and tires still have a good amount of life left in them. Great reliable car, would not hesitate to drive it cross country. The only issues it has, are that the driver's side window is stuck closed, and the A/C system needs to be recharged (verified, has an R134a retrofit notice sticker). No other issues. Clean title. I do have service records for the car, it has had thousands worth of work done in the last 10 years or so. Please don't hesitate to call me with any questions you might have prior to bidding.

Mercedes leads in US luxury car thefts
Wed, 31 Jul 2013Mercedes-Benz makes some fine automobiles. The Silver Arrow'd cars are so good, apparently, that thieves can't help but try to steal them. The German brand is at the top of the charts for luxury car thefts in the US, according to the National Insurance Crime Bureau, with New York City leading the way. (And those New Yorkers complain about Detroit being bad!)
The C-Class was the most stolen model, with 485 ganked between 2009 and 2012 in NYC alone, while the E-Class and S-Class (which also boasted the worst recovery rate, at 59 percent) both finished in the top ten. Following the C-Class was the BMW 3 Series and Infiniti G. Not surprisingly, each of these were the most common models in their respective lineups. Los Angeles and Miami are also prime hotspots for luxury car thefts, according to the Detroit News report.
While getting your car stolen is pretty awful, there was one inspiring statistic compiled by the NICB - the average recovery rate across the board was 84 percent, with the Cadillac CTS getting recovered 91 percent of the time.
Gullwing America turns SLS AMG Roadster into stunning 1955 300 SC redux
Thu, 14 Feb 2013Gullwing America specializes in what it calls "retro styling meets modern technology." It's next demonstration of that is the convertible above, a stylized recreation of the 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SC (inset) supported by the structure of a 2012 SLS AMG Roadster. Commissioned by a client in Eastern Europe, the resulting car is called the 300 SLC.
The hand-formed aluminum bodywork required just a few changes to the SLS AMG Roadster, namely reworking the headlights into a stacked arrangement of LEDs and relocating the pop-up spoiler behind the cabin. The retro grille and long, straight hood evoke the past, the custom exhaust, height-adjustable suspension, 21-inch wheels up front and 22-inch wheels in back, however, stray a little further from history. The 300 SLC will come with a hardtop and be one-of-a-kind, making it even rarer than its inspiration, of which 92 were made.
If you have any more questions, they can probably be answered in the high-res photo gallery above and press release below.
2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class lineup shows its freshened face
Mon, 14 Jan 2013Mercedes-Benz showed us its redesigned 2014 E-Class more than a month ago, but the Detroit Auto Show finally gave us a chance to see the full family of mid-size luxury cars and wagons in the flesh. Dieter Zetsche introduced the cars, including sedan, coupe, convertible and station wagon, on stage showing the stylish new design direction.
The wagon and sedan versions (shown as the E400 Hybrid above) will go on sale this spring, while the coupe and cabriolet will hit showrooms over the summer. Check our new gallery of live shots for the entire 2014 E-Class lineup, as well as the previously released press release below.
