DESCRIPTION

Purchased:
Purchased new in Germany in 1982 by my father (So some of the abbreviations on the dashboard and dials are in German). Manuals and paperwork included. It was then handed down to me.

Exterior:
This classic Mercedes Benz 300D is powered by a 3.0 liter 5 cylinder turbo diesel engine. The paint is in fair condition with some imperfections (The clear coat is coming of in some areas. There is a small scrape on the passenger side doors) and scratches (30 years of wear and tear) with no rust on the body. It is painted in a Pastel Beige. Accented with a silver trim (Two pieces are missing. One on the driver side door that has dislodged but I still have. And one small piece located behind the rear door that has been lost altogether. Both of witch can be seen in the pictures). And this car has the original Mercedes Benz wheels that display the Mercedes 3 pointed star. Please take time to review all the photos and feel free to ask all the questions you like.
The car is in relatively good condition but has some issues that need to be addressed. And could be a collectable to someone who sees the true value in this rare and desirable classic Mercedes
Benz 300D.
 
Interior:
The interior is in original condition. The driver and passenger seat are in fair condition(The drivers seat has a broken spring as well as a hole in the middle. The passengers seat has a crack.), however the rear seats are crack at the top and could use some re-upholstering in order to bring it back to its full original glory. The dash is cracked and some of the wood trim is dislodged but the pieces are still on hand and can be reinstalled. One of the wood panels between the seats could be refinished. The headliner is in excellent condition. It is all original with a classic Palomino interior tailored with quality leather that makes driving this car an experience in luxury.
 
Mechanical:
This Mercedes Benz 300D is an exceptionally desirable car for many reasons. Along with being in a stunning un-molested (Never converted to bio diesel) all original state, this Mercedes is the rare 3.0 Liter 5 cylinder turbo diesel engine giving it unparalleled fuel mileage of its time, and even now it is respectable at 30 mpg combined making this car both visually appealing and desirable for those who enjoy great fuel mileage.  This car currently has 188,507 miles. The car has some difficulty with cold starts(Probably need the glow plugs replaced). It has a small oil leak. There is a problem with the vacuum system so the power locks don't operate properly however the windows still operate properly. The air conditioning system was replaced about 5 years ago but has recently stopped functioning. It has new breaks (Front and back). It has a new battery. The tires are fairly new and have 90-95% of the tread. 2 full-size spares with rims are included. However we are not mechanics.  This vehicle, despite its few flaws has a reputation for reliability, with these cars expected to last over 300,000 miles.

2020 Colorado Winter Driver's Notes | Behind the Wheel S02 // E12

Mon, Apr 6 2020

2020 Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 I’ve had bad luck with SUVs this winter. Especially performance ones. First, I got a 2019 Range Rover Sport SVR delivered on summers right as two feet of snow fell, rendering it undriveable. Then, coronavirus cancelled Easter Jeep Safari as well as my trip out to Moab in the 2020 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Diesel. Thankfully, when this 469 horsepower luxury mall crawler was dropped off, the sun shone down and the snow (mostly) held off.  The first thing that I noticed was there were a few blank buttons throughout the cabin, something that you may see in an entry model vehicle, but IÂ’m not accustomed to seeing in an AMG. Not a great look for a vehicle with an $80,000 price tag. Thankfully that was where the disappointment ended. As soon as you press the start button, the engine fires up and the exhaust note is incredible. Hopping on the highway ramp near my house, I floored it, and the biturbo V8 had me pressed back into the driver's seat, and this wasnÂ’t even the S version that our staff drove last year. Inside and out, the GLC 63 was everything youÂ’d expect from Mercedes. The interior was immaculate, and while the infotainment wheel and touch pad may take some getting used to for someone who isnÂ’t familiar, by now I have it down so that I can use it without looking. And while the V8 left me smiling ear to ear, I was most impressed by the amount of useable interior space there is. I happened to be moving at the time of this review and while all of my large furniture was shoved into the back of a moving van, I was able to fit almost everything else in the back of the GLC. 2019 and 2020 Fiat 500X Trekking ItÂ’s hard to say goodbye to an AMG and then turn around and be excited when a Fiat 500X pulls in your driveway (I know, I know, automotive journalist problems). That being said, when the red Fiat pulled up, I found myself admiring it. I am very familiar with the 500X. Back in 2016 Autoblog had one for a year as our long term test vehicle. I drove that car everywhere, multiple trips up north in Michigan, and even tracked it at Gingerman Raceway for a few laps before the brakes started smoking.  The 2019 model I had in my driveway and the 2020 model I drove in the snow up in the mountains feel very similar to that car. The interior is stylish and surprisingly roomy. The greenhouse is airy.

Mercedes-Maybach G650 Landaulet is the ultimate safari machine

Mon, Feb 13 2017

Update: A Mercedes representative has informed us that the Mercedes-Maybach G650 Landaulet will not be available in the United States. The text has been updated to reflect this. Vehicles such as the Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG 6x6 and G500 4x42 are all well and good, but they have one key issue: They simply aren't extravagant enough. Now we know that sounds insane because one of those vehicles has six driven wheels and the other is available in tennis-ball green. But they must not be decadent enough because Mercedes went a step further with the new Mercedes-Maybach G650 Landaulet. While the most obvious change here is the soft-top, which will make this perfect for the wealthy to view wildlife on private safaris, we should start under the hood. The previous two monster G-Wagens made do with lowly V8s. This one features a twin-turbocharged V12 making 630 horsepower and 738 lb-ft of torque. Like its predecessors, this G650 uses a four-wheel-drive system with front, center, and rear differential locks, and sends power to solid portal axles front and rear. These axles move the differential and drive axles above the wheel centers for additional ground clearance. Inside, the rear passengers will be in the lap of luxury, even while the driver is navigating particularly harsh terrain. The soft top can be electrically raised or lowered, as can a glass partition to the driver's compartment. The two individual rear seats can be fully reclined, and leg rests deploy from below, taking full advantage of the truck's long wheelbase. This would likely make for an amazing vehicle for stargazing. The passengers also have access to folding tables, 10-inch LCD displays, and heated, cooled, and illuminated cup holders. Only 99 of these G650s will be built. Mercedes will show the SUV at this year's Geneva show, and it will hit the market this fall. Mercedes hasn't announced pricing, but expect it to be exorbitant. Not that matters for American buyers, since a Mercedes representative told us it won't be offered in the States. For buyers in countries where the G650 will be available, they will have the option of four interior color schemes, three soft-top colors, and four paint hues. Related Video:
