1982 Mercedes-Benz 300SD.  5 cylinder diesel with an automatic transmission.  Approximately 250,000 miles.  Daily driver.  Starts, runs, drives fine.  I've owned this vehicle since 1997, and put about 118K miles on it in that time.  Other than routine maintenance, I've not had any issues with the car.  I bought it from a dealer, and I have quite a few maintenance records from the previous owners.  I was told that the transmission had been rebuilt at some point.  Since I've owned it, it's been kept in a carport.  For the past few years, it's been driven very little.  My oil change records show about 3K miles per year since 2006.


The car is not perfect, so please read carefully before bidding, look at all the photos, and ask questions.  The car is located in Lexington, KY.  You are welcome to look at it here, or contract with a local professional mechanic to check it over.  If you'd like me to take other photos, please ask.

Body:  paint is pretty good.  It was repainted at some point, and there are rust spots showing on the driver's door, at the right rear fender well and a few other smaller places.  See the photos. No collision damage, and to the best of my knowledge it's not ever had any bodywork (other than the repaint and a previous repair of rust spots).  Electric sunroof works.  Interior is fair.  Rear seats are in excellent shape, front passenger seats have cracks in the leather.  Dash has one crack on the driver's side.

Engine:  Starts fine, even in cold weather - block heater is installed for very cold conditions.  Runs fine. Oil pressure is good - photo of instruments is taken with the engine running.   Battery is new.

All five tires have good tread.

Here's a list of all the miscellaneous issues I'm aware of:

Dash lights are out
Power door locks don't work, but they work manually
Passenger side windshield wiper doesn't move.  It's stuck in the parked position.  Driver's wiper works fine.
Odometer quit moving a year or so ago.  It says 243315, but it has no more than 250,000.  Speedometer works fine.
No radio, but there's a space for one.  The original Blaupunkt quit some years ago.  Wiring is still in place.
Air conditioning is feeble at best
Left turn signal doesn't self-cancel
Slight clunk in the right front - I assume it's a ball joint.
A few missing plastic bits, such as the buttons on the end of the passenger's seat adjustment switch.

I would imagine that a thorough inspection by a professional mechanic would discover other things I'm not aware of, so please bid accordingly and if possible inspect the car in person or arrange for a local professional to check it out for you.  I've done my best to accurately represent the condition of this car, but I'm not an expert on this or any other car !

I'm also advertising the car locally, so I do reserve the right to end the auction early.  

Again, please ask if there are any questions.

Thanks for looking.

2017 North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year entries announced

Wed, Jul 6 2016

Over 40 vehicles will compete for the 2017 North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year awards. If that name looks a little strange, it's because the competition added a third category. In years past, pickup trucks, crossovers, SUVs, commercial vans, and minivans competed for the same award. That's why there were occasionally weird comparisons, like last year's competition between the Volvo XC90 and Nissan Titan XD. The new format separates pickups and commercial vans into the truck contest and CUVs, SUVs, and minivans into the utility competition. A complete list of eligible vehicles is below, but here are a few highlights. For one, the entire list of entries has a luxurious lean. Of the 43 vehicles, nearly half of them are from premium brands. There are two eligible Bentleys – the Bentayga and Mulsanne – the Rolls-Royce Dawn, Jaguar F-Pace, Audi Q7, and the Mercedes-Benz GLS-, E-, and S-Class Maybach. The performance ranks are lofty, too, with the Audi R8, Acura NSX, Alfa Romeo Giulia, Mercedes SL- and SLC-Class, Porsche 718, and F-150 Raptor. The mainstream entries are just as comprehensive. From the Chrysler Pacifica to the Chevrolet Cruze to the Fiat 124 Spider to the Mitsubishi Mirage, NACTOY has covered an enormous price range with this year's contestants. Of course, these are only the eligible vehicles. They'll need to run through three rounds of judging, starting in September at NACTOY's traditional Hell, MI, test drive. The Canadian and American journalists involved in the judging will announce this year's nine finalists – three in each category – on December 6.

Mercedes-Maybach Pullman stretches its way to Geneva

Wed, Feb 18 2015

Mercedes-Benz is known the world over for producing luxury automobiles, but even among Benzes there's a hierarchy. The S-Class sits at the top of the Mercedes range, the Maybach at the top of the S-Class, and what you see here sits at the top of the Maybach line. It's the new Pullman limousine, and it arrives on the 50th anniversary of the original. Stretching a massive 21.3 feet, the new Mercedes-Maybach Pullman is even longer than the previous Maybach 62 by a full foot, and a good 3.5 feet longer than the standard-wheelbase Mercedes-Maybach S-Class, or two feet longer than the G63 AMG 6x6. In other terms, it's over a foot longer than the Rolls-Royce Phantom EWB, and the better part of a yard longer than even the Cadillac Escalade ESV. Heck, you could just about fit Benz's other flagship, the Mercedes-AMG GT, inside the new Pullman's 14.5-foot wheelbase. As if that's not enough, it also stands 3.9 inches higher than a standard S-Class to the benefit of its imposing presence and interior space. Should you be so fortunate as to be graced with an invitation to step inside, you'd find an interior entirely clad in leather with four seats: two recliners and two fold-down seats facing backwards. Those principal rear seats can recline between 19 and 43.5 degrees and offer an extensive array of individual adjustments to cater just-so to the occupants' individual preferences. Ingress and egress are enabled by larger rear doors that open in front of – instead of next to – those rear seats to enhance the privacy of the traveling dignitaries, who will be able to monitor the state of affairs through the analog thermometer, speedometer and clock mounted in the roof liner. They'll also enjoy privacy thanks to the electrically operated glass partition wall with an 18.5-inch monitor mounted in front of it and a choice of Burmester sound systems. Long the favorite of heads of state and captains of industry, the new Pullman will be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show now just weeks away. We don't doubt that Mercedes will offer its customers a choice of engine options (as long as they're capable of motivating the new Pullman's assuredly substantial heft), but most suitable to the task will of course be the 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12 with its 523 horsepower and 612 pound-feet of torque.

Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 teases gullwing doors in video

Tue, Aug 16 2016

Because these are the times we live in, automakers tease their biggest and best debuts mercilessly before finally dropping the curtain. That's why we're writing about the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 Concept again. Here's a new video, posted on Mercedes' Instagram page, showing even more of the hulking two-door coupe. For one, it looks like Mercedes is revisiting gullwing doors. There's a brief snippet of the doors in the open position with a red light – possibly a brake light – bisecting the roof. The video also gives us a couple of good looks at the taillights, which are super-model skinny, just like the lamps up front. Look close at the rear three-quarter cut, and you'll spot a strong chrome strip that accentuates and breaks up those beefy rear haunches. It's hard to tell where they fit in with the chrome strips on the front fenders and hood, so we'll probably need to wait until the big debut to see how it all works out. As we've said twice already, the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 debuts on August 18. Stay tuned. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.
