1983 MERCEDES 300TD WAGON
Selling a 1983 Mercedes-Benz 300TD Station Wagon. The wagon is in good condition and has been on the West Coast it's entire life. It drives great and is extremely reliable. All in all a great car.
The transmission shifts nicely and has a lot of power. Currently the car has a rough idle due to a cylinder misfire. This does not affect the driving of the car. The rear stabilizing bar has been replaced as have the shocks. The self-leveling suspension is functioning well. Power windows are functioning as is the AC. Heater blows but not extremely hot. The power locks only work from time to time. Only when they want to I guess. (SEE ENGINE UPDATES FOR MORE INFO.)
Exterior is in good shape. Original paint. No rust. Not showroom but does show a few character lines after 30 years. All original glass and windshield. The car has brand new tires and MB 14" chrome bundt wheels. All new panel molding. Still turns heads while driving around town. I wash the car weekly and wax it every 3 months. (SEE EXTERIOR UPDATES FOR MORE INFO.)
Interior is extremely clean. Carpets are in great shape and console wood looks good. The dash is covered with a plastic mold that matches the interior color of the car. All of the seats are in good condition. The back passenger seat has a loose seam but is not a problem. The trunk carpet is in good shape and comes with a custom fit rubber mat. The headliner is brand new. Interior door panels are all in excellent condition. All seat belts work properly. All interior lighting is new and works properly. I detail the car weekly. (SEE INTERIOR UPDATES FOR MORE INFO.)
I bought the car from a dear friend 3 years ago and have updated a few things since I have owned the vehicle.
ENGINE UPDATES:
New R&R Power Steering Pump.
New Injector Overflow Hoses.
New Air Filter bracket.
Valves adjusted and tightened.
New filters.
Reconfigured the vacuum system. (This helps the performance of the AC and actually makes the power locks work occasionally.)
INTERIOR UPDATES:
New headliner.
New stereo with CD player, USB port and auxiliary jack. Two new front speakers and two new back speakers.
AC is in excellent working condition. (Just gave it a freon boost and blows ice cold.)
New ashtray and working cigarette lighter.
All new window and hazard buttons in center console.New side door ashtrays in back.
New cargo nets and trim on back of front seats.
New visor clips.
New front and back interior lights.
EXTERIOR UPDATES:
Replaced all of the door and roof seal gaskets. (The car has no leaks. This does however make the sunroof non functioning.)
Replaced all of the panel molding around the car.
New tires. (Less than 50 miles on all of them. Spare is properly sized with rim.)
New MB 14" chrome bundt wheels with center caps.
New Hella headlight upgrade.
Thank you for viewing this listing. I hope this car finds a lovely home.

Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric Drive gets official US launch
Mon, Jul 21 2014It's finally time to plug in the first production Mercedes-Benz-branded electric vehicle in the US. The Daimler division, which also sells a few of its battery-electric Smart ForTwo vehicles here in the states, has officially launched sales of the Mercedes-Benz B-Class ED. Even better, the US will be the first market in the world to give the general public access to the new plug-in. As with many other EV debuts, the flyover states will have to wait a bit. Mercedes-Benz is only selling the B-Class ED in 10 coastal states, including California, Oregon, New York, New Jersey, Maryland and Maine, and hasn't said anything about when a broader release might happen. Earlier this month, the US Department of Energy rated the B-Class electric with an 87-mile single-charge range, which is comparable to that of the Nissan Leaf and BMW i3. The other shoe dropped, though, when it was revealed that the model has an 84 miles per gallon equivalent rating, which is about 30 percent less then both of those other EVs. The culprit for the model, which puts out 177 horsepower and has a base price of $41,150, is its heavier curb weight. Check out Autoblog's "First Drive" impressions here.
Mercedes CLA45 AMG Racing is ready for a spot on the grid
Tue, 10 Sep 2013Mercedes-Benz trotted out its CLA45 AMG-based racer at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show. We first showed you the sedan in the deluge of news and reveals that precedes most good auto shows, and were blown away by the car, formally known as the CLA45 AMG Racing Series.
We were strolling by the Mercedes stand, and figured we'd pop in and take a look at the new racer and its carbon-fiber body panels, gutted interior, and race-sourced aero parts. It's a looker, both as a road car and a track weapon. It's not clear what series the CLA45 AMG will qualify for, although it does seem like a shoe-in for the World Touring Car Championship. Let us know what you think of the CLA racer down in the comments. In the meantime, we've got a full gallery of live images up top, along with the stock images that were posted last week on the Mercedes-Benz Facebook page.
2016 Mercedes-Maybach S600 First Drive
Mon, Jan 19 2015Imagine the audacity: during the salad days of the early 2000s, the company that invented the automobile – already synonymous with class-leading luxury – sought to further expand its portfolio by crashing the ultraluxury party. Going up against the likes of Rolls-Royce and Bentley, Mercedes-Benz traded its unmistakable Three-Pointed Star for a Mighty Mouse-like logo, exhuming a stately, long-dead German marque originally founded in 1909. The long-wheelbase Maybach 62 listed at an epic $360,000, while later spinoffs included curiosities like the nearly $700,000 Zeppelin, and a roofless, seven-figure limousine dubbed Laundaulet. By the time the financial bubble finally burst in 2008, the brand's fate was all but sealed, with US sales dropping into the double digits. It limped along another four years, but when the nameplate finally went kerplunk, it left behind it a trail of disappointed movers, shakers, moguls and rappers. The perfect postmodern metaphor for the brand's funeral pyre? Kanye West and Jay-Z's Otis music video, in which a perfectly fine Maybach is chopped and deconstructed, flames spewing out the tailpipes as it powerslides through an empty parking lot. Meet The (Sorta) New Boss Rising from the ashes of hubris is the 2016 Mercedes-Maybach S600, a recalibrated stab at high-end luxury with a startlingly similar, yet different, approach to its forbear. Like the last go, the new sled features a significantly longer wheelbase, which stretches 8.1 inches over the standard S600. Additional sound damping helps it claim the quietest rear cabin in all of production automobiledom, and posher trim bits include a rim of wood surrounding the reclining rear seats. Among the livery-focused special features is a rearview mirror-mounted microphone to amplify the driver's voice, an available rear fridge, and an executive seat package with folding tray tables. The super high-end hallmarks are there – a twin-turbo V12 dispatching sub-5 second 0 to 60 times, a stunning 24 speaker Burmester sound system, double-M branded silver plate champagne flutes, et al. – but the hyperinflated price tag is not. Starting at $189,350, roughly half the cost of the old flagship, the new Maybach isn't even the most expensive Mercedes-Benz you can buy. That distinction goes to the S65 AMG Coupe, which empties your coffers to the tune of $230,900.
