Up for sale is a 1983 Mercedes-Benz 300 SD. This is originally from Germany and was imported in 1983, purchased by a corporation. Has 3 service books up to 350000 miles on the car show maintenance and even has the customs record and metal stamp used to get the car here to the US.
I bought the car with just a little less mileage than shown on the odometer. It quit soon after... has been rebuilt once before. I have since added on about 6500 miles. The reason I am selling is that I have too many projects to make this another one. I wanted to murder it out since it's missing the MB emblems and has rough paint... but again, priorities.
Condition of the car:
Paint is worn (common for this year of car).
The engine runs rough when cold, and could be valve timing. I have heard that this is a regular maintenance issue and is relatively easy to do at home, but I am not a mechanic
Engine does not start easily in cold weather.
Engine leaves its mark (leaky seal) and it does eat a bit of oil - Jug of Rotella-T included.
Glowplugs are dead, but I have 5 new ones in box!!
I swapped out the injectors for others from a salvage vehilce with 270,000 miles... it runs a little rougher as they need cleaned out/driven on. Will include the old ones (one leaks and causes a knock)
Interior has some things that are in great shape... Trim on dash (real wood) is warped and hardly attached.
The vinyl around the doors is not tucked as was in factory.
The right rear windows tint is peeling away from window.
There are some stains on carpet.
The dashboard is cracked from sun damage.
Car is well worn.
Car does run, and down the highway, runs great! Hard starts after injector swap especially. Great project car!
Cruise control does NOT work, but all of it is there. It is disconnected from the motor.
Air conditioner does NOT work... needs drained and recharged.
Right rear electric window sometimes will get stuck. Don't know if it's the relay or the motor or electrical connection.
Everything else works pretty good!
Mileage:
Odometer reads 442,275, but it does not work currently. There are about 6,500 more miles on the car than displayed.

Guages:
Forgot to mention. Tachometer sometimes kicks in, but usually is out. The cable is worn out.
Oil pressure always reads off the chart. Engine has good oil pressure though.
Fuel gauge varies. Sometimes it's right, sometimes it's wrong. The little warning light is ALWAYS RIGHT!

Mercedes dealers authorized to spend $2,500 on perks for S-Class customers
Mon, 02 Dec 2013If you drop $100,000 on a luxury sedan, it seems only reasonable to receive some preferential treatment at the dealership you purchased from. After all, that price isn't just for the car - you're paying for the brand and all the cachet that entails. For Mercedes-Benz, those benefits have apparently been lacking relative to the German brand's luxury competitors.
That's set to change, though, as Automotive News reports that the German brand is placing a much greater emphasis on keeping its customers happy and loyal with its MB Select program. Starting with the new S-Class and spreading to the CLA-Class (and eventually beyond), dealers are being given money - up to $2,500 in the case of the flagship sedan - just to improve the customer experience.
We agree, improving the "customer experience" is quite a vague term, so it's nice that Mercedes USA's CEO, Steve Cannon, offered up some examples to AN at the LA Auto Show. For example, a customer couldn't fit his sunglasses into the overhead compartment. "So we bought him a pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses that fit because of their shape," Cannon said.
New Mercedes Unimog debuts to the cheers of little boys everywhere [w/video]
Sat, 27 Apr 2013The Mercedes Unimog, the superhero villain of the off-road world that's just waiting to make the jump to Transformer, has been completely upgraded for its new generation. There are ten models, expanding the range and getting new designations across the traditional all-terrain series and the implement-carrier series. Panoramic cabins get more visibility, multifunction steering wheels and better dash clusters, improved HVAC and a three-mode central tire inflation system. Outside, there are new items like LED headlights and daytime running lamps in the bumper, roof-mounted windshield wipers and a front-camera monitor for the implement carrier.
The new engine lineup is compliant with Euro VI, featuring four- and six-cylinder BlueEfficiency engines putting out anywhere from 156 horsepower to 354 hp. Powerplant placement has also been tweaked, the chassis members getting a revised curve to place the engine a bit further back and lower, maintaining off-road clearance and lowering the Unimog's center of gravity. The new location of the engine means the cabin has more room, and the wheelbase is shorter. Combined with a higher turning angle, the Unimog has a smaller turning radius than before.
The implement carrier gets what's called a "synergistic traveling drive," the bonus being that drivers don't need to stop in order to use an attachment - a hydrostatic transmission works with the regular manual transmission at up to 31 kilometers per hour for seamless switching.
New Mercedes-Maybach concept set to debut at 2018 Beijing Motor Show
Fri, Apr 13 2018Mercedes-Maybach builds some of the most kitted out and opulent production cars in the world. Think of the Maybach S 560 and S 650 as a Mercedes S-Class taken to the next level of luxury. Today, Mercedes-Maybach revealed a new teaser for what looks like a concept for a new EV. The car is set to debut in just a few weeks at the 2018 Beijing Motor Show. This might be the Maybach SUV we reported on a few weeks back. It's difficult to make out too many details, but it definitely looks different than the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 that we've seen floating around for the past couple of years. A close-up shot of the steering wheel shows the soft blue glow that Mercedes has put on the EQ-branded concept cars. Other images show clean white leather, rose gold trim and a pair of seats flanking a flower-encrusted panel. All the shots appear to be of the concept's interior, so we can't say for sure that this is the rumored Maybach SUV. Either way, it's sure to be just as luxurious and formidable as anything the automaker currently has on the road. We're hoping they come up with another G-Class Landaulet.
