This ad is for a 1983 Mercedes-Benz 300D turbo-diesel. The car was originally silver and when I purchased it, I had it painted in Mango Green, which is a rare, but factory color for Mercedes of this vintage.
The car overall has a nice interior, and the seats are very comfortable. I'd say that the seats are in better than average condition, considering the age of the car. The dashboard is in decent shape, and has only minor cracking. The car also has the original floor mats, and trunk mat.
The car runs well, and starts easily even in cold temperatures (even down to 3 degrees). The transmission is in good shape, and has clean, firm shifts.
I have done a lot of work to the car since I've owned it, including many new suspension components.
Work that has been done, or parts that have been replaced since I've owned the car:
-Exterior repainted in Mango Green in 2007
-New inner and outer front wheel bearings (total of 4)
-New Bilstein shock absorbers
-New steering damper
-New Goodyear tires (with less than 50 miles)
-New rear subframe bushings
-New tie-rods
-New front upper control arms
-New differential mount
-New front brake rotors
-New front brake calipers
-New front brake pads
-New air conditioning compressor, dryer, and expansion valve
-New right rear door seal
-New left side axle
-New right rear window motor
-New power window switches (the ones in the center console)
-New power steering fluid
-Differential oil changed
-Dynamat soundproofing on the trunk lid, under and behind rear seat, on parcel shelf, and on all four doors.
-Dynamat Hoodliner hoodpad
The car does have a few issues that need to be worked out.
The right side power windows are not currently working.
There is a minor leak inside the car. It is never enough to make any standing in the back of the car.
The car has the original radio, and it needs the code to work. The car doesn't currently have any speakers installed. The rear speaker openings in the parcel shelf were enlarged slightly, and so the original speaker grills do not cover the openings.
The car has some minor bubbling on the bottom of the front right fender, and on the bottom of the left rear fender. Otherwise the paint is in excellent shape.
The odometer isn't working, and hasn't since I've owned the car.
The windshield has large crack, and may need to be replaced to pass inspection.
The check-strap is missing on the right rear door.
The driver's seat cushion has spot where the vinyl has separated from the canvas backer. The vinyl is not in danger of peeling off, and the rest of the cover is in excellent shape.
However, the car as a whole is excellent considering the age.
The car has the upgraded H4 headlights, which are more modern and have a wider beam pattern than the sealed beam lights that this car came with originally.
The left side windows and sunroof work properly.
The car has no shakes, shimmies, vibrations, or rattles.
The headlights, marker lights, brake lights, and signal lights are all properly functioning.
All of the gauges are properly functioning.
Overall, this is a very solid car, in a very unusual color. I would not hesitate driving the car anywhere.

Forza Horizon announces January Recaro Car Pack with LFA N"urburgring Edition
Wed, 26 Dec 2012Another month, another car pack for Forza Horizon. This time it's the Recaro Car Pack featuring a motley gang of cars and trucks: the 1983 GMC Vandura G-1500, 1995 Ford Mustang Cobra R, 2012 Cadillac Escalade ESV, 2005 Mercedes-Benz SLR, 2012 Lexus LFA Nürburgring Edition and 2012 Lotus Exige S.
It'll be up for download on Xbox Live on Tuesday, Jan. 1, 2013 for 400 MS Points. As usual, if you have the Forza Horizon Season Pass you can get them all free, and Season Pass holders will also get a bonus car that's not pictured: the 2009 Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster.
The Pagani is everything opposite to that Vandura, but while you might not ever win anything with the van, you can always use the back of it as a place to give out free hugs. Check out the video and press release below for more details.
2015 Spanish F1 Grand Prix makes its Deutsche mark
Mon, May 11 2015The first race of the European Formula One season inaugurates the second phase of the Championship. Teams overhaul their cars with the big updates they've been working on since Australia, and at the end of The Battle of Spain we find out how the positions on the field have changed. Mercedes-AMG Petronas driver Nico Rosberg brought a big update to his psychology, straight-up beating teammate Lewis Hamilton to take his first pole position of the season. Mercedes owns the front row and Ferrari maintains its status as primary challenger, Sebastian Vettel lining up in third. Williams proved it's been hitting the books to do better in class, though, Valtteri Bottas slotting into fourth. And Toro Rosso's visit to a track that rewards strong aero rewarded them with the best team grid position since the Italian Grand Prix in 2008: Carlos Sainz secured fifth, ahead of Max Verstappen in sixth. Kimi Raikkonen's bout of Saturday woes – it seems the Finn is always handicapped by lots of tiny issues – continued in Barcelona with one of his sets of prime tires getting cooked by malfunctioning tire warmers. He recovered well enough to take seventh on the grid, but he's got some strong competition ahead of him. He led three other drivers in the Continuous Issues department, Daniil Kvyat unable to wrestle his Infiniti Red Bull Racing higher than eighth, Williams driver Felipe Massa getting it wrong in Turn 3 to fall five places behind his teammate Bottas, and Daniel Ricciardo in the second Red Bull enduring another engine change and sloppy car behavior to get tenth. And while it turned out to be a steady race a little rough around the edges, the positions on the battlefield just might have changed. A little. Of the 66 laps in the race we might have seen Rosberg for three of them – maybe. The German got a smashing start, had a clear lead into Turn 1, and after that we checked in occasionally during his two pit stops and again at the checkered flag. He owned the entire weekend the way we're used to seeing his teammate do, and the cameras left him alone to run his race. No one got within seven seconds of him during the first third, and as the pit stop strategies played out that cushion grew. He finished seventeen seconds ahead of Hamilton, and 45 seconds ahead of third-placed Vettel. Hamilton, on the back foot all three days, stumbled out of the gate.
In case you forgot, the Dubai Police supercar fleet is the coolest
Tue, Feb 10 2015Ever wonder why the Dubai Police have a fleet of vehicles worth millions and millions and millions of dollars? Why it has a Bugatti Veyron and a Bentley Continental and a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG with sirens and light bars? Well, here's the reason. This video shows the fleet on display on the Emirate's roads and highways, while also reaching out to the people the police are meant to protect. It's an impressive display of machinery, to be sure. Alongside the Bentley, Bugatti and Mercedes, we spy a Ferrari FF, a Brabus G-Wagen, a BMW M6, a Nissan GT-R, an Audi R8 and a McLaren MP4-12C (although the latest Dubai Police car, the Lexus RC F, is absent). The video even has a very cinematic look and feel to it, which works well with the night scenes and the blues-and-twos of the exotics cruisers.
