1984 Mercedes 300d Diesel Bio Antique on 2040-cars
Portland, Maine, United States
84 Mercedes 300D. This is an incredibly strong running diesel that I've
run on BIO quite a bit. 287,XXX miles. It's my daily driver and I cart
my 20 month old daughter around in it daily. Very safe and although an
antique, I always have my cars state inspected. The little one is
getting not so little, so the need to upsize means my Benz has to go.
This car has been meticulously maintained and just gracefully made a
900-mile round trip, getting nearly 30mpg.
Hot heat, cold air, operating sun roof, beautiful interior (shocking with a 20 month old), clean trunk, paint still takes a shine with ease. A real head turner, cream puff, beaut, cherry, peach, all of those wonderful things. In all seriousness, this is a safe and great running car that I trust as a daily driver with my family and has never let me down. 4 studded Goodyear snow tires with less than 500 miles on them are also included, they cost me $500 less than 1 year ago. Tow package recently professionally installed and wired, but never used. New parts within the last year or so include, but are not limited to: Great Michelin Tires, rotated and balanced 100 miles ago Recent Alignment Brakes Rotors Suspension Parts Belts Hoses Water Pump Aux. Water Pump Thermostat Glow Plugs & Relay Block Heater Cord Climate Control Unit Blend Door Vacuum Switches Rebuilt Original Radio (tape deck) by orig. manufacturer Becker Autosound with custom, unobtrusive MP3 aux jack (must see to appreciate) Rear Subframe Mounts Rear Diff Mount Proper Diesel Purge Fuel Filers Fuel Lines Vacuum Pump Rebuild Vacuum Lines Steering Box Front License Plate Bracket Power Antenna New Headlamps Orig. Bosch Amber Fog Lamps The not fantastic but not awful: A little rust beginning rear quarters. Speedometer works great, though odometer just gave up the ghost - a $110 quote from speedometers.com for the fix. Some cracks in the dash Seam splitting in the driver's seat Rear power windows are inoperable Rear passenger power lock must be locked/unlocked manually. Car sold as is with no warranty written or implied. Bid with confidence, fly in and driver her home. I'll also help load if you decide to ship. I'm not trying to retire on this sale or complete my child's college fund, just get a start on getting something more suitable for a growing family. Feel free to ask any questions you have and I'll try to answer them to the best of my ability. |

Daimler opens the door on Car2go Black with B-Class carsharing
Sun, Feb 9 2014Mercedes-Benz parent Daimler has finally decided to go to its proverbial mothership to further expand its Car2go carsharing service in Europe. The German automaker has long used its itty-bitty Smart Fortwo vehicles for the program, but now it's kicking off a pilot program called Car2go Black that will share Mercedes-Benz B-Class models in Berlin and Hamburg. Daimler will deploy 100 B-Class diesels in each German city. The company says the cars will be parked at so-called "black" parking spots and won't have to be returned to the same spot when the user is done. Daimler, who says the reservation platform is geared for smartphone use, is planning to expand the program to other European cities with existing Car2go service starting this spring. That's important, since once the system is up an running, you will be able to drive a Car2go Black vehicle from one town in the network to another and not need to bring it back. Car2go first started operations in Ulm, Germany, and made its North American debut in Austin, TX, in 2009. The service now has more than 600,000 members worldwide with access to about 10,000 Fortwos in 25 cities throughout Europe and North America. Car2go chief marketing officer J. Paul DeLong said last month that Car2go is the world's largest global carsharing company. You can check out Daimler's Car2go Black press release below. car2go black: Carsharing with the three-pointed star STUTTGART, Germany, Feb. 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Daimler Mobility Services offers carsharing with Mercedes-Benz vehicles for the first time Pilot Phase with 200 B-Class vehicles starts in mid- February in Hamburg and Berlin One-way trips and open-ended trips available, within and even between different cities Smartphone-based rental procedure makes usage both easy and flexible Daimler Mobility Services will soon be offering carsharing with the three-pointed star. Under the "car2go black" brand, Daimler Mobility Services GmbH will pilot a fully automated carsharing system with Mercedes-Benz vehicles. The pilot phase will begin in mid-February in Hamburg and Berlin. In the initial pilot phase, select car2go members in those locations can use a network of 200 black B-Class models on short notice. The vehicles can be rented at dedicated reserved parking stations, and do not have to be returned to the same dedicated parking station that the vehicle rental originated from.
Mercedes Sprinter updated to take on Ford Transit, Ram ProMaster
Mon, 29 Apr 2013By the end of this year, the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter will be the second-oldest nameplate in its segment here in the States, but with hot new competition waiting in the wings, Mercedes-Benz is giving its hauler a freshened look and more equipment to stave off rivals. The Sprinter was a pioneer in bringing Euro-style delivery vans to North America, and it's inspired others to transplant their Continental offerings, with the all-new Ford Transit and Ram Promaster models launching shortly. It will also continue to do battle with lower-cost traditional competitors like the Chevrolet Express and Ford E-Series.
The big Sprinter will thus get a new look to go with more safety features and available technology. While the information released here technically covers the Euro-spec 2013 Sprinter (which goes on sale in September), the US market is expected to get the new Sprinter for the 2014 model year with many of the same features. Some of this new technology includes a Crosswind Assist feature as standard equipment and the availability of Collision Prevention Assist and Blind Spot Assist as optional safety measures - Mercedes-Benz says that all three are firsts for any van in the world. Also added to the updated Sprinter is a new 1.8-liter supercharged gasoline (or CNG) engine producing 156 horsepower, which will complement the line of diesel engines that carry over and help make the Sprinter the first cargo van to meet the upcoming Euro VI emissions standards. Additionally, a lower ride height is said to improve fuel economy and should improve handling while aiding ingress and egress for both people and cargo.
In terms of styling, the Sprinter's new face also looks more like the current line of Mercedes-Benz passenger cars. This includes a more upright grille along with changes to the hood, headlights and bumper that lend it a closer kinship to models like the CLS-Class and the updated E-Class. The Sprinter will offer both halogen and HID headlights, while the latter will get LED running lamps and offer Highbeam Assist. The images shown here only reveal the exterior from front angles, but it looks like few, if any, changes have been made to the rear of the van. Interior upgrades include a thicker steering wheel, a new shift lever and the latest in audio, navigation and entertainment systems.

Aston Martin and Daimler continue talks on SUV project, CEO required
Tue, 01 Apr 2014The Aston Martin Lagonda SUV concept revealed at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show didn't earn the plaudits the company is used to when it reveals new models, and it has lived an uncertain life ever since. Thought to have been scrapped along with the entire revival of the Lagonda brand, then thought to have been resurrected due to Chinese, Middle Eastern and Russian demand, another year passed before we heard more definitive talk about an Aston Martin expansion when AutoCar reported that the Lagonda could be built on one of Mercedes-Benz's AMG SUV platforms.
A report in Automotive News Europe indicates plans have gotten serious, its unnamed sources saying that the English carmaker is talking to Daimler "to extend their cooperation to building an SUV." Neither Daimler, Aston Martin nor Investindustrial, the managing partner among Aston Martin's ownership consortium, would comment. But with Investindustrial having pledged to expand the range, competitors like Bentley, Maserati and Lamborghini getting into the SUV racket and clear demand from current and future customers, it's easy to believe Aston Martin is working hard to put the pieces together.
One further potential bump on the road to an Aston SUV is the company's search for a new CEO. Ulrich Bez relinquished to top spot at the company at the end of 2013, and Aston reportedly will not finalize its model strategy without a new CEO in place.
