1985 Mercedes Benz 300TD. Turbo Diesel
Cold A/C-----Auto Transmission-----CD Player-----Power Windows/Locks/Antenna-----Working Sunroof-----167k miles-----Working Clock-----Cruise Control
LAST YEAR OF W123 Body= makes this the most desired year.
Low Miles These vehicles are seen with 1/2 a million miles or more. This is just broke in at 167,000.
Mechanically This has been gone through and is in EXCELLENT working order. I have driven this on road trips without any worries and would have no fear taking this across country. I change the oil every 3 months or 3k miles and although I check the oil regularly I never have to add between changes.
Mechanical Items Addressed
Numerous gaskets replaced (valve cover, transmission pan, oil pan, turbo oil lines, and more I don't remember), valves adjusted, as well as the A/C system serviced, brake job (raybestos pads and rotors turned less than 100 miles ago), radiator serviced with a cleaning and new antifreeze, new power antenna (goes up and down with original button on dash), sunroof gear replaced and system lubricated, all filters (oil, fuel, air) vacuum system serviced (fixed all leaks to ensure the power locks go up and down long after the car has been shut off), CD player/Radio, alternator rebuilt, and much more that I have forgotten. Whatever it needed I always had an open checkbook and took care of it every checkup (I had the mechanic go though it every 3 months).
Body and Interior-are in EXCELLENT Condition. The exterior has two rock chips, and the paint is new high quality dupont polyurethane (same stuff they use in the Kenworth Factory). Paint Job cost alone is practically what I am asking for the vehicle. The glass is in great condition, the windshield has a very small rock chip that is hardly seen and if repaired couldn't be seen. Interior Leather/Vinyl appears to be original and in good condition. The drivers seat has 2 small areas where the leather Split (each one is approx 2" they actually aren't very visable). The power windows all go up and down quickly. The Windows in the back make a clicking sound when they reach the top and the bottom but open and close as they should. The speedometer and odometer funcion properly and although the trip odometer works it doesn't reset to zero (I haven't checked if something is loose?). The tachometer works about 50% of the time (mechanic suggested that a connecter may need to be soldered). Below the rear window there is NO rust (a common problem for these, this may be due to being in california). The A/C works great and comes out of the vents on the far ends of the dash and out of the defrost vents (for some reason it doesn't come out the center vents-could be a fuse but cools the car well), fan blows well.
Fuel Economy for me has been between 26 mpg city and 33 mpg highway, with the turbo this the diesel has excellent power. I have a w210 mercedes diesel that is about 10 years newer and drives much better.
I love this car and would love to keep it forever but due to a future move I will no longer have garage space for her and she needs to find a good home. I have many more pictures and if you have any particular areas you would like pictures of let me know.

Next Aston Vantage will be the only way to get an AMG V8 with a stick
Tue, Mar 29 2016With only a few exceptions, most of them factory customs, AMG hasn't built cars with manual transmissions. It just isn't the way things are done in Affalterbach. But now that Mercedes's in-house speed shop will be supplying engines to Aston Martin, the world will be treated to cars with three pedals and overengineered German V8s wrapped in a pretty British package. We're into it. The news comes from Car and Driver, which spoke to Aston Martin CEO Andy Palmer about the new Vantage among other things. Palmer confirms to C/D that the Vantage will continue to offer manual and automatic transmissions when the next-gen car arrives featuring the AMG 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8. In its most potent form, the eight-cylinder makes 503 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque in the AMG GT S. Figure on a little more from the Aston-ized version, just for fun. The current V8 Vantage GT makes 430 hp and 361 lb-ft from its naturally aspirated 4.7-liter. While some may lament the new engine's forced induction, that added power and the thoroughly modern behavior of the AMG engine should be welcome. While the AMG V8 is currently only planned to go into Aston's entry-level car, C/D does mention a possibility of it (and perhaps its three-pedal transmission) making its way into other cars as an economy option for certain markets. If a V8 DB11 were to be offered, don't expect it to show up here, though. There's also no word on who will supply the manual for the AMG-Aston mashup, but it likely will be a transaxle like the current Vantage. Ex-factory manual AMGs aren't totally unprecedented. Pagani has built some three-pedal cars with its massaged AMG V12s. Compared to those, however, these manual Vantages can be considered mass-production cars. And really, any increase in the number of sticks mated to AMG engines can only be a good thing.

Aston Martin's deal with Mercedes-AMG more than skin-deep
Tue, Jun 30 2015Aston Martin is working on a raft of new models. But it's not going it alone: it has a technical partnership with Mercedes-AMG, the details of which have only been revealed in bits and pieces. If these latest spy shots are anything to go by, however, the arrangement could run deeper than anyone initially let on. Spied undergoing testing at the Nurburgring, this prototype for the upcoming successor to the Aston Martin DB9 is widely expected to be called the DB11 (10 is being used by James Bond's new ride). From the outside it doesn't look different than the previous versions we've seen running around, but this time we can also peer into the cabin, and that's where things start to get interesting. Despite the best arm-waving efforts by the development engineers, our spy photographers managed to snap a couple of shots of the interior. And though it looks far from being ready for production, the components we see appear to have been lifted from the Mercedes S-Class Coupe – particularly the steering wheel, digital instrument cluster, and almost the entire center console. This speaks to a deeper collaboration between the British and German automakers. The 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 from the Mercedes-AMG GT, C63, and G500 4x42 is already being adapted for use in the next generation of Astons. Related Video:
Frankfurt Motor Show Notes: Why Jaguar decided to build an SUV
Wed, Sep 16 2015It was inevitable. Jaguar had to make an SUV, and that notion became reality this week with the debut of the F-Pace, an all-wheel-drive five-seater that will launch in the United States next spring. Some purists may cringe. But in an era when Porsche, Bentley, Lamborghini, Rolls-Royce, Aston Martin, and other traditional luxury brands are all building or (planning to build) SUVs, Jaguar had to evolve. While it seems like a leap for Jaguar to make an SUV, longtime design director Ian Callum said it's been in the works for years. "The first time I was asked the question was when I arrived 16 years ago," he said. So in 1999 (and probably well before that), Jaguar was already thinking SUV. What took so long? "It wasn't a priority," Callum said. Jaguar was concentrating on fixing its existing lineup, which was pockmarked with holes and poorly selling products, like the X-Type. Along the way, Jaguar and sister brand Land Rover were sold by Ford to Indian conglomerate Tata Motors. Flash forward several years, and Jaguar and Land Rover are both experiencing a resurgence in the United States and around the world. Jaguar's lineup is flush with the E-Type's modern successor, the F-Type, plus a new version of the XF. The XJ received a 2016 freshening, and the smaller XE sedan is on the way. Jaguar put its house in order as other factors conspired to make a crossover timely. Fuel prices stayed relatively low, and consumers in the US and China remained steadfast in their love for utility vehicles of all stripes. Making a Jaguar SUV became a priority. "The world was telling us in no uncertain terms this is what they wanted," Callum said. "Not to be in the sector would be a little naive for the sake of purity." Jaguar proved its intent two years ago when it revealed the C-X17 crossover concept at Frankfurt, and the final production model is close to the prototype's striking looks. "I thought we managed to maintain that spirit," Callum said. It's a true Jaguar, with cues from the F-Type, 1968 XJ, and other famous models. Who would have thought Jaguar would make an SUV? "I certainly didn't," Callum admitted. But the F-Pace is here. If Callum is okay with it, purists can be, too. Quick Hits Opel retrenches for 2016 and beyond Opel used the Frankfurt show to display its new generation of the Astra, a critical vehicle line for the German division of General Motors.
