LOOK AT THE AUTO HISTORY REPORT!!! THIS CAR IS PURE AND ACCURATE AS THE DRIVEN SNOW!!!!


This car has certified low miles and runs fantastic and shifts right on time!!!! Powerful!!!! I am listing this to primarily sell the engine and transmission, plus the interior is very, very nice also. Chicago and northern Indiana winters/salt have taken their toll on the body. There are a few rust holes and other rough areas. No major dents or accidents. A body man can turn this into a raving beauty, but I am not such and I am not giving anyone 3-4 grand to do that (body work). IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE BODY-WISE JUST AS IT IS! I drive it daily as we speak.

I would not hesitate to drive to Seattle, or San Diego, or Miami, or Maine, RIGHT NOW. Its fast, (for a diesel) the interior is very nice and all the safety features work.

IF A PERSON IS LOOKING FOR A PERFECT DIESEL MOTOR AND TRANSMISSION TO DROP INTO A NICE 300SD BODY (126 CHASSIS), THEN THIS IS THE ONE!!!! FURTHERMORE, YOU DON'T HAVE TO SHIP IT!!! FLY, TRAIN OR BUS IN AND I'LL PICK YOU UP, BRING YOU TO THE CAR AND YOU CAN DRIVE IT HOME!!! THE FUEL MILEAGE IS UNREAL!

So its your choice; buy the car and do the body work or buy the car and take the motor, transmission and seats out. EIGHTY-SIX THOUSAND LEGITIMATE MILES!!!!! 86,000! 

I will not ship. If you use a shipper he must report when pickup day is, BEFORE that day arrives and we must mutually agree on a time. If you're going to personally pick the car up we will arrange a date and time mutually. If you plan on using a tow dolley, be advised you MUST disconnect the drive shaft from this car to use a dolley safely and not damage the vehicle. I WILL NOT REMOVE THE ENGINE AND TRANS FOR YOU! You will be picking up a whole, safely drivable vehicle. Deposits are non-refundable. Cash or postal money order(s) required for balance at pickup.


I am currently driving the vehicle so the mileage is going up

Race recap: 2016 Belgian Grand Prix is a dozen angry laps

Mon, Aug 29 2016

The calm of the Formula One summer break ended with the tumult of the Belgian Grand Prix. The first two days included unusual tire pressures and grid penalties; Mercedes-AMG Petronas' Lewis Hamilton started 21st because of a 55-place grid penalty for engine and gearbox changes, McLaren's Fernando Alonso started 22nd due to a 60-place penalty for the same offenses. The bedlam rolled right into what was effectively an 11-or 12-lap race. Mercedes driver Nico Rosberg took off from pole and the cameras barely bothered with him until he took the checkered flag 44 laps later. Red Bull's Max Verstappen bogged from second on the grid, got swallowed by Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen on the way to Turn 1, then attempted to recover by sticking his Red Bull's nose between Raikkonen's sidepod and the apex at the first corner. Vettel, who didn't see Verstappen, turned into La Source leaving only enough room for Raikkonen. Three cars don't fit in a space for two cars. Vettel spun, Raikkonen and Verstappen clobbered one another and all three drivers had to pit for repairs. Force India's Nico Hulkenberg zig-zagged his way into second ahead of Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo, Williams' Valtteri Bottas, and Sergio Perez in the second Force India. On Lap 6 Kevin Magnussen lost his Renault at Raidillon at the top of Eau Rouge and flew backward into an enormous crash. Magnussen escaped with just a cut ankle. The Safety Car paraded the field for four laps before officials red flagged the race to repair the barriers. When racing resumed on Lap 10, Rosberg led Ricciardo, Hulkenberg, Alonso, and Hamilton. Ricciardo stayed ahead of Hamilton to keep second place at the end of the race, Hamilton easily got around Alonso and Hulkenberg to lock up third. Hulkenberg – who'd given up second to Ricciardo by pitting during the Safety Car period – earned another career-best fourth position ahead of teammate Perez in fifth, followed by Vettel and Alonso on recovery drives, Bottas, Raikkonen, and Felipe Massa taking 10th in the second Williams. Rosberg reignited his Driver's Championship charge with the victory, closing to nine points of leader Hamilton. We could argue that Hamilton had an equally good day by driving from 21st to third, limiting his loss to only 10 points. About that Verstappen, though... We've seen far more experienced drivers attempt the same move Verstappen made into Turn 1 – Raikkonen on Bottas in Russia in 2015, for instance.

German carmakers recall 630,000 diesel vehicles in Europe

Fri, Apr 22 2016

Mercedes, Opel, Porsche, and Volkswagen will recall over 630,000 cars in Europe, according to reports Friday. No diesel car has been able to get under the legal emissions limit in real-world driving, according to a German government investigation. While only Volkswagen Group has been using a specific "defeat device", other carmakers have been playing with their exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) systems. Depending of the manufacturer, the systems have been cut off at a certain temperature. In a specific test cycle the systems operate to fulfill the legal requirements, but in everyday use the limits are exceeded. According to the magazine Der Spiegel, the supplier Bosch is behind this programming and has provided it to all German automakers. The mentioned carmakers have announced recalls, but many other manufacturers are also mentioned by name in the report, including Alfa Romeo, Chevrolet, Dacia, Fiat, Ford, Hyundai, Jaguar, Jeep, Land Rover, Nissan, Renault, and Suzuki. PSA Group, which produces Peugeot, Citroen, and DS cars, declared yesterday that its offices were raided following an emissions investigation.
