1986 Mercedes Benz 300SDL Diesel. 
Great to convert to Bio-diesel.

I bought the car from my Father-in-law, hoping to try my hand at bio-diesel. Since my wife and I have a young son, we have decided to get a small travel trailer. I have too many autos and one must go, so it is this one. My Father-in-law got the car from Mercedes of OKC and was told he was the second owner, so I am the third. The reason it shows four owners is that my in laws got divorced and it transferred from my mother in law to father in law.  

First of all what has been done to it recently: 
NEW GLOW PLUGS - Mercedes charges $1000 alone to do this.
NEW BATTERY
NEW TIRES ON ALL 4 WHEELS
OIL AND FILTER CHANGE
AIR FILTER 
WINDSHIELD WIPERS
NEW SEAL ON DIESEL FUEL THERMOSTAT
SOME FUEL LINES REPLACED
NEW FUEL FILTER

The front and rear seats power adjustments all work. 

I drove the car about 50 miles last week at 80 mph and it ran great for an old diesel and the ride was smooth. When I pushed the accelerator down, the car responded and really moved down the road. It hauls butt.

Now the rough part of the car. I am trying to list everything. I have not had the car long.
Right side lower plastic panel is slightly bent and scratched, paint on trunk and roof is needing repainting - since in OK - only small rock chip spots rusting - as you can see from the photos -  it looks pretty good though, truck lock will not lock, radio taken out, needs new antenna, driver and passenger cushion cover needs work, back seat top of lean back splitting, driver lean back cover needs work, blower motor works - but ac is not working, sunroof tilts up and down - but does not slide. The interior has rough things here and there. I tried to cover as much of the car in the photos as I could.  

I do not have the original ignition keys. I had keys made from the emergency key.  The emergency key is the original. My in laws has several newer Mercedes they drove. They moved before I got the car, and the keys got misplaced in the move.

My Father-in-law said the motor was rebuilt in 2000 at Mercedes of OKC. About 100,000 miles ago. 

In about 2002 My father in law was in an accident. The windshield, hood, both front fenders and bumper was replaced and repainted the factory color. No frame damage. You can not tell that the work was done. The body work was performed at a body shop recommended by Mercedes of OKC.

I have owned the car myself for about 6 months and have only driven about 100 miles.

This car was about $43,000 when new in 1986. A Mercedes shop told me the engine alone is worth about $4000. NADA shows low end of the car is about $6000. The starting bid is well below the $4000.

The car is not perfect or mint. The price would be higher if it was. Not bad for 27 years old. 

I have the car listed locally too. If I sell locally before I get a bid, I will end the auction early. If there is a bid on the car, I will sell it to the highest bidder. 

I will not give you a signed paid receipt and title until it is paid for.
Please email me if you have any questions.

Here's today's round of auto plant closures in response to coronavirus

Fri, Mar 20 2020

More automakers have shuttered factories, as businesses everywhere work to slow the spread of the Covid-19 coronavirus — and as the pandemic slows sales and disrupts parts supply chains. On Friday, the following closures were announced: • Volvo will close its factories in Sweden and the United States from March 26 to April 14. Volvo's U.S. facility, in Charleston, South Carolina, makes the S60 sedan. Its assembly plant in Torslanda, Sweden, turns out the XC90, SC60, and V90. Other Swedish facilities make engines and component parts. A Volvo factory in Ghent, Belgium, that builds the XC40 and V60 closed earlier this week and is expected to remain offline until April 6. Volvo's four factories in China have been reopened after a shutdown earlier this year. • Jaguar Land Rover announced that it will suspend production at its assembly plants in the UK over the coming week. The shutdown is expected to last until April 20. Elsewhere, production continues at the company's factories in India and Brazil, and JLR's joint-venture plant in China reopened at the end of February. • Bentley is closing its factory in Crewe, England, for four weeks, effective today. • Bugatti has put its atelier in Molsheim, France, on hiatus. No date was given for when assembly of its supercars might resume. • Mercedes-Benz on Monday will shut down its SUV factory in Alabama and its van assembly plant in South Carolina. Both will remain closed for a minimum of two weeks. Tesla yesterday revealed that it will suspend operations at its Fremont, California, vehicle assembly plant next week, on order from local officials there. Yesterday's factory closure announcements also included the U.S. assembly plants for Toyota (until April 6), Volkswagen (through March 29), Subaru (through March 29), and Hyundai (no time period specified). They join GM, Ford, Chrysler, Honda, Nissan, and Harley-Davidson, which earlier this week announced the suspension of production at their facilities.

Mercedes teams with Pebble for smartwatch tech

Tue, 24 Dec 2013

Most automakers have realized by now that a good infotainment system is a must-have feature for many buyers, and have, as a result, invested increasing amounts of time and money developing these technologies. But some automakers are going above and beyond in-car entertainment and navigation technology by focusing on wearable technology as well.
Nissan has emerged as one such company, developing its own alternative to Google Glass and performance-oriented smartwatch. But Mercedes-Benz is also putting itself at the forefront of wearable tech - not by developing competing products to those designed by dedicated tech companies, but by working with them. The German automaker, as we recently reported, is developing its own app for Google Glass, and is now doing the same with smartwatches as well.
Set to be unveiled at the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Mercedes has collaborated with Pebble Technologies to develop the Digital DriveStyle app. The system will display tell its wearer where the car is, whether the doors are locked and if it needs fuel. Inside the car it'll alert the driver to potential hazards coming up on the road, while making functions like re-routing the nav system, controlling the audio system or activating Siri that much easier.

10 electric cars we’re excited are coming soon

Thu, Sep 22 2022

If you were considering buying an electric vehicle a couple years ago, we wouldn't fault you for thinking your options were limited, both in terms of quantity and quality. You just might not have been able to find an electric car that would suit your needs, lifestyle or budget. With the newest generation of EVs that have launched in the past year or two, your options have changed — and improved — dramatically. If you still don't see an EV you like, just wait a little while longer. It won't take long. There are a whole lot more on the horizon, and the problem may soon be in narrowing down your options. To give you an example, here are 10 electric vehicles we're excited about that you'll be able to buy very soon, from GM, from Germany, from Japan and more. Some of these will be available by the end of the year, and all are expected to launch by the end of 2023. The Chevy trio: 2024 Blazer EV, Equinox EV and Silverado EV GM is stepping into the future with strong footing. Following high-end electric launches from GMC (Hummer EV) and Cadillac (Lyriq), Chevrolet is bringing three electric vehicles with familiar nameplates. The 2024 Chevy Blazer EV (above left) will offer a number of versions, starting with the 2LT and RS trims in the summer of 2023, followed by the 557-horsepower SS in the fall and the base 1LT in early 2024. The 2024 Chevy Equinox EV (above right) will go on sale in fall 2023 as a limited-edition model, with volume sales ramping up in 2024, with a base cost of “around $30,000.” For those who prefer a bed to a liftgate, the 2024 Chevy Silverado EV is an electric pickup that looks more like the old Chevy Avalanche than the current Silverado. The WT (work truck) trim launches in fall 2023, while the 664-horsepower RST will follow in 2024.

It should go on sale before the end of 2022. The i7 xDrive60 will be the only variant, with its two motors providing a total of 536 horsepower and 549 pound-feet of torque, and its battery expected to offer a range of about 300 miles. Just like its internal combustion counterpart, this full-size sedan wonÂ’t come cheap, with the i7 starting at $120,295. 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6 Following the Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6 and Genesis GV60, the 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6 will be the fourth car using Hyundai GroupÂ’s E-GMP electric car architecture.
