Please read the entire ad, I tried my best going over the car as much as I could, but I may have forgotten some things. If there are any questions please feel free to ask.

I have an entire album of pics here: 1987 Mercedes 300TD PICTURES 1987 Mercedes Benz 300TD Turbo Currently 227k miles - will rise as the car is driven regularly I'm selling my 1987 Mercedes 300TD Turbo with 227k miles. It's Arctic White on the outside with BLUE MB-Tex interior. The car has never been in an accident and is driven nearly everyday. I have 2 other Mercedes and a truck, so it's time to thin the herd for now. I've mainly used this as my highway commuter to my parent's home which is a ~700 mile round-trip... she's always given me around 27 mpg on winter diesel and around 29-31 mpg on summer blend. Always has gotten 3200 mile oil changes with Mobil Delvac or Shell Rotella 15W-40 and a Bosch or Mann oil filter. I bought the car earlier this year from a businessman in Janesville, WI. I have an entire stack of service records from his ownership from around 2003 to 2013 when I bought it. That's the only period of service records I have for the car as the gentlemen in Janesville couldn't locate those he had from the owner before him (a dentist in Madison, WI). From my understanding, there have only been three owners of the car (including me). The records I do have address MANY of the W124 chassis' issues, especially issues that the OM603 diesel engines have with age. Below is some of the more notable work done to the car in recent years, all major areas have been addressed on the car and she's ready to go for years to come!

Mercedes-Benz introduces new heavy security M-Class Guard model
Tue, 19 Mar 2013Mercedes-Benz has unveiled a new addition to the company's line of personal security vehicles. The M-Class Guard features bullet-proof side windows made with special laminated glazing and a polycarbonate inner layer to protect occupants from shards of glass. Mercedes says the M-Class Guard meets protection level VR4 according to the Bullet Resistant Vehicles 2009 standards, based on testing from the independent Ulm-based Ballistics Bureau, which means it can withstand .357 Magnum and .44 fire from multiple angles. It can also stand up to the DM51 hand grenade when equipped with optional floor armoring. Why skimp?
Buyers looking for protection from the world's literal slings and arrows can opt for the ML350 BlueTEC with its 258 horsepower 3.0-liter turbodiesel engine. With 457 pound-feet of torque, the oil-burner should have no trouble hustling the privileged class about. Of course, the ML500 offers a bit more punch courtesy of a 4.6-liter twin-turbo V8 with 408 horsepower and 442 pound-feet of torque. Prices start at 105,050 euros for the diesel and 118,650 euros for the V8. You can check out the full press release below for more information.
Daimler employees can set email to auto-delete during vacation
Mon, 18 Aug 2014The Internet has shrunk the world in terms of the way people communicate by making it possible to send an email from Oslo and have it show up in Cleveland almost immediately. But that instant contact has wrecked the work/life balance for many. They get home from a long day at the office, yet they can never fully put their feet up and relax because another hour or more of checking and replying to emails awaits. However, German automotive giant Daimler is putting an end to that churn, at least while its employees are on vacation.
About 100,000 Daimler employees in Germany are eligible to opt-in to a new program called Mail on Holiday, according to The Atlantic. When the workers go on vacation, they can switch it on, and the service auto-deletes all of their incoming email. "Our employees should relax on holiday and not read work-related emails," said Wilfried Porth, board member for human resources, to The Financial Times as cited by The Atlantic.
Mail on Holiday puts a thumb on the scale of work/life balance in favor of a little more free time. The system means that Daimler employees shouldn't even be tempted to check their email on vacation because there's nothing there - and it also avoids them coming back from a relaxing holiday only to find a mailbox packed full of hundreds of unread messages. These days, people are absolutely obsessed with their work, often to the detriment of their health, not to mention spending time with their families and friends. On one hand, Mail on Holiday sounds like the sort of vacation breakthrough we'd need to truly unplug and unwind, but on the other hand, it makes our skin crawl just thinking about the lack of communication.
