1988 300e Vtg Mercedes Clean 122k Miles 2 Owner Texas Dealer Title on 2040-cars
Pensacola, Florida, United States
|
See the Vehicle Report included at the above tab. This vehicle was historically a low mileage car. 2 owners it appears and has not been registered for the past 7 years, now its time to go and let a new home/owner enjoy its virtues and benefits for the price; yes it needs tinkering but its a good inexpensive model for a winter car or student possibly. It is imperfect but far from a dog or pitiful. Some may want it for its drivetrain as a donor for their car or not, I make no judgements. It will drive to your home from here without a problem I would surmise thus its not one of those 'trailer it home specials', but its got odds and ends that need tweeked or repaired or not, its your budget.
Engine- is strong and runs extremely well, transmission shifts cleanly smoothly, no taps no knocks, valves smooth, drives true and straight, corners well and steering is tight. Hood pad is excellent. Battery New Bosch approx 800cca, Bosch Plug wires new, plugs not fouling and starts well and dependably when cold or warm, idles approx 700rpm, cold start valve seems to work as should. Note engine does not run warm as most older I6 3.0 of this vintage usually do at this age, runs 80 celcius!! even at idle or hwy speeds!! Thats ideal. Oil pressure at idle is approx 2, 3 at speed as it should, oil filter is Mahle German not Fram. Interior- quite clean and seats firm, frankly amazing for the 25yr age actually, no rips nor tears nor loose seams, pleats full and supple not sunbaked soft nor worn, carpeting clean not worn, missing center armrest, wood console has chipping but not water cracking, sunroom tilt and retracts without noise nor sticking and watertight. Becker Grand Prix Automatic radio is original but displays '- - - -' theft deterrent lockout from battery replacement and not recoded. Power front seats work, front windows work, rear windows do not, right rear door does not open from loose mechanism internally, all windows close watertight. Climate Control unit seems fine, tested with another vehicle, and the blower fuses are fine, but, the blower speeds do not function nor does the airconditioning, not atypical for a car that has not been driven for so long. Heater and monovalve appear to work as should. Vent circulation at road speed just not at standstill, and recirculation switch works. Suspension- rear is tight and firm, needs right rear wheel bearing. Front- tie rod ends fine, steering damper fine, needs ball joints left and right, needs struts as it floats a bit at highway speed, fine around town, alignment seems fine, steers center and true with no loose wobble nor play, accurate when directed with no play or sloppiness. Brakes- stop evenly and straight with no pull nor discernable imbalance front to rear, quiet pads and rotors, no untrue rotors, age and remaining pad life unknown Wheels- are original with modest curb rash, evenly colored and good finish and basically clean, 4 tires show wear and need replacement, all are different brands not matching. Exhaust- needs center resonator, has a hole at from at pipe connection ($150 on ebay) or delete for straight pipes from catalytic to rear muffler, perfectly fine for this model and will improve mileage by 1mpg actually with no discernable sound difference, the difference between Eberspracher and and American stock actually. The old original aluminum bullet fuses should be replaced with new Brass ones is strongly suggested, they naturally corrode over time and are not dependable as the new alloys. Its a 20footer, looks far better from 20 feet away as it does have parking lot chips and scuffs, normal for a past daily driver; appears to have had a garaged life for the most part but its aging. Seems someone did a clear coat on it who knows how many years ago, good thing but not a great job, thus it helped sealed the paint but its far from a perfect finish, still shines though, but the sun is doing what the sun does, it is lightly fading in places regardless. In summary, its sold as is, no warranty nor have I embellished the condition. I've noted what I know to be wrong, broken, needing repair or tinkering or replacement. It is what it is but its worthy of a new home and owner. Again you must note that it is the original Texas title with multiple dealer endorsements and auction stamp, it has not been registered to an individual in 7 years. I considered getting rid of it by trading it in but am offering it here if someone wants a good car with good bones that will drive home and perhaps serve your needs for transportation or perhaps as a donor car or for a home restorer. Thanks, ask any questions. I may be able to answer or not, ask. |

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. Scroll down for the official press release for the new Mercedes-Benz Sprinter.

Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 Cabriolet is last year's concept with a soft top
Sat, Aug 19 2017Last year, Mercedes brought an absurd, excessive two-seat coupe to Pebble Beach called the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6. We say absurd and excessive because it was a roughly 19-foot long coupe for just two people. It also packed a 750-horsepower electric powertrain. This year, Mercedes brought pretty much the same car, but now with a soft top and the suffix "Cabriolet." Because the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 Cabriolet is basically the same car as the coupe, it's also dripping with unashamed excess. It's still 19 feet long, it still carries only two people, and it still has 750 horsepower from electric motors. Mercedes claims that power will propel the car to 60 mph in under 4 seconds. Also like the coupe, it has a range of 200 miles on a charge, and with the right charger, can supposedly regain about 60 miles in 5 minutes. There are changes to the car, though. For one, it's painted a different color. Instead of the vibrant red of the coupe, the roadster is a navy blue that Mercedes says helps evoke the feeling of a yacht — more so than the size already did. It also has new wheels with a more conventional multi-spoke look. They're also have rose gold-painted accents. The change to a convertible body style alters the appearance of the Mercedes-Maybach 6 more than you'd expect, too. Now that a significant portion of the vehicle is finished in a contrasting color, the car looks a bit shorter, in a good way. It doesn't look cumbersome. The lack of a fastback also helps keep the tail from looking like it's sagging, as it does on the coupe. The interior of the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 Cabriolet is mostly the same as the coupe, too. It features the same white leather seats that blend into the doors and dashboard. It also has the wild wraparound display and clear center tunnel with light tubes that show the flow of electricity to the motors. Metal highlights are finished in rose gold hue, as is the stitching. The differences include more prominent shapes that imply air vents, as well as a wood floor with aluminum strips to complete the yacht feeling. Also, the buttons that dot the seats have Mercedes logos on them, and they're backlit. We also get a peak under the hood of the Mercedes-Maybach 6 Cabriolet. It opens up like pre-war cars with two panels connected by a center hinge. Because it uses compact electric motors and underfloor batteries, there's storage space under the hood.
