1985 Mercedes Benz 300 td-t wagon with only 139,000 miles, thousands of dollars of service records and receipts. This is a rare 85 EURO (grey market) Mercedes Benz 300 TDT, with the rare option of anti-lock brakes and a third row seat. This car has new tires, new alternator, new front shocks, new brake pads. This car runs great, looks good with a recent paint job, I had great plans for this car and I would love to keep it but unfortunately the CA DMV won't let me get it plated for use in my state due to it being a EURO model. The previous owners replaced the euro lights and euro bumpers for american spec ones and it will come this way for the next owner. I have used this wagon for almost a year and runs great.


The engine starts at the turn of the key and sounds very healthy, the acceleration is superb (Compared to other MB diesel cars I have owned) and the entire drivetrain is solid and tight, this wagon runs extremely well and does not have any strange noises, the transmission shifts like clockwork thru all the gears.

The seats have been reupholstered at some point in time but no rips or tears, bear in mind this is not a show car or a frame off restoration but a solid and reliable daily driver and can easily be converted to vegetable oil if desired.

I want to be as accurate as possible describing this vehicle so here are the only issues that I know should be addressed and you should know of:

There is a small oil leak on the right side of the engine, my MB tech told me this would cost around $400 to fix, A/C not blowing cold, might need recharge, this car was on the east coast before I got it and has a little bit of rust in some parts, but nothing that should scare you away or any metal parts falling apart and rotting, on scale from 1 to 10 with 1 being serious rust and 10 being perfect condition I would rate this car a 7

I have priced it accordingly, taking into consideration what the car needs but also the potential and how strong and solid this wagon is. If you are looking for a low mileage daily driver this might be the way to go, only needs a little bit of TLC and this can be a very good solid commuter, that was my plan until "the man" wouldn't let me register it and now I hate to do this but I have to sell it at a loss, this is really one of those "my loss your gain" kinda deal......

THIS IS A EURO MODEL PLEASE CHECK WITH YOUR HOME STATE IF YOU CAN GET IT REGISTERED BEFORE YOU BUY IT, this wagon has a clear Virginia title and I know for a fact that it cannot be registered here in sunny California.

THE VIN# IN THE LISTING IS NOT ACCURATE, THE LISTING WOULDN'T LET ME POST THE CAR FOR SALE WITH MY VIN DUE TO IT BENG A EURO MODEL, THIS IS THE CORRECT VIN# FOR MY WAGON:

WDB1231931F050741

Please ask any questions you may have before you bid/buy, the car is available for inspection in Los Angeles Ca. and inspections are encouraged to avoid any misunderstandings.

Thank you for looking at my auction and happy bidding!!!!!!

Weekly Recap: Takeaways from the Frankfurt Motor Show

Sat, Sep 19 2015

We obsessively covered the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show, and naturally, we selected our favorites from this fall's biggest automotive event. Now that the dust has settled, we're looking ahead to what it all means. Here are three takeaways from the floor in Frankfurt. The Germans are serious about electric vehicles: It's a bit cliche to say BMW, Mercedes, and Audi have downplayed electrics in favor of other technologies, like diesels. For a time that may have been true, but those three companies, along with Porsche and Volkswagen, are emerging as leaders in EV development. That was on display in Frankfurt, when all of them revealed either all-electric or plug-in hybrid models. Gas prices are relatively low in the United States, but clearly the Germans are thinking long-term and globally. Everyone is serious about SUVs: You gotta have one, even if you're Bentley or Jaguar. It's 2015 and it's what consumers want. As Jaguar design director Ian Callum put it, "Not to be in the sector would be a little naive for the sake of purity." It's not just the flashy exotic luxury makers. Nissan showed the Gripz concept, which is rakish, radical, and meant to blend traits of SUVs and sports cars into a vehicle that really crosses over. Look for more, especially in the luxury sector, as Rolls-Royce, Lamborghini, and Aston Martin ramp up their own SUV efforts. There's no ceiling to the luxury market: Speaking of high-end cars, companies are continuing to invest in extravagant wares beyond just SUVs. Even during the recession, ultra-luxury makers remained relevant, and now they're back at full stride. In Frankfurt, that was illustrated by yet another S-Class model, the cabriolet, which will come in S550 and S63 AMG variants in the United States. Ferrari also showed off the 488 Spider, and Lamborghini opened up the Huracan LP 610-4 Spyder. Meanwhile, Bugatti's Vision Grand Turismo concept reminded enthusiasts that it's plotting life after the Veyron. European auto shows always draw the glitziest reveals from luxury makers, and this year didn't disappoint. OTHER NEWS & NOTES 2016 Honda Civic redesigned with snazzier style, turbo power The 10th-generation of the Honda Civic debuted this week at events in Los Angeles and Detroit ahead of its launch in the United States this fall as a 2016 model. Honda fortified the Civic with LED lights, an available turbo engine, and a more tech-laden cabin.

Artist imagines eerie world where cars have no wheels

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

The wheel ranks right up there with the telescope and four-slice toaster in the pantheon of inventions that have moved humankind forward. But what if a circle in three dimensions had never occurred to anyone, and we all had just moved on without it? Perhaps we'd be driving around in Lucas Motors Landspeeders with anti-gravity engines. Or maybe we'd have the same cars we do today, just without wheels.
That's the thought experiment that seems to have led French photographer Renaud Marion to create his six-image series called Air Drive. The shots depict cars throughout many eras of motoring that look normal except for one thing: they have no wheels. The models used include a Jaguar XK120, Cadillac DeVille (shown above), Chevrolet El Camino and Camaro, and Mercedes-Benz SL and 300 roadsters.
Perhaps one day when our future becomes our past, you'll be able to walk the street and see with your own eyes the rust and patina of age on our nation's fleet of floating cars. Until then, Monsieur Marion's photographs will have to do.

Top 10 small cars with the longest total driving range

Thu, Mar 19 2015

Editor's Note: Since this article was originally posted in the spring of 2015, much has changed in the automotive landscape, especially among those shopping for small car economy. With thanks to Volkswagen for their blatant cheating – and subsequent cover-up – on diesel emissions, the largest player in the diesel passenger car segment isn't playing – they're paying; billions are going for both car buybacks and federally-imposed penalties. And for a few VW execs there exists the very real possibility of jail. With the absence of a big player and the abrupt entrance – via Chevy's new Bolt – of an affordable EV with 200+ miles of range, we've limited the diesel listings to Jaguar's new XE. And for those wanting an updated look at efficiency and range, Autoblog has it – or the EPA has it. Long before electric vehicles were part of the mainstream conversation, car lovers and skinflints alike would boast about the total range of their vehicles. There's something about getting farther down the road on one tank of gas that inflames the competitive spirit, almost as much as horsepower output or top speed. Of course, the vehicles with the very best range on today's market are almost all big trucks and SUVs; virtually all have the ability to carry massive reserves of fuel. Top up a standard Chevy Suburban and you can expect to travel almost 700 miles (you'll need to stop before the Suburban stops...), while a diesel-fed Jeep Grand Cherokee manages almost as many. But what about vehicles that are smaller? The EPA has, essentially, three classifications for 'small' vehicles: Minicompact, Subcompact and Compact. All three are measured based on interior volume, meaning that some cars with rather large exterior dimensions and engines slot in next to traditional small cars. But even though impressive GT coupes from Porsche, Bentley and Mercedes-Benz may have much larger gas tanks to feed their powerful engines, that capacity is offset by higher rates of consumption... in most cases. We used the EPA's Fuel Economy Guide for model year 2017 cars as a start, calculating the official highway miles per gallon rating with each vehicle's tank capacity. The resulting numbers aren't necessarily real world, but they do offer a spectrum for total theoretical range. The eventual top ten surprised me on a few occasions, and comprised quite a varied list of vehicles. 10.
