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!!!!!!

New Mercedes Unimog debuts to the cheers of little boys everywhere [w/video]

Sat, 27 Apr 2013

The Mercedes Unimog, the superhero villain of the off-road world that's just waiting to make the jump to Transformer, has been completely upgraded for its new generation. There are ten models, expanding the range and getting new designations across the traditional all-terrain series and the implement-carrier series. Panoramic cabins get more visibility, multifunction steering wheels and better dash clusters, improved HVAC and a three-mode central tire inflation system. Outside, there are new items like LED headlights and daytime running lamps in the bumper, roof-mounted windshield wipers and a front-camera monitor for the implement carrier.
The new engine lineup is compliant with Euro VI, featuring four- and six-cylinder BlueEfficiency engines putting out anywhere from 156 horsepower to 354 hp. Powerplant placement has also been tweaked, the chassis members getting a revised curve to place the engine a bit further back and lower, maintaining off-road clearance and lowering the Unimog's center of gravity. The new location of the engine means the cabin has more room, and the wheelbase is shorter. Combined with a higher turning angle, the Unimog has a smaller turning radius than before.
The implement carrier gets what's called a "synergistic traveling drive," the bonus being that drivers don't need to stop in order to use an attachment - a hydrostatic transmission works with the regular manual transmission at up to 31 kilometers per hour for seamless switching.

Recharge Wrap-up: Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric Drive goes on sale in Europe, Spain gets Nissan Leaf taxis

Wed, Oct 22 2014

The new Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric Drive goes on sale in Europe on November 3, with deliveries starting before the end of the year. Developed with the help of Tesla, the new electric B-Class offers more than 132 kilowatts (177 horsepower) and 250 pound-feet of torque. It features Economy Plus, Economy and Sport driving modes. An optional radar support system uses the collision prevention assist sensors to help make smarter decisions about when and how to use the regenerative braking. The B-Class Electric Drive also offers an optional Range Plus button, which can unlock more battery capacity when charging for the occasional longer drive. Learn more in the press release below. Racing returns to the streets of Miami for the first time in more than a decade for the Formula E Miami ePrix on March 14, 2015. Formula E has revealed the track layout, which takes the race around the Miami Heat's home court, American Airlines Arena, along the Biscayne Bay. "This event will help to make Miami more of a sports city," says Mayor Thomas Regalado. "In addition, we will show the younger generations that you may have motor racing without noise or pollution." Read more about the event at the Formula E website and see the track layout in detail here. Hyundai has delivered the first ix35 Fuel Cell vehicles to customers in the UK, including clean energy company ITM Power. ITM is responsible for three of the hydrogen refueling stations being built around the EU as part of the Hydrogen For Innovative Vehicles project - the same project that helped bring the Hyundai ix35 (also known as the Tucson) Fuel Cell to Europe. ITM's 700-bar hydrogen stations will be built in London by Spring 2015, each with its own electrolyzer system on site. In the meantime, ITM will use the ix35 for commutes between London and Sheffield, refueling at a site that uses wind-generated electricity from an on-site turbine to power the electrolyzer to make the hydrogen.

Aluminum supplier Novelis says demand will likely increase 30 percent annually for the next 10 years in China, Japan and Korea, and possibly more depending on how China's plan to increase EV use and decrease air pollution shakes out.

Recharge Wrap-up: Mercedes B-Class Electric Drive is a rock star, FedEx tests electric trucks

Thu, Oct 2 2014

The Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric Drive is in a new music video for I Lived by OneRepublic. The band's singer, Ryan Tedder, has also been brought on as a brand ambassador for the German automaker. OneRepublic will also be performing the song at the Mercedes-Benz Media Night on the eve of the Paris Motor Show. No word if Mercedes plans to offer hordes of screaming teenage fans as an option package with the B-Class Electric Drive. See the video (the car shows up around the four-minute mark) or read more in the press release below. FedEx is testing converted electric delivery trucks with diesel range extenders. Looking to shrink its carbon footprint, the company has converted a handful of trucks as part of a pilot program. In addition to battery packs, each truck is equipped with diesel turbine generators (supplied by Ian Wright's company, Wrightspeed) to provide electricity when the battery is depleted. Because the diesel motors aren't powering the vehicle directly, they can continuously run at their most efficient speed, making the trucks about twice as efficient as those powered by traditional means. Read more at Wired. Ford's new aluminum-bodied F-150 will be 5 to 20 percent more efficient, the company says. The fuel economy gains depend on the particular version of the truck, but the biggest improvement will likely come from the 3.5-liter V6 and the 2.7-liter EcoBoost V-6. Automotive News predicts the F-150 SFE to be rated at 21 mpg city/28 highway/23 combined, which are identical figures to the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel. The result could be a noteworthy fuel economy battle between Ford and Ram trucks. Learn more at Automotive News. The US Department of Energy is providing $25 million in funding toward reducing the price of algal biofuels. The goal is to get the price of these renewable fuels below $5 per gasoline gallon equivalent (gge) by 2019, and less than $3 per gge by 2030. The money will fund projects to develop better algal cultures that produce biofuel and other useful bioproducts, and projects to boost biomass productivity. The DOE says it wants to help develop a "bioeconomy" that provides jobs, helps the environment and ensures energy security. Read more at Energy.gov. This content is hosted by a third party.
