1985 300D DIESEL : This car's VIN listed is correct - do a google search on VIN check and it comes up - Im not sure why ebay can't find it. It has a clear title of which I have ready to transfer to new owner and 2 keys for the vehicle. We've had the car since 2011
The Good: 1. Starts up every time and nice clean body 2. Electrical components are working: sunroof, vacuum lock system recently adjusted at mechanic shop, power windows, wtc. 3. Working Air Conditioning (we had it professionally replaced in summer 2012 with new a/c unit AND replaced climate control unit in car - so both functioning to provide A/C and heating) 4. Upgraded stereo speakers, ipod adapter (just plug it in and ur grooving!) AND removeable stereo interface for security. 5. Tires: Lots of tread on tires (all replaced in Dec of 2012) They are Spen Touring 60,000 miles tires that also have hazard protection for 3 years (so until Dec 2015) on them from BIG O' Tires (for nails n things) plus free tire rotation with life of tires 6. Lots of work put into the car including new control arms, tie rods, new battery (Feb. 2012), replaced diesel transfer hoses (summer 2013) fixing leaks, glow plugs, hoses, new bosch alternator (Feb. 2012), New Drive Belts (Feb. 2012) New rear brake pads & rotors (Nov. 2011), New front brake pads & rotors (May 2010) replaced strut rod bushings (2012) Not So Good: 1. Has a new leak (these cars seem to always leak) 2. The transmission appears to run "sluggish". We had our mechanic drive it around and he said "It's going to need a transmission tune-up". You're more than welcome to call the mechanic and ask if he has any other comments about it or cost. Its a professional mechanic shop in S.F Ca. (email for details) 3. The radiator was professionally replaced by the previous owner but our new mechanic said it appears to be a lot older than the install date. I called the mechanic about it and he was not helpful so the radiator may need some work down the line OR could get replaced by this mechanic if pushed. 4. The Glove Compartment (which was fixed once) doesnt stay closed - easy fix. 5. The passenger side mirror is missing (not the expensive part just the cheap insert of the actual mirror that is glued in) Value: This car has a lot of value in it; over $15,000 worth of parts & labor combined in past 5 years by us and previous owner. The a/c unit alone costs over $1,000 for parts, professional installation and warraty, new climate control unit over $200, the battery cost over $100, the new bosch alternator $220+, new tires $400+, the sound system (new speakers with ipod hook-up and removeable stereo face) countless other small parts like glow plugs, tie rods etc. In the event the new owner ever decides to stop driving it - this car qualifies for $1,000 in CA. for having it taken off the road. Per That's about it - it is a California car so rust is minimal if any (a tiny rust spot on hood of car from leaving the key on it for a week in the rain - so minor). It also comes with an extra passenger rear door that previous owner bought just because of a dent in the one currently on the vehicle. The interior is in pretty good shape too for its age. |

Recharge Wrap-Up: No new Smart Roadster, Africa to UK on one tank, Duke's efficient axial engine [w/videos]
Sat, Jul 19 2014Smart will not make another generation of the Roadster, but a Smart SUV might be in the cards. According to Smart's CEO, Annette Winkler, "The Roadster isn't a profitable business case. Everybody is keen on the car, but nobody wants to pay the bill." What Car? states that Smart is likely planning a baby SUV to take on the Nissan Juke and its ilk. But for the immediate future, Winkler says Smart "must focus on how we can maximize potential of the Fortwo and Forfour. That is strategy number one." Read more over at What Car?. A Mercedes-Benz E300 Bluetec Hybrid made the 1,223-mile trek from Africa to the UK on just one tank of fuel. Driven by Andrew Frankel of Autocar, the diesel hybrid left Tangier, Morocco with a full tank of gas (using the optional 80-liter fuel tank), and arrived in Goodwood with the car indicating 100 miles of range left. Frankel and his co-driver averaged 61.2 miles per gallon (73.6 mpg UK) on the intercontinental journey through four countries, despite elevation changes and a traffic jam. See the first video below for more information, or check out the article at Carscoops. Duke Engines promises simplicity and efficiency from the axial engine it's developing. Rather than lining up the cylinders, this engine arranges them in a circle, which allows Duke to avoid unnecessary weight. The five-cylinder, four-stroke motor manages the same amount of powerstrokes per revolution as a standard six-cylinder mill, but weighs 30 percent less. It also has much fewer parts, says Duke. Its high compression ratios mean more power with less fuel, which adds up to more efficiency and fewer emissions. The second of the two videos below, which we first found over at Sploid, explains Duke's axial engine. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.

Mercedes CLA45 AMG Racing is ready for a spot on the grid
Tue, 10 Sep 2013Mercedes-Benz trotted out its CLA45 AMG-based racer at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show. We first showed you the sedan in the deluge of news and reveals that precedes most good auto shows, and were blown away by the car, formally known as the CLA45 AMG Racing Series.
We were strolling by the Mercedes stand, and figured we'd pop in and take a look at the new racer and its carbon-fiber body panels, gutted interior, and race-sourced aero parts. It's a looker, both as a road car and a track weapon. It's not clear what series the CLA45 AMG will qualify for, although it does seem like a shoe-in for the World Touring Car Championship. Let us know what you think of the CLA racer down in the comments. In the meantime, we've got a full gallery of live images up top, along with the stock images that were posted last week on the Mercedes-Benz Facebook page.
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.
