1975 Mercedes 240d 4sp on 2040-cars
Powell, Tennessee, United States
As the title says, up for sell is my 240D. I have only had the car for less then a year, but it was well taken care of; service receipts and manuals included. The 4-speed diesel is a blast to drive and vivacious with great fuel economy. This car was running excellent; a dependable daily driver, and completed a 2,000 mile road trip last October. The engine began running rough, stalled, and now it will not start. The oil pressure didn't drop and the temp gauge didn't rise before it stalled. The engine turns over fine and has clean oil and coolant - fuel pressure to all injectors. I do not have a compression gauge, but suspect low compression to be the culprit. I do not have the time to investigate this, so sadly I have to let her go.
The interior is immaculate - minor cracks in the dash and some dirt on the carpet that a steam cleaner would bring out. The color is clear Tiffany Blue in the sun light and White at night, with very little rust for a garage kept '75. As you can see from the photos the passenger side has been hit (previous owner). The solid Mercedes door still shuts perfectly just as all the others. All lights work and accessories function as they should with the exception of the odometer and clock. The speedometer does function! This car is an original, rare 4-speed diesel. With a little work, she could be a mint condition daily driver again. Recent service I've completed on the car: New Michelin Harmony Tires w/ <2,000 miles, New Lower Ball Joints, New Tie rod ends/rods, New Clutch (presser plate/disk/bearing), New Slave Cylinder, New Radiator Hoses, Transmission Flush/Oil Changed, Regular Engine Oil/Filter Changes, Regular Fuel Filter Changes. With the car comes spare parts: 4 Oil Filters, 1 Primary Fuel Filter, 1 Secondary Fuel Filter, 2 Fan Belts, 1 P/S Belt, Tool kit, Factory Jack. Please message me with any questions or if you need a specific photo. Happy Bidding!!! Remember to BRING A TRAILER.
I WILL HELP WITH SHIPPING, BUT I CAN NOT DELIVER! 500 dollars due via PAYPAL within 24 hours of auction end with the balance being due in cash at the time of pick-up. Item must be picked up from Knoxville, TN. Pick-up time is flexible, but within reason. Item is for sell locally. I reserve the right to end the auction early. |

New details emerge on forthcoming Mercedes-Benz SLC
Sat, 02 Feb 2013Last we heard, the Mercedes-Benz SLC had been put on indefinite hold, but now Car Magazine is reporting that the Porsche 911-fighting "Baby SLS" coupe could be on sale by 2015. Riding on a modified SLS AMG chassis, the smaller and lighter SLC could be priced in the sub-$100,000 price bracket.
We'd already heard that the new car would feature conventional doors (instead of SLS-like gullwing doors), but this report focuses on some of the possible powertrains Mercedes-Benz is likely to use. At launch, the SLC could offer a pair of V8-powered models - a 485-horsepower SLC and a 585-hp SLC S - both being powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8. About a year after launch, a new V6 model could emerge giving the SLC an estimated 333 horsepower and its lowest price point.
It also sounds like the car's name hasn't been completely finalized as some people within Mercedes are favoring a return of the SLR name.
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.

Mercedes teams with Pebble for smartwatch tech
Tue, 24 Dec 2013Most automakers have realized by now that a good infotainment system is a must-have feature for many buyers, and have, as a result, invested increasing amounts of time and money developing these technologies. But some automakers are going above and beyond in-car entertainment and navigation technology by focusing on wearable technology as well.
Nissan has emerged as one such company, developing its own alternative to Google Glass and performance-oriented smartwatch. But Mercedes-Benz is also putting itself at the forefront of wearable tech - not by developing competing products to those designed by dedicated tech companies, but by working with them. The German automaker, as we recently reported, is developing its own app for Google Glass, and is now doing the same with smartwatches as well.
Set to be unveiled at the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Mercedes has collaborated with Pebble Technologies to develop the Digital DriveStyle app. The system will display tell its wearer where the car is, whether the doors are locked and if it needs fuel. Inside the car it'll alert the driver to potential hazards coming up on the road, while making functions like re-routing the nav system, controlling the audio system or activating Siri that much easier.
