1982 Mercedes 240d on 2040-cars
Corvallis, Oregon, United States
Okay quick synopsis: The car runs and drive down the road and I’m using it as a daily driver. But it has some problems:
The bad: Left cv axle needs replaced (boot torn) Rear windshield leaks, front windshield leaked but was successfully stopped with silicone Transmission likes to pop out of 1st and 3rd gear. 4th gear works fine. 2nd is okay Cycle glow plugs twice for faster startups. Engine does burn/leak oil a bit. Replaced oil pan seal about a year ago Driver seat could use some repairs, it has tears in the leather. Sunroof doesn’t work, it is siliconed sealed. No leaks I lost my keys for the car. I only have the ignition key now. The other keys were different, so you’ll probably have to get new locks that go with the VIN number. The car came with three different keys and I think it should only have one. Maybe two if you had the valet key. The ignition key might be original with the VIN don’t know. I took off the inside trunk latch mechanism so the trunk is accessible but still held down internally by a bungy cord. Right rear brakes seems to be hanging up. I replaced the brakes, calipers, rotors on all for and still likes to hang up sometimes. Might be the parking brake system giving me some grief. No instrument lights Has good spare tire and jack, but for some reason I can’t find the lug nut wrench. I’m tossing in a 1/2 torque wrench to use just bring your 11/16 socket =) A/C equipped, quit working about a year ago Cruise Control equipped, doesn’t work Missing wood trim around the fresh air vent slider control Wood trim on glove box needs to be re glued back onto box door. Flops around.
The good: Tires are 1 year old. Les Schwab brand Manual windows (for some its good) New tie rods, new front shocks (bilsteins) Les Schwab tire chains Replaced all brake calipers, all rotors, all pads, and master cylinder. Replaced slave cylinder for clutch Replaced both flex discs about a year ago Fog lights work New drive belts Battery a few months old Leather is mostly in very good condition Dashboard is only slightly cracked
I hope this list will give you an idea of what you might be
in for. If your close to Corvallis we can arrange pickup maybe during the week
evening time, Sunday works best Saturday 2nd best. If your farther away or out of state Sundays would be best, Saturday 2nd best. Sold as is. Its my daily driver so odometer mileage subject to change. Thanks for reading all of this! |

Mercedes-Benz releases US-spec 2014 Sprinter details
Mon, 06 May 2013Last week, Mercedes-Benz released the details for the updated 2013 Sprinter intended for global markets, but this week it has announced what changes are being made to the US-spec version of the van for the 2014 model year, including the Freightliner model. As expected, most of the changes made to the European model will be present on the 2014 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter when it goes on sale in the US, which is expected to be this fall.
The biggest difference between the Sprinter announced last week and the one headed to our shores is what is found under the hood. While European Sprinters will come with diesel engines and offer the availability of a supercharged four-cylinder gasoline or CNG engine, US Sprinters will still offer the 3.0-liter V6 BlueTEC diesel. This year's Sprinter now comes standard with a new base engine, the 2.1-liter four-cylinder BlueTEC diesel. This smaller engine will produce 161 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque, and will be paired to a seven-speed automatic transmission; the optional 3.0 V6 puts out 188 hp and 325 lb-ft of torque, and will be mated to a six-speed auto.
Fuel economy for the new Sprinter has not been announced, but Mercedes-Benz has made numerous changes with the goal of improving efficiency. To this end you'll find a new, low-friction rear axle and the optimization for the generator, fuel pump and power steering pump.
Firing of M-B boss upheld
Mon, 15 Jul 2013Ernst Lieb, the disgraced former CEO of American operations for Mercedes-Benz, will not be getting any more money from the Silver Arrow'd teat. His wrongful dismissal suit against MB's parent company, Daimler, was tossed out of a German appeals panel. This, followed the initial rejection by a lower court last year.
According to court documents acquired by Automotive News, Lieb was found to have "accepted payments of substantial value to which he - as he was aware - had no claim."
Lieb took over American operations from former CEO Paul Halata in September of 2006. Reports surfaced in October of 2011 that Lieb was dismissed from his posting at MB, with a variety of rumors swirling. Eventually, news broke that financial wrong doing was responsible for the German's firing.
XCAR marks 20-year anniversary of Senna's passing with Mercedes 190E Cosworth
Thu, 01 May 2014While the automotive world is focusing on the twentieth anniversary of Ayrton Senna's death, there was much, much more to the legendary driver than his untimely passing at the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix.
XCAR has the story of a younger Senna, who, by a stroke of luck, found himself matched up against a veritable dream team of nine Formula One champions, not to mention a cadre of German touring car aces. A "probably still pissed (drunk)" James Hunt, hard-driving Niki Lauda and future champion and rival Alain Prost, were in attendance for the one-off, spec race, which was put on by Mercedes-Benz, in honor of the opening of the Nürburgring's Grand Prix circuit. And Senna was on hand with the explicit goal of besting them all.
Each driver was handed a lightly modified, but brand-new 190E 2.3-16 Cosworth, a car that can best be though of as the distant ancestor of the lovable C63 AMG. As for the race itself, well, it was sort of like an introduction of what the sport could come to expect from the Brazilian.
