DESCRIPTION

Purchased:
Purchased new in Germany in 1982 by my father (So some of the abbreviations on the dashboard and dials are in German). Manuals and paperwork included. It was then handed down to me.

Exterior:
This classic Mercedes Benz 300D is powered by a 3.0 liter 5 cylinder turbo diesel engine. The paint is in fair condition with some imperfections (The clear coat is coming of in some areas. There is a small scrape on the passenger side doors) and scratches (30 years of wear and tear) with no rust on the body. It is painted in a Pastel Beige. Accented with a silver trim (Two pieces are missing. One on the driver side door that has dislodged but I still have. And one small piece located behind the rear door that has been lost altogether. Both of witch can be seen in the pictures). And this car has the original Mercedes Benz wheels that display the Mercedes 3 pointed star. Please take time to review all the photos and feel free to ask all the questions you like.
The car is in relatively good condition but has some issues that need to be addressed. And could be a collectable to someone who sees the true value in this rare and desirable classic Mercedes
Benz 300D.
 
Interior:
The interior is in original condition. The driver and passenger seat are in fair condition(The drivers seat has a broken spring as well as a hole in the middle. The passengers seat has a crack.), however the rear seats are crack at the top and could use some re-upholstering in order to bring it back to its full original glory. The dash is cracked and some of the wood trim is dislodged but the pieces are still on hand and can be reinstalled. One of the wood panels between the seats could be refinished. The headliner is in excellent condition. It is all original with a classic Palomino interior tailored with quality leather that makes driving this car an experience in luxury.
 
Mechanical:
This Mercedes Benz 300D is an exceptionally desirable car for many reasons. Along with being in a stunning un-molested (Never converted to bio diesel) all original state, this Mercedes is the rare 3.0 Liter 5 cylinder turbo diesel engine giving it unparalleled fuel mileage of its time, and even now it is respectable at 30 mpg combined making this car both visually appealing and desirable for those who enjoy great fuel mileage.  This car currently has 188,507 miles. The car has some difficulty with cold starts(Probably need the glow plugs replaced). It has a small oil leak. There is a problem with the vacuum system so the power locks don't operate properly however the windows still operate properly. The air conditioning system was replaced about 5 years ago but has recently stopped functioning. It has new breaks (Front and back). It has a new battery. The tires are fairly new and have 90-95% of the tread. 2 full-size spares with rims are included. However we are not mechanics.  This vehicle, despite its few flaws has a reputation for reliability, with these cars expected to last over 300,000 miles.

Aston Martin and Mercedes-AMG formalize technical partnership

Thu, 19 Dec 2013

The development of a partnership between Mercedes-Benz and Aston Martin has been a long time coming. The news dates back to 2008, and over the five years since was supposed to lead to a rejuvenation of both the Maybach and Lagonda brands. That program ultimately fell apart, but the tie-in was forged afresh in July when the two automakers signed a letter of intent over a renewed partnership. And now that partnership has been formalized.
In a deal just announced, Mercedes-AMG will build a new V8 engine for Aston Martin that will power a new generation of luxury GTs for the British marque, presumably to replace the 4.7-liter V8 in the Vantage. The relationship appears to be similar to the one already in place between AMG and Pagani, only in this case, will involve Daimler taking as much as a five-percent stake in Aston Martin and an observer seat on Aston's board.
The technical partnership is also set to lead to the supply of electric and electronic systems, and could incorporate "additional areas of cooperation in the future." Whether that will include a fresh attempt at reviving Lagonda remains to be seen, as does the future of Aston's long-serving, Ford-based 6.0-liter V12 engine. But for now you can read the full announcement below.

2014 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG rumbles on stage 4Matic style

Mon, 14 Jan 2013

Bruce Hornsby and his soothing piano skills helped introduce us to the 2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class, but the monstrous E63 AMG sedan needed no entrance music as it rumbled on stage. The 550-horsepower (and up) sedan sat proudly alongside the rest of the redesigned E-Class on stage at the Detroit Auto Show, but stood miles apart in intention and execution.
In addition to a choice of sedan and wagon body styles, the E63 AMG will also offer buyers the choice of the standard 550 hp or an upgraded 577-hp S-Model; regardless of output, all 2014 E63 AMG models will come standard with the 4Matic all-wheel-drive system.
We already saw the E63 AMG's aggressive styling last week, but now we have a full assortment of live images for you to enjoy as well as the Mercedes-Benz press release, which is also posted below.

Mercedes to market Tesla-powered 2014 B-Class EV in U.S.

Thu, 05 Jul 2012

Looks like another Tesla Motors investor will be looking to cash in on their connection. Autoweek reports Mercedes-Benz will offer their B-Class in the U.S. with Tesla propulsion.
The magazine says their source at the German automaker confirms plans for a B-Class electric-only vehicle. While Tesla already provides battery packs for the battery-powered Smart ForTwo, the B-Class EV will reportedly have Tesla batteries, motor and other components. U.S. residents should be able to procure one sometime in 2014.
The same Mercedes source says plans for a hybrid B-Class have been postponed for now. Adding a range-extending, gasoline-powered engine to an electric vehicle would put the car into a different class for which rebates and incentives aren't as favorable in the States.
