1982 Mercedes-Benz 300SD. 5 cylinder diesel with an automatic transmission. Approximately 250,000 miles. Daily driver. Starts, runs, drives fine. I've owned this vehicle since 1997, and put about 118K miles on it in that time. Other than routine maintenance, I've not had any issues with the car. I bought it from a dealer, and I have quite a few maintenance records from the previous owners. I was told that the transmission had been rebuilt at some point. Since I've owned it, it's been kept in a carport. For the past few years, it's been driven very little. My oil change records show about 3K miles per year since 2006.

The car is not perfect, so please read carefully before bidding, look at all the photos, and ask questions. The car is located in Lexington, KY. You are welcome to look at it here, or contract with a local professional mechanic to check it over. If you'd like me to take other photos, please ask.

Body: paint is pretty good. It was repainted at some point, and there are rust spots showing on the driver's door, at the right rear fender well and a few other smaller places. See the photos. No collision damage, and to the best of my knowledge it's not ever had any bodywork (other than the repaint and a previous repair of rust spots). Electric sunroof works. Interior is fair. Rear seats are in excellent shape, front passenger seats have cracks in the leather. Dash has one crack on the driver's side.

Engine: Starts fine, even in cold weather - block heater is installed for very cold conditions. Runs fine. Oil pressure is good - photo of instruments is taken with the engine running. Battery is new.

All five tires have good tread.

Here's a list of all the miscellaneous issues I'm aware of:

Dash lights are out

Power door locks don't work, but they work manually

Passenger side windshield wiper doesn't move. It's stuck in the parked position. Driver's wiper works fine.

Odometer quit moving a year or so ago. It says 243315, but it has no more than 250,000. Speedometer works fine.

No radio, but there's a space for one. The original Blaupunkt quit some years ago. Wiring is still in place.

Air conditioning is feeble at best

Left turn signal doesn't self-cancel

Slight clunk in the right front - I assume it's a ball joint.

A few missing plastic bits, such as the buttons on the end of the passenger's seat adjustment switch.

I would imagine that a thorough inspection by a professional mechanic would discover other things I'm not aware of, so please bid accordingly and if possible inspect the car in person or arrange for a local professional to check it out for you. I've done my best to accurately represent the condition of this car, but I'm not an expert on this or any other car !

I'm also advertising the car locally, so I do reserve the right to end the auction early.

Again, please ask if there are any questions.

Thanks for looking.

2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class lineup shows its freshened face

Mon, 14 Jan 2013

Mercedes-Benz showed us its redesigned 2014 E-Class more than a month ago, but the Detroit Auto Show finally gave us a chance to see the full family of mid-size luxury cars and wagons in the flesh. Dieter Zetsche introduced the cars, including sedan, coupe, convertible and station wagon, on stage showing the stylish new design direction.
The wagon and sedan versions (shown as the E400 Hybrid above) will go on sale this spring, while the coupe and cabriolet will hit showrooms over the summer. Check our new gallery of live shots for the entire 2014 E-Class lineup, as well as the previously released press release below.

BMW expects China to pass US as its top market in 2013

Thu, 11 Jul 2013

When you combine two billion citizens, 100 cities with more than a million inhabitants and an economy that's as unrestrained as Jim Cramer on an Adderall binge, China's explosive auto industry growth shouldn't be a huge surprise. Audi already lists the communist country as its largest market, while Mercedes-Benz is expecting it to be there in the next few years. Now, according to a report from Automotive News, BMW is expecting the People's Republic to overtake the United States in sales by the end of 2013.
We already discovered the extent that BMW is going to in establishing a dedicated Chinese stronghold, when we explored BMW's Shanghai-based DesignWorks studio ahead of April's Shanghai Motor Show. And while we argued that DesignWorks Shanghai hasn't really borne fruit, it isn't due to a lack of sales.
BMW China has seen a 16-percent jump in year-over-year sales, lead by a 28-percent gain in 5 Series sales. Part of BMW's growth strategy comes from an ever-expanding dealership network. Remember those 100 cities we mentioned with over one million people? According to Karsten Engel, CEO of BMW's Chinese operations, those 100-million-plus city dwellers don't have access to a premium dealership.

UK workers strand car on island of asphalt to keep working

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

Generally speaking, when you illegally park your car, you're likely to get ticketed and towed, but there is probably at least one motorist in Scotland who wishes that was the case. After workers had blocked off a portion of the parking lot for the Edinburgh Waverley railway station, the driver of this Mercedes-Benz S-Class reportedly moved some of the barriers to park in one of the empty spots.
Rather than having the vehicle towed, the work crew simply tore up the asphalt around the leaving just the one parking spot intact, and as you can see in the image above (posted to the Twitter account of Harold Norstad), the crew even built a small asphalt ramp so the car could get off its blacktop pedestal. Since this happened last week, there's no word as to whether the car was eventually moved or towed for the resurfacing work to continue.
Let this be a warning...
