1983 Mercedes 300cd Turbo Diesel Coupe No Reserve! on 2040-cars
South Dartmouth, Massachusetts, United States
|
Welcome to my auction. I've owned many of these model 123 Turbo Diesels, and purchased this car a couple months ago with the intent to resale after giving it Mechanical and Cosmetic servicing. This is a no reserve auction. My ideal winning bidder will have watched the many Mercedes Repair videos by MercedesSource.com on YouTube. It is the best source of Mercedes mechanical help, and will prepare the winning bidder about how to buy and care for this Mercedes. The car starts easily, runs and drives well. Here's the details on this car: Maintenance on 10/18/2013: Valves adjusted, new Vacuum Shift Actuator, New Glow Plugs after reeming, new Fuel Filter and in-line fuel filter, Oil and filter change. Also air cleaner housing mount fixed. Mechanical topics: Wiper motor needs fixing (arms taken off and in trunk), Transmission shift early at first shift - perhaps needs adjusting or leave as-is, should you need highway ramp speed acceleration. Battery light stay on after shut off and is there's a drain on the battery over time. I remove the negative terminal to keep the battery ok for now. The window regulators and switches are untested, however I know the drivers window works fine. A/C untested. Heat and vent fan motor works ok with no smells. Dash light and fuel gauge not working, undiagnosed. Previous owner said that he replaced the rear brake shoes. It does brake well. Hood pull opener (inside car) is loose. It has a Mercedes Muffler. The exhaust system is fine. The suspension is ok, and the steering is fairly tight. Glass is original and not fogged. Window seats at doors have cracks. Cosmetic topics: Passenger door dented (opens and closes fine); previous owner removed inside door panel and started to push out dent. Right now the inside panel is off the car - I have all the interior parts for the winning bidder to put back on), rear seat leather cracked and bottom cushion passenger side is fragile. See photos of rust. I've taken photos on the Garage Lift while the car was getting serviced. The car appears to be the original paint however I can't guarantee that....it was waxed and machine buffed in October. The tires are matching and roughly 50% worn. The spare tire is old and should be replaced. It is a matching rim although not as clean as the other 4 rims. The trunk leaks after a rain storm, and puddles on the right side. I will add a photo with the Mercedes brand battery soon. I cleaned the battery tray and painted the tray as well. Extra parts available and not included in this auction: 2 used Blue color doors (Drivers and Passenger door skins with exterior trim and handles), 1 Blue trunk lid, 1 front bumper with shocks and all trim. Winning bidder can have the opportunity to view and purchase after auction end. Ask questions before bidding please. I will work with a shipping company should you need this shipped to your house, however pickup needs to be within 7 days of auction end unless arrangements are made before hand. I will add more notes on this car, based on questions from bidders and any new information that would help someone know this car. Many additional photos at this Google Images page: |

Mercedes AMG and Cigarette Racing debut 2,220-HP electric motor boat
Thu, 14 Feb 2013Take the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG E-Cell, stretch it and take off the wheels then make it float and you've basically got the just-unveiled Cigarette AMG Electric Drive Concept. Powered by an all-electric powertrain that offers 2,200 horsepower and 2,213 pound-feet of torque (and uses "numerous components" taken from the not-quite-as-yellow SLS AMG Coupé Electric Drive), the sleek concept is being called the "world's most powerful electric drive powerboat." What that means is a top speed of over 100 miles per hour from four 60-kWh lithium-ion batteries and two banks of six liquid-cooled, permanent-magnet synchronous electric motors. And the 240 kWh of total energy should provide plenty of juice out on the water.
Launched (but not literally) at the Miami International Boat Show today, the Cigarette AMG Electric Drive Concept is the result of a partnership between Mercedes-AMG and Cigarette Racing. The boat is 38 feet long (much longer than the 15-foot SLS) and is plastered with AMG branding on the sides and top of the bow above the matte chrome yellow paint (officially called AMG Electricbeam mango). Two 220-kW chargers can refill the batteries, dockside, in about seven hours.
The idea of a powerful electric boat is nothing new (Henrik Fisker talked about a plug-in hybrid watercraft late last year), but this is the first time we've seen Mercedes put its EV technology on the water. Anyone who's afraid of driving an EV in the rain should take note. Check out the complete press release below.
Mercedes A45 AMG in downhill battle with slipstream skateboarder
Mon, 30 Sep 2013We're told it takes "performance, control and expression" to pilot a longboard skateboard down a mountain road, and that those happen to be the same values embodied in the Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG. That's how the two came to be combined in a black-and-white short film called Silver Slipstream.
There's no talking, no engine note and no color, just some music, a 'boarder and a car on a long cruise down the Franschhoek Pass in the Western Cape of South Africa." Despite that, it's actually a pretty entertaining video of the latest Mercedes-Benz hot hatch married with extreme sports. You can watch how it all goes down in the video below.
Mercedes Concept GLA45 AMG is ready to run
Wed, 20 Nov 2013This is the Mercedes-Benz Concept GLA45 AMG, and what we mean by that is, "This is the Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG." Mercedes has just unveiled the liveried 'concept' at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show, giving potential customers a very good look at the newest lunatic in the AMG asylum - a 355-horsepower, 332-pound-foot crossover that uses the same 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine found in the CLA45 AMG and Europe's A45 AMG.
Joined with a seven-speed, AMG Speedshift dual-clutch transmission and an AMG Performance 4Matic all-wheel-drive system, Mercedes promises a sub-five-second run to 60 miles per hour. That's not just quick for a crossover, that's quick full stop.
That sleek, lifted body has also been tweaked by the minds at AMG's Affalterbach facility. A new rear spoiler, side sills and front clip are the primary aerodynamic tweaks. Aesthetically, AMG has fitted the requisite "Turbo" badges, gloss-black accents (including exhaust tips and roof rails) and a set of 21-inch, AMG-spec alloy wheels to round out the overall package. Based on the spy shots we've seen, expect slightly toned down aerodynamics when the GLA45 AMG arrives in showrooms.
