1984 Mercedes 300d Diesel Bio Antique on 2040-cars
Portland, Maine, United States
|
84 Mercedes 300D. This is an incredibly strong running diesel that I've
run on BIO quite a bit. 287,XXX miles. It's my daily driver and I cart
my 20 month old daughter around in it daily. Very safe and although an
antique, I always have my cars state inspected. The little one is
getting not so little, so the need to upsize means my Benz has to go.
This car has been meticulously maintained and just gracefully made a
900-mile round trip, getting nearly 30mpg.
Hot heat, cold air, operating sun roof, beautiful interior (shocking with a 20 month old), clean trunk, paint still takes a shine with ease. A real head turner, cream puff, beaut, cherry, peach, all of those wonderful things. In all seriousness, this is a safe and great running car that I trust as a daily driver with my family and has never let me down. 4 studded Goodyear snow tires with less than 500 miles on them are also included, they cost me $500 less than 1 year ago. Tow package recently professionally installed and wired, but never used. New parts within the last year or so include, but are not limited to: Great Michelin Tires, rotated and balanced 100 miles ago Recent Alignment Brakes Rotors Suspension Parts Belts Hoses Water Pump Aux. Water Pump Thermostat Glow Plugs & Relay Block Heater Cord Climate Control Unit Blend Door Vacuum Switches Rebuilt Original Radio (tape deck) by orig. manufacturer Becker Autosound with custom, unobtrusive MP3 aux jack (must see to appreciate) Rear Subframe Mounts Rear Diff Mount Proper Diesel Purge Fuel Filers Fuel Lines Vacuum Pump Rebuild Vacuum Lines Steering Box Front License Plate Bracket Power Antenna New Headlamps Orig. Bosch Amber Fog Lamps The not fantastic but not awful: A little rust beginning rear quarters. Speedometer works great, though odometer just gave up the ghost - a $110 quote from speedometers.com for the fix. Some cracks in the dash Seam splitting in the driver's seat Rear power windows are inoperable Rear passenger power lock must be locked/unlocked manually. Car sold as is with no warranty written or implied. Bid with confidence, fly in and driver her home. I'll also help load if you decide to ship. I'm not trying to retire on this sale or complete my child's college fund, just get a start on getting something more suitable for a growing family. Feel free to ask any questions you have and I'll try to answer them to the best of my ability. |

Race Recap: 2013 Japanese Grand Prix flips several scripts [spoilers]
Mon, 14 Oct 2013Japan's Suzuka circuit is a great track that all the drivers love, but it doesn't usually provide the most thrilling, head-to-head racing. Where it does excel, however, is with surprises and "What just happened there?!" moments, and this year it was no different.
It started with Mark Webber in his Infiniti Red Bull Racing out-qualifying his teammate Sebastian Vettel for the first time this year. They were followed closely by Lewis Hamilton in the first Mercedes-AMG Petronas, the still-solid Romain Grosjean again outdoing teammate Kimi Räikkönen, Felipe Massa racing for another seat in Formula One and putting his Ferrari in fifth, then Nico Rosberg in the second Mercedes, Nico Hülkenberg in the first Sauber, Fernando Alonso in the second Ferrari, and Räikkönen continuing to do himself no favors by qualifying tenth.
For the second year in a row, the lights going out was the cue to start the first corner action...
New Die Hard movie wrecked 132 cars in $11 million chase scene [w/video]
Sat, 16 Feb 2013It would seem the act of dying hard brings with it lots of wanton destruction of the four-wheeled kind. According to John Moore, director of A Good Day To Die Hard, starring Bruce Willis, There were 132 (cars) that could never be used again. Another 518 required a lot of work. And damn right there were some good cars there... That's the fun of it."
Please join us in one great big collective sigh. Done? Okay, let's continue.
"With Die Hard it's about how audacious the action is," says Moore. "So you have to drive over a Lamborghini. An actual one. And yes it hurts me. I'm a car fanatic." Yeah. Sounds like it hurt really bad... though not as bad as the final tally after all the carnage had been counted: "Someone showed me the numbers on the car chase and soup to nuts, you put it all together it was like an $11 million sequence."
Mercedes leads in US luxury car thefts
Wed, 31 Jul 2013Mercedes-Benz makes some fine automobiles. The Silver Arrow'd cars are so good, apparently, that thieves can't help but try to steal them. The German brand is at the top of the charts for luxury car thefts in the US, according to the National Insurance Crime Bureau, with New York City leading the way. (And those New Yorkers complain about Detroit being bad!)
The C-Class was the most stolen model, with 485 ganked between 2009 and 2012 in NYC alone, while the E-Class and S-Class (which also boasted the worst recovery rate, at 59 percent) both finished in the top ten. Following the C-Class was the BMW 3 Series and Infiniti G. Not surprisingly, each of these were the most common models in their respective lineups. Los Angeles and Miami are also prime hotspots for luxury car thefts, according to the Detroit News report.
While getting your car stolen is pretty awful, there was one inspiring statistic compiled by the NICB - the average recovery rate across the board was 84 percent, with the Cadillac CTS getting recovered 91 percent of the time.
