1985 300 TD wagon in near mint condition. This wagon is entirely original and been garage kept since new. It has spent its life in California and has no rust. I bought it three years ago from a German Mercedes Benz mechanic in Santa Monica, CA. It was one of his personal cars. Every feature on the car is in working condition. If you have spent years looking for the perfect wagon, this could be it. It is an extremely rare color combo, white exterior and black interior. There are no cracks in the dash and there are no leaks. It has extremely low miles and the oil/fluids have been meticulously changed every 3000 miles.
The wagon drives as if it was new. Everything is tight, and it is very powerful. The 1985 has a larger turbo than any other production year for this car; therefore, it is far more powerful than other years/models. The transmission shifts perfectly and it has clean acceleration. All windows, as well as every other feature, work perfectly.
Cosmetically the interior is near perfect. The only flaws are a three inch scrape in the vinyl seat, which is not punctured, and a couple discolorations in the rear area that are very minor. It has no weird odors.
The exterior is near perfect and original as well. It has a few minor door dings but nothing that could show up by picture except for the passenger side hood area. There is a small dent there but no scrape in the paint. It's a three inch area. Once again, very minor but it's the one flaw keeping it from being perfect. I replaced the rims with brand new chrome OEM wheels and brand new Perrelli tires. Rear hydraulics work and the car does not sag. I drove over fifty 300TD wagons before I found this one, and that is not an exaggeration.
Other items I have replaced:
- Hood pad
- Front shocks
- Shifter bushing
- Glow plugs
- Glow plug relay
Car is available for viewing. Please email me with any questions. Thank you!

Watch Schumacher's hot lap of N"urburgring in Mercedes F1 car
Fri, 31 May 2013In advance of the Nürburgring 24-hour race last weekend, Mercedes-Benz put on a demonstration that had Michael Schumacher playing catch-up in a Formula One car against four examples of AMG metal. There were four cars sent off in staggered starts before Schumacher: an A45 AMG, E63 AMG 4Matic, SLS AMG Black Series, and an SLS AMG GT3 car. "Mr. Formula One," as the German television commentators call him, left three minutes after the SLS AMG GT3.
There are two videos of Schumacher's lap, the first is on-board footage - and even though there were several GoPros on the car the POV never cuts away from the front wing. You can hear the throttle and tell he's not pushing it, you can also tell how bumpy the track is. The second video is footage from the German Sport1 channel - with commentary in German - that shows all the cars taking off and takes the aerial view of proceedings. He looks to be going a lot faster in that one. You can compare and contrast yourself with the videos below.
Oh, and it's worth noting that, even with the likely restricted car, and the made-for-TV environment, Schumi turned in a quick lap. The nose camera shows the F1 car start to slow down on the back straight, near the start/finish line, right around the modern-length track record time of six minutes and eleven seconds.
Mercedes widens luxury sales gap on strong early CLA demand
Wed, 02 Oct 2013Mercedes-Benz CLA sales have been booming, with the Stuttgart-based manufacturer moving 2,300 of the sleek four-doors in its first week on sale. That is astonishing. Mercedes moved nearly twice as many CLAs (which start at $29,900) in one week than Jaguar, a brand that is on a very solid roll, sold in all of September. Ignoring the price differences between the Jag line and the CLA, that is still wildly impressive.
Mercedes has been pushing the CLA in television ads, using a shortened version of its Super Bowl spot, which starred William Dafoe, Usher and Kate Upton. "As the bargain entrance into the Mercedes portfolio, we weren't sure how luxury buyers would react," Kelly Blue Book auto analyst Alec Gutierrez told Bloomberg.
The CLA push was just part of MB's 6.7-percent increase in September sales, which were also helped along by a 17-percent jump in E-Class sales. That surge has allowed Mercedes to widen its 2013 sales lead over its rival, BMW, to 2,491 cars, according to Bloomberg. If CLA sales continue at this rate, we can only expect that margin to grow.
France formally moves to ban Mercedes vehicles using contested refrigerant
Wed, 31 Jul 2013That didn't take long. Shortly after a French administrative court gave the French government a ten-day window to reconsider its ban on registrations of Mercedes-Benz A-, B- and CLA-Class cars using the prohibited R134a refrigerant, the government cited an EU directive to formalize banning the sale of the cars. The country's environmental ministry said that registrations "will remain forbidden in France as long as the company does not to conform to European regulations," meaning so long as they do not use the approved R1234yf refrigerant.
Daimler had won the administrative court decision by challenging France's application of a "safeguard" provision in which the EU allows a country to block sales of cars that would "seriously harm the environment." In spite of Daimler's victory, France has cited that very provision as basis for the continuation of the ban.
Daimler got permission from Germany's KBA federal motor authority to keep selling cars with the coolant banned by EU politicians, and is using that national permission as the right to sell the cars throughout Europe. Meanwhile, above that battle, German politicians are asking the EU to let Mercedes sell the cars in France while the KBA does more testing, at the same time as the EU is threatening Germany with repercussions if it doesn't bring the KBA and Daimler into line.
