Up for auction/sale is my 1985 Mercedes 300SD. This car has been my daily driver for the last four years. This car is in good condition and has been kept under a carport since I have owned it. It has the nicer 15 inch aluminum alloy wheels. I am asking the low retail value price for the car as listed by the NADA price guide.
I repainted it two years ago when making needed repairs after I was side-swiped by a drunk driver. I replaced the doors and had a local body shop repair the rear quarter. I put two new tires on it at that time and have since added two more new tires so all the tires are good now. It was my first ever paint job so there is orange peel and some drips here and there. It's not really noticeable from a distance but you will see it close up. The first four photos are what the car looks like now. I took them this last weekend after washing it up.
The car is technically champagne metallic in color and the interior is palomino. New Bilstein shocks and all new bushings are in the rear. I have also taken care of many other maintenance items such as new injectors, hoses and belts, and a programmable wiper relay. The seats are leather but I have seat covers on them as the leather is old, split and faded. The air conditioning compressor has be changed to a Sanden style compressor and works well. I am not a smoker and neither was the previous owner.
This would be a good restoration project or it could continue as someones daily driver. It's a very dependable car that's nice to drive. Please ask any questions you might have before bidding or buying. The car is being sold as-is.
Thanks for looking!

Mercedes S-Class Magic Body Control ad is clucking awesome
Tue, 24 Sep 2013This is a new ad from Mercedes-Benz. At no point does it show an automobile. Instead, it stars animals, but not the sort you might normally see in car commercial. This ad is all about chickens. It is bizarre, to say the least, with Diana Ross and the Supremes belting it out in the background, but it all kind of comes together when you realize just what Mercedes is hawking (yeah, pun intended).
It's for the manufacturer's Magic Body Control, found on the new S-Class. The system basically analyzes the road and prepares the suspension accordingly, leading to a ride that is, in the words of our own Chris Paukert "nothing short of spooky." You can read about it in our full review of the 2014 S550. Take a look below for the 53-second spot.
Aston or Bust? Maybach's fate to be decided next month
Mon, 13 Jun 20112011 Maybach 62 - Click above for high-res image gallery
What will become of Maybach? That question has been rattling around the halls of Daimler headquarters in Stuttgart for some time now. But all questions will be answered, and answered soon: according to reports, the German automaker is currently evaluating prototypes and propositions for its top-end marque, and will make its decision next month.
So, what are the options? On the one hand, Daimler could kill the Maybach brand altogether. It was a notion ill conceived and even more poorly executed, taking an old platform and building a new flagship atop it. In that way, it was sort of like the Chrysler Crossfire, only far more costly to both the buyer and manufacturer. On the other hand, Daimler could opt for the long-time-coming proposition of contracting the production (and possibly much of the development) of a new generation of Maybachs to Aston Martin.
Edmunds ranks the best used cars for 2013
Sun, 15 Sep 2013When people ask us what car we would recommend for them, it's usually not easy to answer. To make a useful recommendation we must consider which of the numerous vehicle segments fits their needs best, and then choose one of the many vehicles offered in each segment. For some people, new cars don't meet their expectations of value, because they lose so much of it the moment they are purchased and driven off the dealer lot. For them, there's always the used-car market, where great deals can be found, but cars' histories of reliability and maintenance records - and perhaps that Certified Pre-Owned warranty - become ever-important factors playing into purchase choice.
To help out, Edmunds has done us the favor of assembling a list of the best used vehicles money can buy, covering model years 2006-2011, according to what it considers the most important criteria when shopping for used autos: reliability, safety, value and availability. That means unreliable, unsafe, super-expensive or limited-edition models don't appear on the list, but instead cars from each segment that are more likely to satisfy the general population.
There are some real goodies on the list, including but not limited to vehicles such as the capable Honda Fit, the cultish Honda Accord coupe (which can be had with a 240-horsepower V6 and a six-speed manual transmission some years), and the powerful Chevrolet Corvette. While Edmunds' choice of the Volvo C70 for best used convertible baffled us at first (not that it's a bad car), it redeemed itself by stating that the Mazda MX-5 still is an unofficial top choice if you don't require more than two seats.
