1987 MERCEDES BENZ 300TD Turbo Diesel Wagon
Up for auction is a 1987 Mercedes 300 TD. I purchased this from the original owner, who was a Mercedes collector. He was about to retire to Florida and was selling his cars. I jumped at the chance to own one of these fabled 300 wagons with the best 6 cylinder diesel engine ever made. Shortly after buying it, I moved out to a rural location and found that I needed a 4x4 and the 300 has been in covered storage since. I think it's time to let it go so it can be out on the road, where it wants to be!
The vehicle is in very good shape for it's age, inside and out. Most people can't believe it's an '87. A few tiny dings and scratches to be seen from up close. The paint is in good shape; no fading or chipping. No visible rust at the jack points or on the body. Automatic transmission shifts smoothly. A couple of issues to mention: The original Becker radio is not displaying one of the numbers of the radio station correctly. The tiny wipers on the headlights don't work but I didn't find any '87s with those working. Since taking it out of storage, the power radio antenna and the driver's window are not working. If you hold the window switch and put your hand on the window itself, you can help it up and down. Seems like something is not catching correctly in the door because the glass starts to move a bit on it's own and then stops. All other windows and the sunroof work fine, so I assume it's not a vacuum issue.
I put a brand new battery in when I purchased the car and i also bought 2 service manuals and an all season car cover. There are the original MB rubber floor mats throughout, including the rear cargo area. There is a 3rd row of rear facing seats that fold out from the floor of the cargo area. Comes with 4 additional snow tires mounted on MB rims! Also, some random engine and interior parts the last owner had in his shop and gave to me. The engine was replaced at around 150 thousand. He didn't have the exact number. He said that the new engine has the 2nd generation head, which is the sought after one. He was a MB guy, so all work was done by Mercedes techs.
The winner will arrange to pick up the car within a week of the auction's ending date at my place in MA, 80 minutes from Boston, 45 minutes from Amherst, 40 minutes from Greenfield. Payment can be made at the time of pickup in cash, or pre-paid by bank transfer. All sales are final, no returns. Please ask all questions and/or come check it out before you bid. Bid with total confidence; look at my 15+ years of perfect feedback as a seller. Have fun and good luck!

Firing of M-B boss upheld
Mon, 15 Jul 2013Ernst Lieb, the disgraced former CEO of American operations for Mercedes-Benz, will not be getting any more money from the Silver Arrow'd teat. His wrongful dismissal suit against MB's parent company, Daimler, was tossed out of a German appeals panel. This, followed the initial rejection by a lower court last year.
According to court documents acquired by Automotive News, Lieb was found to have "accepted payments of substantial value to which he - as he was aware - had no claim."
Lieb took over American operations from former CEO Paul Halata in September of 2006. Reports surfaced in October of 2011 that Lieb was dismissed from his posting at MB, with a variety of rumors swirling. Eventually, news broke that financial wrong doing was responsible for the German's firing.
Europe getting special Mercedes-Benz CLA Edition 1
Mon, 11 Feb 2013Last week when we saw the leaked ordering guide for the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class, one particular image caught our eye showing the interior of the new sedan with a neon yellow stripe on the seats and yellow stitching throughout the cabin. As it turns out, this will be part of a limited-edition model called the Edition 1 about which Mercedes-Benz just released some information.
Usually, automakers wait until later in a vehicle's life to introduce special models like this, but the Edition 1 will be available right out of the gate for the first 12 months the CLA-Class is on sale. The 2014 CLA-Class Edition 1 includes the more aggressive Sport package adding AMG-style fascias and wheels, Bi-Xenon headlights and a lowered suspension; it will be offered only in five colors - unfortunately, Northern Lights Purple is not one of them. In addition to the bright yellow cabin accents, the Edition 1 will get sport seats wrapped in leather and microfiber, a sporty, flat-bottom steering wheel wrapped in Nappa leather and real aluminum trim on the instrument panel.
With no mention of the US, we're only left to imagine that this car will not be arriving on our shores, but customers in Europe will definitely be able to enjoy the mean styling and funky interior with prices ranging from 35,402 euros up to 43,940 euros.
Autoblog drives to the Arctic Circle
Fri, 22 Mar 2013In Which Mercedes' Sprinter Becomes A Long-Distance Sherpa
In the wintery wilds of northern Alaska, even the cute little critters want to kill you.
As I am about to nod off on my long leg flight from Minneapolis to Anchorage ahead of driving to the Arctic Circle, the friendly twenty-something Alaskan knitting furiously in the seat next to me pauses and says, "When you're driving up there, don't open your windows." In the dead of winter? I hadn't planned on cruising alfresco, but her warning to keep the glazing snugged against the weatherstripping is one I would take to heart. She continues: "If you leave 'em open, a fox is liable to jump right in. There are lots of rabid foxes up there, and they leap into your car and just Go. To. Town." And here I was, thinking that a curious bear or maybe an ill-placed moose in the road was going to be my biggest potential four-legged threat. In the wintery wilds of northern Alaska, even the cute little critters want to kill you.
