1985 Mercedes Benz 300 Sd S-class Turbo Diesel - One Owner Only 123k Miles on 2040-cars
Stuart, Florida, United States
A one-owner 1985 Mercedes Benz 300 SD S-Class turbo diesel. This S-Class diesel has only 122,800 miles. It has always been garaged, never any smokers, no accidents, rust or bdy work. The Astral silver exterior is like-new. The car has never been to an auto car wash, and has always been handwashed. The dark blue leather interior is in excellent condition, with no rips, tears, or wear marks. The MB 300 SD has been dealer maintained since new. The tires are new with only 2000 miles. The Mercedes battery is two years old, and comes with a built in battery maintainer. The diesel engine also has a factory block heater. Equipment includes power windows, power seats, cruise control, and power sunroof. The stereo is an AM/FM cassette from the factory. Weather band is included, as is a power antenna. I purchased this fine Mercedes Benz from a dealer in Maryland, and kept the car at my home in Annapolis, MD until bringing the car to my home in Stuart, FL in 2005. It has alway been garaged, and has been well cared for since new. A car phone was installed in 1985, and it still mounted in the car, but is inoperable at present. The turbo diesel has plenty of power, and gets approximately 26 mpg on the highway. This S-Class Mercedes is one of the finest models Mercedes built. The ride is firm, but luxurious. At car shows, this fine automobile always gets high marks. While not a show car, it is as nice as a 1985 daily driver can get. Among some of the recent upgrades are new brakes, new engine mounts, and new tires. The car is comfortable, quiet, safe, and economical. There are no scratches or dents. There is one parking lot ding on the right rear door. And the windshield has a small chip smaller than a dime. The air conditioning system needs to be recharged. And we upgraded the headlights to brighter, sharper fixtures. Amber fog lamps are great at night or in rain or fog. If you want a fine, classic Mercedes Benz sedan, here is a fine example of an S-Class sedan.

Zetsche's CEO tenure extended through 2016 at Daimler
Sun, 24 Feb 2013There appear to be two takes on Daimler CEO Dieter Zetsche having his contract extended for three more years, to 2016. A report in The Detroit News quotes the chairman of Daimler's supervisory board, Manfred Bischoff, talking up the stability at the top, "With today's extensions of the contracts of Dieter Zetsche and Thomas Weber, we are maintaining the important continuity at the top executive level." Bischoff also stated that that Zetsche has a plan to "further enhance Daimler's overall performance."
Over at Reuters, though, the three-year extension was seen as a lack of complete confidence in Zetsche's plans, since his contract was supposedly meant to be extended by five years. A spokesman said the board decided to extend executive contracts by only three years if the person was 60 or would turn 60 during the contract, but that was news to observers. Zetsche wants to make Mercedes-Benz the top selling luxury manufacturer globally by 2020, but has fallen to third place behind Audi and BMW. It hasn't held the top spot 2005, and investors judged it valued at half that of BMW at the end of 2012 once Daimler's truck business was subtracted.
Analysts cites the fact that Daimler stock hasn't bested its rivals but twice in twelve years, and that the company revised its profit target downward last year by nearly one billion euros, warning of stagnant earnings this year and will miss its original margin target for 2013.
Aston Martin and Mercedes-AMG formalize technical partnership
Thu, 19 Dec 2013The development of a partnership between Mercedes-Benz and Aston Martin has been a long time coming. The news dates back to 2008, and over the five years since was supposed to lead to a rejuvenation of both the Maybach and Lagonda brands. That program ultimately fell apart, but the tie-in was forged afresh in July when the two automakers signed a letter of intent over a renewed partnership. And now that partnership has been formalized.
In a deal just announced, Mercedes-AMG will build a new V8 engine for Aston Martin that will power a new generation of luxury GTs for the British marque, presumably to replace the 4.7-liter V8 in the Vantage. The relationship appears to be similar to the one already in place between AMG and Pagani, only in this case, will involve Daimler taking as much as a five-percent stake in Aston Martin and an observer seat on Aston's board.
The technical partnership is also set to lead to the supply of electric and electronic systems, and could incorporate "additional areas of cooperation in the future." Whether that will include a fresh attempt at reviving Lagonda remains to be seen, as does the future of Aston's long-serving, Ford-based 6.0-liter V12 engine. But for now you can read the full announcement below.
Rare Isdera Imperator 108i flexes its considerable muscles
Mon, 05 Aug 2013The Isdera Imperator 108i is a remarkably rare supercar from the late 80s and early 90s. Born of a Mercedes-Benz concept car, it's powered by a range of AMG-developed V8s, with five to six liters of displacement, depending on the engine. The example shown here, lapping the legendary Spa-Francorchamps circuit, features the most potent 6.0-liter V8 available. And rather than just being driven about on a perfectly clean racing line, it's freaking power sliding!
Yes, there's something eternally childlike about a wedge-shaped supercar from our formative years being flung about a Belgian racetrack. Adding to the appeal is the Imperator's stumpy, periscopic rear mirror, sticking out of the roof. Even after being out of production for 20 years, this is still a wild, wild car and we'd happily snap up the opportunity pilot one of the 36 Isderas that were built. Take a look below for the full video from Spa.
