1985 Mercedes Benz 300d Diesel Automatic Cream Color 300d 4dr Sedan Rwd A4 on 2040-cars
Oakland, California, United States
1985 300D DIESEL : This car's VIN listed is correct - do a google search on VIN check and it comes up - Im not sure why ebay can't find it. It has a clear title of which I have ready to transfer to new owner and 2 keys for the vehicle. We've had the car since 2011
The Good: 1. Starts up every time and nice clean body 2. Electrical components are working: sunroof, vacuum lock system recently adjusted at mechanic shop, power windows, wtc. 3. Working Air Conditioning (we had it professionally replaced in summer 2012 with new a/c unit AND replaced climate control unit in car - so both functioning to provide A/C and heating) 4. Upgraded stereo speakers, ipod adapter (just plug it in and ur grooving!) AND removeable stereo interface for security. 5. Tires: Lots of tread on tires (all replaced in Dec of 2012) They are Spen Touring 60,000 miles tires that also have hazard protection for 3 years (so until Dec 2015) on them from BIG O' Tires (for nails n things) plus free tire rotation with life of tires 6. Lots of work put into the car including new control arms, tie rods, new battery (Feb. 2012), replaced diesel transfer hoses (summer 2013) fixing leaks, glow plugs, hoses, new bosch alternator (Feb. 2012), New Drive Belts (Feb. 2012) New rear brake pads & rotors (Nov. 2011), New front brake pads & rotors (May 2010) replaced strut rod bushings (2012) Not So Good: 1. Has a new leak (these cars seem to always leak) 2. The transmission appears to run "sluggish". We had our mechanic drive it around and he said "It's going to need a transmission tune-up". You're more than welcome to call the mechanic and ask if he has any other comments about it or cost. Its a professional mechanic shop in S.F Ca. (email for details) 3. The radiator was professionally replaced by the previous owner but our new mechanic said it appears to be a lot older than the install date. I called the mechanic about it and he was not helpful so the radiator may need some work down the line OR could get replaced by this mechanic if pushed. 4. The Glove Compartment (which was fixed once) doesnt stay closed - easy fix. 5. The passenger side mirror is missing (not the expensive part just the cheap insert of the actual mirror that is glued in) Value: This car has a lot of value in it; over $15,000 worth of parts & labor combined in past 5 years by us and previous owner. The a/c unit alone costs over $1,000 for parts, professional installation and warraty, new climate control unit over $200, the battery cost over $100, the new bosch alternator $220+, new tires $400+, the sound system (new speakers with ipod hook-up and removeable stereo face) countless other small parts like glow plugs, tie rods etc. In the event the new owner ever decides to stop driving it - this car qualifies for $1,000 in CA. for having it taken off the road. Per That's about it - it is a California car so rust is minimal if any (a tiny rust spot on hood of car from leaving the key on it for a week in the rain - so minor). It also comes with an extra passenger rear door that previous owner bought just because of a dent in the one currently on the vehicle. The interior is in pretty good shape too for its age. |

Russia gives its Olympic medalists new Mercedes
Thu, 27 Feb 2014Russian medalists at the recently concluded Sochi Winter Olympics are being rewarded quite handsomely for their service to the Motherland. In addition to the $120,000 being handed out for each gold medal, the $76,000 being awarded for slivers and $52,000 given to bronze winners, now word has come out that each of Russia's medalists will be gifted a new Mercedes-Benz.
As with the prize amounts, the type of Mercedes offered was based on what sort of medal was won. Gold medalists got a new GL-Class, silver medalists were given an ML and bronze medalists were treated to a GLK. As prices for Mercedes are higher in Russia, the cheapest model, the GLK, was the equivalent of $59,500, according to The Moscow Times. The cars were handed out by Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, pictured above with figure skating medalist Julia Lipnitskaia.
"I was a bit shocked at the car I was given," Anton Shipulin, a member of the gold-medal biathlon relay team, told RIA-Novosti. "Of course I knew what kind of model it would be, but I didn't totally believe it." For athletes not old enough to drive, like 15-year-old Lipnitskaia, their Mercedes will come complete with a driver.
Mercedes-AMG GT attacks Circuit of the Americas
Fri, 12 Sep 2014Mercedes-Benz is having a banner year with its Formula One team. Through 2014, the constructor has 454 championship points; ahead of its nearest competitor (Red Bull-Renault) by a margin of 182 tally marks. We're sure they can almost taste the champagne.
It's fitting then, and a little big cocky in a good way, that Mercedes has released a video of its newest sports car at an F1 venue. In this case, the car is the lovely Mercedes-AMG GT S, and the racetrack is Austin's Circuit of the Americas.
Having seen the official photo set and scratched the surface of the technical specifications earlier this week, we're excited to finally hear the thing run. As you might guess, the deployment of 503 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque from the twin-turbo V8 is a motivating experience. Crank up your volume, and hit that play button. (Oh, and Mercedes shot the thing in 4K, too, so those of you with expensive televisions/monitors should take heed to the settings.)
Maybach could become Mercedes-Benz sub-brand
Wed, 22 Jun 2011When you're arriving in a twin-turbocharged, twelve-cylinder Maybach limo, there's no reason you should ever have to be late. Except, maybe, to make a fashionable entrance. But up at the corporate level, the entire Maybach brand is being slowed down as critical decisions about its future are being undertaken.
Last week, we reported that a decision on what path Maybach would take going forward would be due at the start of next month, but the latest reports indicate that the timeframe has been extended as further options are being considered.
The previous options under consideration were twofold: either relaunch the brand with production outsourced to Aston Martin - which suddenly finds itself with excess production capacity - or shut it down completely. And those are still two very real options. Word has it that Aston has put together four concept cars for the Daimler brass to consider, all based on the next-generation S-Class platform (and thankfully not the old one).
