1982 Mercedes 240 D In Very Good, Original Condition...low Miles! on 2040-cars
Norwalk, Ohio, United States
|
Up for auction is a very solid, original 1982 Mercedes 240D. The W123 sedan has a timeless styling that still commands attention. Finished in the much sought after China Blue color, the car is complemented by the beautiful blue interior, including the uber rare uncracked blue dash. I get compliments wherever I drive her.
This car is not a time capsule perfect car. I've had those, I've sold those, but this is a very solid original car that you can either drive every day or restore to a show winner. It's more of a diamond in the rough...a workhorse of a car that will bring untold satisfaction to an owner who appreciates what it is. I acquired this car in February of '06 from a Texas couple who took loving care of her. I've put about 4,000 miles on it, and have concentrated on the mechanical side of things. I have maintained it by changing the synthetic Rotella oil every 3000 miles and changing belts and brakes as needed. It has new front rotors and pads and new filters. With just 67,000 miles, it has decades and hundreds of thousands of miles of service left in her. The body is very original and solid. As you can see from the photos, there is one rust area at the bottom of the driver's door. Additionally, there are numerous dings and dents and a few places of surface rust but not serious. Behind the passenger side rear wheel it looks like it took a pretty good whack (see photos), but to be honest I never noticed this until today when I was crawling around under the car looking for flaws. The underside is very clean otherwise. The whole body could use a good rubbing out...it has some oxidation. But again, very original and very solid. A great car to drive or restore. Mechanically, it's very solid and very reliable. I would not hesitate to take it on an extended journey. In fact, I just took it for a 450 mile weekend and it ran like a top. Things to be aware of are the antenna motor is not working (I just keep it up, the radio is wonderful), the A/C needs an R12 charge, the cruise surges and the fuel gauge is a bit funky (needs a sender unit cleaning, not a hard job.) On the interior, the wood trim on the console has some minor finish checks and the sun visors are puffy. Not sure what that is. The netting on the back of the front seats is nice and tight and the MB tex upholstery is darn near perfect. Carpets are great, and again the dash is perfect, a real rarity among the blue interiors. This is a wonderful car. I really hate to get rid of her but I need to thin the herd. I am a well known Mercedes Club of America owner and am active on several Mercedes forums. I have sold numerous Mercedes on eBay and would encourage you to check my feedback. I always describe the cars accurately so there are no undo expectations. This one is a real special car. Please only bid if you are serious and ready to buy. I can help you arrange shipping. Email me with any questions. This is your car! Happy bidding! |

Mercedes Concept GLA45 AMG is ready to run
Wed, 20 Nov 2013This is the Mercedes-Benz Concept GLA45 AMG, and what we mean by that is, "This is the Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG." Mercedes has just unveiled the liveried 'concept' at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show, giving potential customers a very good look at the newest lunatic in the AMG asylum - a 355-horsepower, 332-pound-foot crossover that uses the same 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine found in the CLA45 AMG and Europe's A45 AMG.
Joined with a seven-speed, AMG Speedshift dual-clutch transmission and an AMG Performance 4Matic all-wheel-drive system, Mercedes promises a sub-five-second run to 60 miles per hour. That's not just quick for a crossover, that's quick full stop.
That sleek, lifted body has also been tweaked by the minds at AMG's Affalterbach facility. A new rear spoiler, side sills and front clip are the primary aerodynamic tweaks. Aesthetically, AMG has fitted the requisite "Turbo" badges, gloss-black accents (including exhaust tips and roof rails) and a set of 21-inch, AMG-spec alloy wheels to round out the overall package. Based on the spy shots we've seen, expect slightly toned down aerodynamics when the GLA45 AMG arrives in showrooms.
Mercedes considering GLA-based crossover coupe
Wed, 30 Apr 2014BMW opened a whole Pandora's Box when it introduced the X6 back in 2008. Sure it made little sense, sacrificing all that "utility" for a little more "sport," but it's been a solid success for BMW - especially considering the nominal expense it cost to develop the X6 on top of the X5 on which it's based. Little wonder that, while BMW has already followed up with a smaller version in the form of the X4, other automakers are starting to catch up. And that includes Mercedes-Benz.
The German automaker is preparing to launch a new MLC, based on the M-Class but with a sportier silhouette, and previewed it with the Concept Coupe SUV at the Beijing Motor Show. But that's just the start, according to the latest report from Automotive News Europe.
Mercedes is reportedly considering spinning off an entire line of crossovers more for use on the road than off it. Which may go without saying for most crossovers on the market, but considering the Geländwagen with which Mercedes got its start in SUVs, would mean an even further departure than it has undertaken already.
EVO "2012 Car of the Year: The Track Battles" is a sports car salmagundi
Sun, 25 Nov 2012EVO has come out with another gotta-watch-it video, throwing its 2012 Car of the Year contestants around the UK's 1.5-mile Blyton Park track. It's actually a 15-minute teaser for the full-length DVD detailing the magazine's Car of the Year selection, but the tease is worth every penny free second.
Tiff Needell and sports car racer Richard Meaden handle the wheel duties, the two driving five pairs of sports cars: Lotus Exige S vs. Porsche Boxster S, Morgan Three-Wheeler vs. Toyota GT86, BMW M135i vs. Porsche 911, Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series vs. Alpina B3 GT3, the marquee event pits the McLaren MP4-12C vs. the Pagani Huayra. After a head-to-head lap with commentary during drifts, Meaden takes each car out to set a representative lap time.
You'll find the verdicts, lots of tire smoke, and lines like "Anything you can do sideways I can do sideways" in the video below.
