’84 Mercedes Non Turbo Manual 300d Euro Spec Gray Market on 2040-cars
Tulsa, Oklahoma, United States
|
This amazing car was vandalized on New Years Eve and I have been debating all this time about selling. I have come to the conclusion that I must. It is still a great car, but now it will need a front and rear windshield, both the passenger windows, grill, and headlight glass. The lights themselves are still working. I went out today after she had been sitting covered for 3 months through winter and she started on the 1st try. I drove her around one last time in the neighborhood. I Love this car and she was my daily driver, but she needs someone who can fix her. Pictures of the glass were taken on the morning after, so the broken glass has been cleaned up. This is the description & pictures I was going to use before it was vandalized & the after pics as well. The inside was not vandalized so it still looks like the pics. The only damage was to the back right passenger window trim which was dented so it will need to be opened up a bit to allow the glass to move freely. This car is being sold as is. This is a Gray Market Mercedes 300D with a manual 4 Speed transmission, non turbo. Gray Market means it was originally sold in Germany for the European market then imported to the US by an individual. The VIN is WDB1231301A019864 and is currently insured with State Farm. The smaller front and back bumpers are a dead give a way too. I purchased it from the son of the original owner. His father imported it for his German born wife in 1984 who wanted a “German” car. I have taken 77 pictures to give you a good idea of the overall condition and it also has some killer BBS rims. It is in great condition for its age mechanically and the interior is really in great shape. It does leak a little oil and it does have a few rust stops, but crazy fun to drive. Odometer reads 118K, but it has not worked right for about 7 months. Title in hand.
All the following electronics work; lights, blinkers, radio, wipers, front driver’s / passenger windows, sunroof, fuel, temp, and oil pressure gauges.
Both back windows are manual and work fine, but the driver side handle needs to be replaced. It works in its current state though.
Heater works like the German’s intended, warm and toasty. All speeds on blower motor work great as do the position settings.
Not working; Odometer works from time to time, gauge cluster light, both of these are notorious for going out and are relatively cheap fixes, and the AC. The doors do not lock automatically with the vacuum system, but do work fine with the key.
Recent Work done by a Mercedes Mechanic;
Clutch Master and Slave cylinder both replaced
New Alternator Brush pack
New Alternator belt, power steering belt, and AC belt. Bosch Battery less than 3 months old and very nice BBS Rims. I have done my best to describe in detail the condition of the car, but please feel free to ask questions. It is being sold as is because of its age knowing it will continue to need TLC.

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).
Mercedes to market Tesla-powered 2014 B-Class EV in U.S.
Thu, 05 Jul 2012Looks like another Tesla Motors investor will be looking to cash in on their connection. Autoweek reports Mercedes-Benz will offer their B-Class in the U.S. with Tesla propulsion.
The magazine says their source at the German automaker confirms plans for a B-Class electric-only vehicle. While Tesla already provides battery packs for the battery-powered Smart ForTwo, the B-Class EV will reportedly have Tesla batteries, motor and other components. U.S. residents should be able to procure one sometime in 2014.
The same Mercedes source says plans for a hybrid B-Class have been postponed for now. Adding a range-extending, gasoline-powered engine to an electric vehicle would put the car into a different class for which rebates and incentives aren't as favorable in the States.
Next Mercedes-Benz GLK to get AMG variant? Not likely...
Fri, 15 Mar 2013If you think Mercedes-Benz will slap an AMG badge on anything with wheels, think again. Word has it the German manufacturer will not offer buyers a performance version of the GLK, with Tobias Moers, director of AMG vehicle development, saying that he doesn't see a market for the car. That's not to say the picture won't change in the near future, however. According to CarAdvice.com, AMG is keeping a close eye on the arrival of the Porsche Macan.
"Maybe there will be a change in the market when the Porsche [Macan] comes up," Moers said, "but right now, no."
The real hitch in the giddy-up seems to be cost. Moers says developing the machine into something worthy of an AMG would represent "a huge investment." We can't exactly argue with that. Fortunately, AMG buyers have plenty of Mercedes-Benz models to choose from.
