1979 Mercedes Benz 300TD wagon 5 cylinder diesel, 4 speed manual (as originally equipped), euro trim with extensive work already done, but still needing more time than I, a new father, have. Mileage unknown Car is all manual, including windows, sunroof, locks. Sale of car includes as much of a half a garage full of parts as you want, including a second sunroof, a passenger fender, a new exhaust system, another set of almost perfect bundt pans. Parts accrued from various 123 cars over a few years, so there is alot of stuff, but also alot of redundant stuff, e.g., 3 instrument clusters. Car has original fabric interior although front seats are replacements out of a low mile 300SD. Fabric seats in garage and in poor shape. Rear tex seats also available, but rear seats are currently original fabric in good shape. Car drives fine, stable at highway speeds, starts every time, and runs quietly and smoothly. The car spent much of its life in CA, and has rust in places that reflect dried gaskets and rain rather than snow. The floors are absolutely perfect. There is rust in the front rockers, bases of doors but not door sills, rear rockers, and misc spots around. Nothing is that bad, but needs to be dealt with sooner. The paint on the car is poor and cheap, and the car should be stripped. I am pretty sure there is bondo in the right rear quarter as there is paint cracking there. All glass is fine, headliner is poor, carpets ok, interior trim generally ok. I have much of what could be replaced in the pile of parts I have. In short, this is a great, reliable car, which is an honest and worthy candidate for a high quality restoration but could also be driven until it drops decades from now. Part of the package, if wanted could also be a biodiesel setup with hand pump, 55 gallon drum, as well as large container with about 300 gallons of B20.

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 has already booked 30k orders for new S-Class
Mon, 21 Oct 2013When Toyota snags 30,000 Corolla orders over a three-month span, it's entirely possible we're in the midst of a global economic collapse and that the end is nigh. That's because the scale for Toyota is so very large. Mercedes-Benz, on the other hand, operates on a much smaller scale, particularly when we talk about its higher-end models, like the S-Class.
In 2012, Mercedes sold 65,000 of its flagship sedans in Germany and the EU. That's 178 units per day, for 365 days. Based on that, you can imagine the excitement at Stuttgart when it accepted 30,000 orders for the new S-Class in just three months. That's an average of 333 per day on a continent with a notoriously shaky economy. Now, admittedly, this enthusiasm could wane as the refitted S-Class becomes more common and Mercedes achieves market saturation in Europe's many chauffeur and livery services, but Mercedes isn't choosing to look at it that way.
"The new S-Class has already jumped back into the lead in terms of new vehicle registrations in Germany and its neighboring European countries," Mercedes-Benz head of sales and marketing, Ola Kaellenius, said in a statement last week.
Mercedes says it's tops in luxury sales for 2012, not BMW
Tue, 19 Feb 2013It turns out that Mercedes-Benz North America has legitimate claim to being the top selling luxury nameplate in the US in 2012.
While sources such as Autodata had put BMW in the top spot, registration data from R.L. Polk shows that Mercedes customers registering new vehicles topped the Bavarian automaker in the most recent calendar year. Polk says Benz posted 274,123 registrations, compared with BMW's 268,498.
In terms of sales posted, BMW had bested Benz 281,460 to 274,134. But sales are recorded somewhat inconsistently from automaker to automaker. Some book the sales as soon as they are shipped from factory to dealer. There is perennial gamesmanship between the two German rivals, and the sales numbers suggest that BMW pushed out some extra sheetmetal to dealers in the last four weeks of the year.
