This Mercedes Benz 300 SD Turbo Diesel starts up quick reliable transportation still keeps purring after 34 years


The vehicle has an engine from a 1984 300 D with 160,000 miles. Dashboard has a few small cracks from sun that's why I have a dashboard cover but normal for a 34 year old car in Texas. Tire wear is about 70% will need new tires soon. Paint is a one year old the original color was chocolate brown new color is a Mercedes tuxedo black. Front seats are original and a brand new back seat 1 year old took it to a company that reupholsters euro cars. Transmission shifts excellent no leaks.

Does leak oil about 4 drops very minimal nothing major normal for a 34 year old diesel car. Does have a small vacuum leak for doors but all doors lock with no problem if done manually. Trunk locks as well original color was a chocolate brown. Doesn't have working AC compressor it went bad and don't have time. Heater works excellent as you can see on video missing moulding on driver side near fender well or left driver side wheel someone stole it while I was grocery shopping and when I came back moulding was gone luckily I had the car locked unfortunately never caught the thief. 

Upgraded Euro headlights still have original working round head lights in trunk. This car still has plenty of more life in it has gotten me from point A to B without a problem just regular oil changes, hand car wash don't trust a car wash machine with those giant rollers and given it TLC the way a Classic Mercedes Deserves to be treated.

All windows work I just don't roll them completely down as with my W126 first car I rolled window completely down when ordering food at a drive through the plastic shoes for window regulators become weak with slamming doors as little kids do and don't know how to properly close these heavy doors which is a NO NO for any German Car well that broke and learned to never do that again and was kind of expensive to repair. 

No rust under car. Not in a hurry to sell this car I really love it has been very good to me.  I m selling way below what's its worth if you go to NADA.com the condition of the car is above average condition and valued at over $10,000 and low value at over $6,350 but I m selling it at a fair reasonable offer considering our nations economy. 

Not many of these cars around anymore and certainly not with a healthy running and purring 1984 W123 Chassis 300D engine which was in high demand & production since the 1980s and sold thousands because of  high consumer satisfaction reviews and well known for its engine reliablity for the Diesel W123's models as well as the solid W116 300 SD and only Diesel model in that chassis. 

I m selling this car from my Mercedes and BMW collection and don't need that many its just I love Mercedes and BMW's and Audi's they're excellent well built and engineered solid cars and when I see a good offer, clean car, strong engine I right away take advantage of that opportunity.

 

Yes I m the owner selling this car have clean title in hand. No Accidents Clear clean title private listing. Not an annoying car salesman here So no car dealer fees or any of those other crazy fees they charge.

Mercedes dealers authorized to spend $2,500 on perks for S-Class customers

Mon, 02 Dec 2013

If you drop $100,000 on a luxury sedan, it seems only reasonable to receive some preferential treatment at the dealership you purchased from. After all, that price isn't just for the car - you're paying for the brand and all the cachet that entails. For Mercedes-Benz, those benefits have apparently been lacking relative to the German brand's luxury competitors.
That's set to change, though, as Automotive News reports that the German brand is placing a much greater emphasis on keeping its customers happy and loyal with its MB Select program. Starting with the new S-Class and spreading to the CLA-Class (and eventually beyond), dealers are being given money - up to $2,500 in the case of the flagship sedan - just to improve the customer experience.
We agree, improving the "customer experience" is quite a vague term, so it's nice that Mercedes USA's CEO, Steve Cannon, offered up some examples to AN at the LA Auto Show. For example, a customer couldn't fit his sunglasses into the overhead compartment. "So we bought him a pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses that fit because of their shape," Cannon said.

Mercedes Concept GLA45 AMG is ready to run

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

This 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-AMG GT attacks Circuit of the Americas

Fri, 12 Sep 2014

Mercedes-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.)
