Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"The AC does not blow... can be fixed, but is not operable at this time. Left rear window does not go up or down. There is an indentation in the front left fender. The sunroof opens and closes but needs manual assistance to do so. The paint on the roof is damaged/scratched, behind the sunroof. The vehicle has a minor oil leak which is more noticeable after it has been run for quite awhile... doesn't leak unless having just been run. A few cracks in the dashboard, but has a nice dash cover. Passenger side door cannot be unlocked with key, but driver's side lock and handle are new."

You are bidding on a 1980 Mercedes Benz 300 SD Turbo Diesel, w116 chassis. This is the longer, "saloon" style of the 300 diesel. Very roomy throughout, and very comfortable. Nearly all of the vehicle is original -- the radio still works, all upholstery is original (and in pretty good shape... only a few small tears in the seams of the driver's seat).

Let me describe what I wish was not imperfect with this vehicle:

-- The AC does not blow. It can be fixed, but is not operable at this time.

-- The left rear window does not go up or down.

-- There is an indentation in the front left fender.

-- The sunroof opens and closes but needs manual assistance to do so.

-- There is a series of small scratches in the paint on the roof, behind the sunroof.

-- The vehicle has a minor oil leak which is more noticeable after it has been run for quite awhile. Doesn't leak unless having just been run.

-- There are a few cracks in the dashboard, but has a nice dash cover.

-- Passenger side door cannot be unlocked with key, but driver's side lock and handle are new.

The car is 33 years old, and I would say is in above-average condition for other Mercedes its age. I have only made the car better since owning it, and have added 10,000 miles to its odometer, which is at nearly 234,000. The interior is in pretty decent shape; I would say 8 out of 10. I have replaced a handful of items on the car; the shocks, v-belts, valve cover gasket & other gaskets, 4 CV boots, the tires (approx. 7000 miles on them now), the vacuum system, the brake booster, front brake pads, rear flex plate, shifter bushings, fuel filter, and the turbocharger system. Like all diesels, it is at its best once it has been on the road and at cruising speed. It has decent acceleration, and it still rides very comfortably. Great candidate for converting to a biodiesel fuel vehicle... it gets nearly 30 mpg, and has a huge tank. I had planned on continuing to improve it, but mom and dad sold me their Accord for an excellent price, and my Benz has to go. Truly, I'd rather not sell it, but hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

I am the third owner, having purchased it nearly three years ago. Payment can be done through PayPal only, and shipping is buyer's responsibility. Title is clear. Please email with questions.

2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class caught totally undisguised

Mon, 18 Mar 2013

Based on the lightly camouflaged spy shots of the 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class we've seen lately, it hasn't taken a vivid imagination to picture what the next iteration of this big luxury sedan will look like. Even so, we now we have our first unobstructed views of the redesigned S-Class, codenamed W222, as it has just been caught out flaunting for some promo shots.
The first thing we notice about the new S-Class design is the disappearance of the last generation's flared wheel arches. Yet the new design adds even more character with bodyside creases similar to the CLS-Class and some elements reminiscent of 2007's F700 Concept, including the massive grille and vertical LED taillights. Other key details include a large panoramic roof and the narrow exhaust outlets, but the large LED-trimmed headlights and the aggressive front fascia are probably the biggest departure from the current design. With these spy shots, we also catch a blurry shot of the interior, but we've seen a practically uncovered look at the new S-Class' cabin back in January.
Overall, the next S-Class sports an expressive and premium new look, but as far as all-new designs go, it's quite conservative - a move no doubt fitting for these lean financial times.

2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

Make way for the 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG, the most wonderfully preposterous car I have ever driven.
There is absolutely no reason why any two-seat roadster should be fitted with a twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V12 developing 621 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque, but I sure am glad that Mercedes-Benz doesn't see things that way.
Drop into the leather-lined cockpit of this $213,145 provocateur, floor the accelerator pedal as I did over and over again, and 60 miles per hour falls in a traction-limited 3.9 seconds. Top speed has been electronically held to 186 mph (this apparently saves Gulfstream jet owners from embarrassment). Forget the SL550 and SL63 AMG, the valets will trip over themselves attending to the tycoon driving this thoroughbred - it's the real deal.

2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class revealed again in 1:18 scale

Fri, 10 May 2013

There is plenty to look forward to when it comes to the 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class, but it could end up being a fairly anticlimactic reveal thanks to fully exposed spy shots, a leaked press photo and now images of a diecast version of the luxury sedan. Autoweek.nl has images showing a highly detailed 1:18 scale model of the redesigned S-Class that matches up with everything we've seen so far.
This isn't the first time a model car spoiled a new vehicle's reveal, as the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class and 2013 SRT Viper were both unceremoniously revealed in toy form first. World Car Fans is reporting that the car 2014 S-Class will be officially unveiled on May 15, but at this point, all that's left to wonder about is the official on-sale date and what will be under the hood.
