For sale is a 1981 Mercedes Benz 300D. Finished in Astral Silver Metallic which was the color first introduced on the Mercedes 300sl Gullwing. Interior color is a Twin Pacific Blue Mercedes Benz textile. There have been many recent improvements to this classic Mercedes. The engine and many other systems were restored at 200,000 miles and i have recently spent $3,000.00 on parts and maintenance at the Mercedes dealership in anticipation for the sale. This car was also celebrity owned and for its entire life has been kept in a temperature controlled garage. The Mercedes classic center would be jealous of this car, and i have received many compliments from my local Mercedes Benz club members on the condition! Anyone who knows Mercedes diesels knows this is the real deal. The W123 is refered to by most as the best Mercedes EVER!!! If you are looking for a stunning 1980's Mercedes then look no futher! This is the real McCoy and has many more decades of life left in it.
As you can see by the pictures this car has been babied its entire life. This car was consistently stored for all winter months and always had a fresh coat of wax. For the full list of refurbishments please call me but here are a few. Professional detailing, new Bosch car battery, new hood insulation pad, all correct maintenance services for the mileage including oil change, valve adjustment, motor mounts, oil filter, fuel filter, air filter, injection pump cleaning service, fuel treatment, and all bulbs were checked and replaced. The last owner was so OCD and meticulous about maintenance that he actually had a pair of wrenches custom bent to mimic the ones from the dealership so he could do his own valve adjustments. I have an extra set of navy blue mats and some cup holders that i am also including. Comes with three distinct Mercedes keys and handy dandy bottle opener.
There are no rips in the seats or carpets and even though it is an older vehicle is more comfortable to ride in than many modern day cars. Engine starts right up in hot or cold weather, transmission shifts effortlessly. Check out my videos, just email me for the links!!! I do a walk around of the car and i get in start it and take it for a spin.
I have all my receipts(even more then were in the pictures) from the maintenance and tons of repair records and extra information on this W123. This Mercedes is in amazing condition for its age, but is not without minor blemishes. There is a minor dent in the back left quarter panel and some paint chipped off in two small places near the fuel door. Both spots are smaller then my pinky fingernail. Clean auto check/Carfax and title, and i will be happy to overnight the title to the new owner as soon as receipt of payment is received. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to give me a call 484-885-3168 or send me an email.
This car is sold as is where is with no warranties expressed or implied and i will require a signed bill of sale for insurance purposes before the car ships out. As far as shipping is concerned any expenses are the responsibility of the buyer but i may be able to give some direction on which shippers to use depending on your location. I will expect full payment within 72 hours of purchase by either cash in person, bank wire transfer or certified bank check. Pickup of vehicle should be within two weeks of purchase unless another arrangement is made. I reserve the right to end this auction at any time and charge a storage fee if pickup is delayed without permission of the seller. Again please don't hesitate to call or email!!!
Thanks,
Nate :)

Brabus to storm Geneva with 800-hp version of Mercedes SL65 AMG
Wed, 27 Feb 2013At no point during our recent drive of the 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG did we ever think, "You know, this thing sure is slow." After all, Merc's range-topping SL comes fitted with a twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V12 capable of sending 621 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels. But just in case you're still all "meh" about what the SL65 throws down, Brabus will gladly come to your rescue with this, the 800 Roadster.
As its name suggests, the 800 Roadster ups the V12's power figures to 800 horsepower and - wait for it - 1,047 pound-feet of torque. Don't get too excited, though - that torque number has been electronically limited to a measly 811 lb-ft since, you know, the transmission would probably explode if you tried to put the full force through it. Nevertheless, these represent increases of 79 hp and 73 lb-ft over the standard SL65, and that means the 800 Roadster can shoot to 62 miles per hour in just 3.7 seconds - two-tenths of a second quicker than the Merc its based on. More impressively, hitting 124 mph takes just under 10 seconds, and the droptop will finally top out at an electronically limited - limited! - 217 mph. Holy smokes.
To manage all of that speed, Brabus has engineered a special carbon fiber aero kit that reduces lift, and a unique control module for the SL65's active body control suspension lowers the ride height by one full inch. The 800 Roadster rides on new 20-inch wheels, and a unique limited-slip rear differential was added, featuring a 40 percent locking rate that further enhances performance when you're attempting to control the beast at its limits. Interior upgrades include new leather and alcantara surfaces throughout the cabin, including a leather-clad trunk.
Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG is Affalterbach's first big leap into the little pond
Tue, 05 Mar 2013The recent history of AMG is turning out amped-up versions of Mercedes-Benz offerings that would hardly ever be mistaken for their sedate counterparts. Sure, you'd need to pay attention to pick a G-Class from the G63 AMG, but dual side-pipes are a quick giveaway. The Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG is not only a new era in Affalterbach's attention on smaller cars, it is probably also the most subtle transformation we can think of in the line-up.
Low and chunky enough in standard guise to make a sporting impression, the aesthetic makeover is confined to black trim around the lower rim of the hatch, black wheels with red brake calipers and a single, rectangular exhaust tip on either side of the diffuser. It's easier to make a positive ID inside, where the flat-bottomed steering wheel, red seatbelts and red-rimmed details say, "You know what I am..."
If the car is running, though, it won't take but a second. The 2.0-liter turbo spitting 360 horsepower and 332 pound-feet will grumble through a sport exhaust at idle, and bellow through the same on it's way to a 0-60 time of less than 4.5 seconds. And if you need something that looks a little harder - and you want those quad pipes - then the A45 AMG Edition 1 is the treasure you seek. There's a press release below for all the info you'll need until the hot hatch goes on sale in Germany later this year, and photos for the rest of us while we wait to find out if we'll get a chance to buy it.
Mercedes-Benz releases US-spec 2014 Sprinter details
Mon, 06 May 2013Last week, Mercedes-Benz released the details for the updated 2013 Sprinter intended for global markets, but this week it has announced what changes are being made to the US-spec version of the van for the 2014 model year, including the Freightliner model. As expected, most of the changes made to the European model will be present on the 2014 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter when it goes on sale in the US, which is expected to be this fall.
The biggest difference between the Sprinter announced last week and the one headed to our shores is what is found under the hood. While European Sprinters will come with diesel engines and offer the availability of a supercharged four-cylinder gasoline or CNG engine, US Sprinters will still offer the 3.0-liter V6 BlueTEC diesel. This year's Sprinter now comes standard with a new base engine, the 2.1-liter four-cylinder BlueTEC diesel. This smaller engine will produce 161 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque, and will be paired to a seven-speed automatic transmission; the optional 3.0 V6 puts out 188 hp and 325 lb-ft of torque, and will be mated to a six-speed auto.
Fuel economy for the new Sprinter has not been announced, but Mercedes-Benz has made numerous changes with the goal of improving efficiency. To this end you'll find a new, low-friction rear axle and the optimization for the generator, fuel pump and power steering pump.
