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 further!  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 :)

Mercedes says it's tops in luxury sales for 2012, not BMW

Tue, 19 Feb 2013

It 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.

LA To The Grand Canyon In The Mercedes-Benz Of RVs
Piloting an 8,500-pound motorized house down the highway is far from my idea of fun, yet inexplicably, I'm enjoying myself. My grin has nothing to do with my camper's handling, as this heavily accoutered Mercedes-Benz Sprinter drives like a 25-foot long breadbox. My smile has nothing to do with on-road stability, as the ten-foot-tall, slab-sided vehicle reacts to wind gusts like the vertical stabilizer on a Boeing jet. My delight has nothing to do with its throttle or braking response, either, as both are as numb as your forehead after the eighth beer.
This monstrosity makes me happy for one reason - my passengers are undeniably having a good time.
