I have a lovely 1982 MERCEDES-BENZ 300 CD TURBO DIESEL to sell (VEGGIE READY!). Originally purchased as my daily driver, it quickly just became our car to just take on little trips around town. It's a great car and fun to drive, but we have another car and don't need the extra insurance costs. Brown exterior, tan leatherette interior. LOW miles (150,000), no body damage, NO accidents. Very clean car. This is the Mercedes that everyone wants. The engine lasts forever!! Your chance to own a lovely little classic. These cars have gone for over $20,000 at auction... We have put close to $5000 in the car updating various things. She is almost perfect.
Here is a link to information about this model of car (this is NOT info on my car up for sale...)

Clean title and regularly maintained by our German Auto specialist, this car is close to perfect. The very desirable 2-door coupe style is hard to find, especially in such nice condition. We have updated almost everything, internally, over the last few years. The engine runs perfectly and only has 150,000 miles. The engine in this car is not the original, it is new to the car. But it has 10,000 less than odometer reads. We have replaced almost everything else inside of the car (with the exception of the rear automatic windows). The cd player/radio/bluetooth audio/speakers are new but we still have the original one if you want that too.
Power windows and sunroof still work, but the back windows are very slow and we don't use them. Our mechanic said that these back windows are usually an issue on most of these cars, but we never really needed to use them so we never noticed. Loved having the sun/moonroof though, especially on warm CA nights. A/C works, but it does not blow super cold like air conditioners in modern cars.
I would say the only 'negatives' this car has are cosmetic issues, mainly to the interior. Car is in VERY nice condition, but the leather seats have cracked over the years in places due to sun damage (see photos). And it could definitely benefit from a good interior cleaning. There are also a couple of very tiny paint chips (no rust) on the exterior of the car (see photos). VERY small chips but you do notice that the car appears to have originally been a light blue color. We have all of the receipts for work we had done by German Prestige Auto and can put you in contact with our mechanic who can tell you more about the work done.
I have attached as many photos as I was allowed but have some others if interested. Please email and I will respond as soon as I can.

Aston or Bust? Maybach's fate to be decided next month
Mon, 13 Jun 20112011 Maybach 62 - Click above for high-res image gallery
What will become of Maybach? That question has been rattling around the halls of Daimler headquarters in Stuttgart for some time now. But all questions will be answered, and answered soon: according to reports, the German automaker is currently evaluating prototypes and propositions for its top-end marque, and will make its decision next month.
So, what are the options? On the one hand, Daimler could kill the Maybach brand altogether. It was a notion ill conceived and even more poorly executed, taking an old platform and building a new flagship atop it. In that way, it was sort of like the Chrysler Crossfire, only far more costly to both the buyer and manufacturer. On the other hand, Daimler could opt for the long-time-coming proposition of contracting the production (and possibly much of the development) of a new generation of Maybachs to Aston Martin.
Mercedes leads in US luxury car thefts
Wed, 31 Jul 2013Mercedes-Benz makes some fine automobiles. The Silver Arrow'd cars are so good, apparently, that thieves can't help but try to steal them. The German brand is at the top of the charts for luxury car thefts in the US, according to the National Insurance Crime Bureau, with New York City leading the way. (And those New Yorkers complain about Detroit being bad!)
The C-Class was the most stolen model, with 485 ganked between 2009 and 2012 in NYC alone, while the E-Class and S-Class (which also boasted the worst recovery rate, at 59 percent) both finished in the top ten. Following the C-Class was the BMW 3 Series and Infiniti G. Not surprisingly, each of these were the most common models in their respective lineups. Los Angeles and Miami are also prime hotspots for luxury car thefts, according to the Detroit News report.
While getting your car stolen is pretty awful, there was one inspiring statistic compiled by the NICB - the average recovery rate across the board was 84 percent, with the Cadillac CTS getting recovered 91 percent of the time.
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.
