Thanks for looking at my 83 Benz. This car is the 123 body which was the most popular model ever made by Mercedes and has the 5 cylinder 3-liter diesel engine with a turbocharger. I have owned it personally since 2006 and drove it almost every day. It was run extensively on biodiesel and runs well on it. I have recently purchased my first new car in many years and something has to go. Sadly it is the benz. I will try to describe it as accurately as possible and if you have questions don't hesitate to contact me. I will list the bad items first then the good.

The bad

The odometer never worked while I have owned the car so the mileage is higher than what shows. There is peeling in the clearcoat so it could be shinier.Only starts in neutral. (this may be a minor adjustment) The drivers seat has a hole in the back cushion (covered by the seat cover in the pics) Rear power windows do not quite go to the top on there own, they must be helped. Power antenna works but isn't hooked to the radio for activation. (a good radio installer could probably hook it up) Air conditioning works but leaks badly so is not charged. Cruise control doesn't work.Crack in windshield.Tear in headliner.

The good

I replaced the motor last year with a low mileage one from a wrecked car. Runs very well.Tires were purchased by me and have about 60% left on them. Has a good spare. Has a nice stereo -cd player. Comes with a set of regulators and motors for the back power windows. I have a replacement speedometer to fix the odometer issue that comes with it. I have a number of other miscellaneous. extra parts that will also go with it. When we replaced the engine we also replaced the AC compressor but it hasn't been charged up. If the price goes high enough (don't ask) I will replace the windshield The body on this car is exceptionally straight and it has minimal dings etc. Very good for a car of this vintage. I installed a new 6-year battery last week.

I'm sure I may have missed something so just ask any questions you want answered.

This car is for sale locally so the auction could end at any time if it sells.

Buyer to arrange his or her own shipping or pick-up

Please don't bid if you aren't going to pay and no check scams etc.

Buyer will put up $500.00 by paypal within 24 hrs of auction ending and pay balance in cash or by paypal before delivery and all funds must be cleared to pick it up. No over the amount checks or any of the regular scams.

Thanks for looking

Next Mercedes-Benz GLK to get AMG variant? Not likely...

Fri, 15 Mar 2013

If you think Mercedes-Benz will slap an AMG badge on anything with wheels, think again. Word has it the German manufacturer will not offer buyers a performance version of the GLK, with Tobias Moers, director of AMG vehicle development, saying that he doesn't see a market for the car. That's not to say the picture won't change in the near future, however. According to CarAdvice.com, AMG is keeping a close eye on the arrival of the Porsche Macan.
"Maybe there will be a change in the market when the Porsche [Macan] comes up," Moers said, "but right now, no."
The real hitch in the giddy-up seems to be cost. Moers says developing the machine into something worthy of an AMG would represent "a huge investment." We can't exactly argue with that. Fortunately, AMG buyers have plenty of Mercedes-Benz models to choose from.

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-Benz to build new ML coupe-crossover in Alabama in 2015

Fri, 05 Sep 2014

Mercedes-Benz will expand its factory in Tuscaloosa, AL, to build the ML Coupe, a new crossover that will join its lineup in 2015. Mercedes will also ramp up production to build facelifted versions of the M-Class and GL-Class SUVs, lifting the factory's total production capacity to about 300,000 units annually in 2015. It made 185,000 vehicles in 2013. In addition to SUVs, the Tuscaloosa site also makes the C-Class sedan.
The plans come as part of Mercedes' strategy to capitalize on Americans' increasing demands for SUVs. The company said the SUV market was up 12 percent in first half of 2014, and expects it to grow at twice the rate of the regular market in 2015 and 2016.
"We are seeing climbing demand for SUVs." - Dieter Zetsche
