1985 Mercedes Benz 300TD. Turbo Diesel
Cold A/C-----Auto Transmission-----CD Player-----Power Windows/Locks/Antenna-----Working Sunroof-----167k miles-----Working Clock-----Cruise Control
LAST YEAR OF W123 Body= makes this the most desired year.
Low Miles These vehicles are seen with 1/2 a million miles or more. This is just broke in at 167,000.
Mechanically This has been gone through and is in EXCELLENT working order. I have driven this on road trips without any worries and would have no fear taking this across country. I change the oil every 3 months or 3k miles and although I check the oil regularly I never have to add between changes.
Mechanical Items Addressed
Numerous gaskets replaced (valve cover, transmission pan, oil pan, turbo oil lines, and more I don't remember), valves adjusted, as well as the A/C system serviced, brake job (raybestos pads and rotors turned less than 100 miles ago), radiator serviced with a cleaning and new antifreeze, new power antenna (goes up and down with original button on dash), sunroof gear replaced and system lubricated, all filters (oil, fuel, air) vacuum system serviced (fixed all leaks to ensure the power locks go up and down long after the car has been shut off), CD player/Radio, alternator rebuilt, and much more that I have forgotten. Whatever it needed I always had an open checkbook and took care of it every checkup (I had the mechanic go though it every 3 months).
Body and Interior-are in EXCELLENT Condition. The exterior has two rock chips, and the paint is new high quality dupont polyurethane (same stuff they use in the Kenworth Factory). Paint Job cost alone is practically what I am asking for the vehicle. The glass is in great condition, the windshield has a very small rock chip that is hardly seen and if repaired couldn't be seen. Interior Leather/Vinyl appears to be original and in good condition. The drivers seat has 2 small areas where the leather Split (each one is approx 2" they actually aren't very visable). The power windows all go up and down quickly. The Windows in the back make a clicking sound when they reach the top and the bottom but open and close as they should. The speedometer and odometer funcion properly and although the trip odometer works it doesn't reset to zero (I haven't checked if something is loose?). The tachometer works about 50% of the time (mechanic suggested that a connecter may need to be soldered). Below the rear window there is NO rust (a common problem for these, this may be due to being in california). The A/C works great and comes out of the vents on the far ends of the dash and out of the defrost vents (for some reason it doesn't come out the center vents-could be a fuse but cools the car well), fan blows well.
Fuel Economy for me has been between 26 mpg city and 33 mpg highway, with the turbo this the diesel has excellent power. I have a w210 mercedes diesel that is about 10 years newer and drives much better.
I love this car and would love to keep it forever but due to a future move I will no longer have garage space for her and she needs to find a good home. I have many more pictures and if you have any particular areas you would like pictures of let me know.

2014 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S Wagon is one hot hauler [w/video]
Thu, 28 Mar 2013Mentioned at the debut of the redesigned Mercedes-Benz E-Class back in January, Mercedes has finally pulled back the curtain on the E63 AMG S, which was on display at the New York Auto Show in wagon guise. The 2014 E63 AMG S ups the ante even more from a "base" E63 AMG, improving the car's performance and styling - not that it needed help with either to begin with.
Our favorite S-model upgrade is the added output tweaked out of the 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8 producing 577 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque, which represents a substantial gain of 27 hp and 59 lb-ft of torque over the stock E63. In wagon form, the E63 AMG S can run from 0-60 miles per hour in just 3.6 seconds and hit an electronically limited top speed of 186 mph. All 2014 E63 AMGs come with Mercedes' 4Matic all-wheel-drive system, but the S-Model adds in a limited-slip rear differential for improved performance.
Mercedes has made sure that the extra money being spent on the S-Model is instantly noticeable with slightly different design cues and black along with 10-spoke wheels with red brake calipers peeking through. Plenty of silver-chrome and high-gloss black accents finish off the exterior styling, while the interior adds Alcantara on the steering wheel, accent stitching on the leather and contrasting silver seat belts on models with the black interior. Scroll down for an official video and press release.
2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class caught totally undisguised
Mon, 18 Mar 2013Based 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.
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.
