1985 Mercedes Benz 300td Wagon W123 'dan In Real Life' Steve Carell Movie on 2040-cars
Walpole, Massachusetts, United States
|
Welcome to my auction. I've owned many of these model 123 Turbo Diesels, and purchased this car a last month, with the intent to resell. This is a no reserve auction. My trusted mechanic has worked on this car while owned by the previous owner, and I bought it based on his good overall opinion of this car. My ideal winning bidder will have watched the many Mercedes Repair videos by MercedesSource.com on YouTube. It is the best source of Mercedes mechanical help, and will prepare the winning bidder about how to buy and care for this Mercedes. The car starts easily, runs and drives well. It needs drivers side rocker panel repair/welding/patching (behind front drivers side wheel) and drivers seat floor area repair. Please know this before making an offer or bidding. I have a 2 body molding pieces that are off the car on the lower passenger side. I was told from the previous owner that 5 years ago the odometer worked/didn't work. I'm selling this as true miles unknown. The Title and Bill of Sale is ready to be signed over to the winning bidder from the previous owner. The a/c compressor is fairly new however the a/c system is not operative. The interior vent fan works only in defrost. It has a manual sunroof. The heat works with no odd smells. The vacuum lines look good however are untested with the door locks and other functions. The rear hatch isn't opening, and needs fixing. I have not gone thru this car to report if all the windows work or not. I know all the exterior lights work. The grill should be replaced as I put on the current one from my spare collection. Note some of the Google pictures show the original grill. The previous owner wanted to keep the clean grill, since they had owned the car since 1994 till recently, and were attached to this car :( The air filter housing needs fixing and it currently can rattle (common issue). Mercedessource sells a repair kit. There is a 3rd seat in the trunk however I have not opened it all the way to inspect. The tires are in very good condition. The shocks are average. The brakes are good. I have an extra rear bumper that is available for sale for $200 extra should the winning bidder wish to purchase, and also the stock rims for $200 additional. The car starts easily, with no excess smoke or noises. See my other auction thru Sunday for a 1983 300CD .
I'm letting the many photos speak for the car. Here's a link for many photos (again remember the nice grill is gone, so look for the old grill which is currently on the car).
Thanks and happy bidding.

2014 Mercedes-Benz S500 Plug-in Hybrid for fat cats frugal with fuel
Thu, 12 Sep 2013Judging by how long we waited to get a clear shot of the Mercedes-Benz S500 Plug-in Hybrid, you'd have thought hybrid cars were only driven by Terminators and that the technology arrived only 48 hours ago through a wormhole in the Mercedes stand. The newest member of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class hybrid band - joining the S400 Hybrid and S350 BlueTEC Hybrid, it hits notes like a 5.5-second sprint from standstill to 62 miles per hour, up to 19 miles of ion-powered running and uses three liters of gasoline per 100 kilometers in Europe (78.41 mpg US, but our mpg test cycle is different than their mpg test cycle).
The lump up front is a turbocharged, 3.0-liter V6, the lump in back - note the reduction in trunk space - is a pack of lithium-ion batteries that juice an 80-kilowatt electric motor. Other than having four drive options for controlling electric drive and battery usage, it's all S-Class all the time, with leather-covered everything and those mountainous thrones that bring to mind words like "Archduke" and "Papal."
You'll find our hard-earned gallery from the Frankfurt Motor Show floor above, and more words of information in the press release below.
Erebus Motorsport Mercedes E-Class V8 Supercar completes the field [w/videos]
Sat, 23 Feb 2013Ford, Holden and Nissan introduced their V8 Supercar challengers a while back. Erebus Motorport, whose racing program got the green light not even 120 days ago, has finally shown off the Mercedes-Benz E-Class racer that will complete this year's field of entries. The first AMG race car ever to be built outside of Germany, it's an Australian-built tube-frame chassis specced to the series' Car of Tomorrow rules, fitted with body panels that channel the E63 AMG.
Supported by AMG Customer Motorsport, the 5.0-liter engine is provided by HWA in Germany, the racing arm of AMG. Regulations dictate that it have roughly 650 horsepower, a redline between 7,000 and 7,500 rpm and a torque curve that matches the parity baseline set for all cars.
Lee Holdsworth, Tim Slade and Maro Engel will drive the three team cars, each with different sponsors. Their first showing will be at the Clipsal 500 on March 3 in Adelaide, here in the US we'll get to see them in May at the Circuit of the Americas. Check out the videos below of the Erebus car starting up at its launch, and footage of all of this year's cars doing pre-season testing on track together.
New Mercedes Unimog debuts to the cheers of little boys everywhere [w/video]
Sat, 27 Apr 2013The Mercedes Unimog, the superhero villain of the off-road world that's just waiting to make the jump to Transformer, has been completely upgraded for its new generation. There are ten models, expanding the range and getting new designations across the traditional all-terrain series and the implement-carrier series. Panoramic cabins get more visibility, multifunction steering wheels and better dash clusters, improved HVAC and a three-mode central tire inflation system. Outside, there are new items like LED headlights and daytime running lamps in the bumper, roof-mounted windshield wipers and a front-camera monitor for the implement carrier.
The new engine lineup is compliant with Euro VI, featuring four- and six-cylinder BlueEfficiency engines putting out anywhere from 156 horsepower to 354 hp. Powerplant placement has also been tweaked, the chassis members getting a revised curve to place the engine a bit further back and lower, maintaining off-road clearance and lowering the Unimog's center of gravity. The new location of the engine means the cabin has more room, and the wheelbase is shorter. Combined with a higher turning angle, the Unimog has a smaller turning radius than before.
The implement carrier gets what's called a "synergistic traveling drive," the bonus being that drivers don't need to stop in order to use an attachment - a hydrostatic transmission works with the regular manual transmission at up to 31 kilometers per hour for seamless switching.
