1987 MERCEDES BENZ 300TD Turbo Diesel Wagon
Up for auction is a 1987 Mercedes 300 TD. I purchased this from the original owner, who was a Mercedes collector. He was about to retire to Florida and was selling his cars. I jumped at the chance to own one of these fabled 300 wagons with the best 6 cylinder diesel engine ever made. Shortly after buying it, I moved out to a rural location and found that I needed a 4x4 and the 300 has been in covered storage since. I think it's time to let it go so it can be out on the road, where it wants to be!
The vehicle is in very good shape for it's age, inside and out. Most people can't believe it's an '87. A few tiny dings and scratches to be seen from up close. The paint is in good shape; no fading or chipping. No visible rust at the jack points or on the body. Automatic transmission shifts smoothly. A couple of issues to mention: The original Becker radio is not displaying one of the numbers of the radio station correctly. The tiny wipers on the headlights don't work but I didn't find any '87s with those working. Since taking it out of storage, the power radio antenna and the driver's window are not working. If you hold the window switch and put your hand on the window itself, you can help it up and down. Seems like something is not catching correctly in the door because the glass starts to move a bit on it's own and then stops. All other windows and the sunroof work fine, so I assume it's not a vacuum issue.
I put a brand new battery in when I purchased the car and i also bought 2 service manuals and an all season car cover. There are the original MB rubber floor mats throughout, including the rear cargo area. There is a 3rd row of rear facing seats that fold out from the floor of the cargo area. Comes with 4 additional snow tires mounted on MB rims! Also, some random engine and interior parts the last owner had in his shop and gave to me. The engine was replaced at around 150 thousand. He didn't have the exact number. He said that the new engine has the 2nd generation head, which is the sought after one. He was a MB guy, so all work was done by Mercedes techs.
The winner will arrange to pick up the car within a week of the auction's ending date at my place in MA, 80 minutes from Boston, 45 minutes from Amherst, 40 minutes from Greenfield. Payment can be made at the time of pickup in cash, or pre-paid by bank transfer. All sales are final, no returns. Please ask all questions and/or come check it out before you bid. Bid with total confidence; look at my 15+ years of perfect feedback as a seller. Have fun and good luck!

Next Mercedes-Benz C-Class to get diesel, hybrid versions
Tue, 16 Apr 2013Mercedes-Benz is planning a more aggressive product strategy for its next-generation C-Class range. "We were fighting the 3 Series with two arms tied behind our back, and now we will change that," Steve Cannon, the automaker's US CEO, told Automotive News in a recent interview.
In addition to offering more body styles of the new C-Class, AN reports that the revamped Mercedes will also be offered here with hybrid and diesel powertrains. Currently, the C-Class comes in coupe and sedan variants, with only gasoline engines. The BMW 3 Series, however, is available as a sedan, coupe, convertible and wagon, and offers buyers the choice of gasoline, diesel (the upcoming 328d) or hybrid power.
Mercedes-Benz will show the next-generation C-Class at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show, with sales of the US-built sedan following in August. Coupe, convertible and hybrid models will follow in early 2015, and while diesel and all-wheel-drive versions are planned, no specific timetable has been released regarding availability.
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.
2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA priced from $31,300*
Mon, 28 Jul 2014Mercedes-Benz has kindly let loose the price of the 2015 GLA-Class, telling Autoblog.com that the base 208-horsepower GLA250 in two-wheel drive will go for $31,300 *not including a destination charge of $925. That makes for $32,225 in total to get one off the lot, a price predicted as early as last year and in our recent First Drive. The other two available models can push power to all four wheels, and after the destination fee is applied the GLA240 4Matic (pictured) will be $34,225 while the 355-horsepower GLA45 AMG will change lives and wallets to the tune of $49,225.
On the base scale, that puts the GLA250 just a few hundred dollar bills above the more powerful, rear-wheel drive BMW X1 and a stack of hundreds below the less powerful, front-wheel drive Audi Q3. If you're keeping in-house score, the GLA250 comes in at $1,400 above its sedan platform-mate with the same engine, the CLA250. At the high end, however, the competition doesn't have anything that can touch the AMG trim. Not that it should matter all that much - Mercedes needed something to keep these buyers in the family, and now they have it. If any of them should need even more power and more money spent, then there's always that 394-hp Brabus flavor. We'll have more info and details on each trim when Mercedes unleashes the shebang in the not-too-distant future.
