1987 Mercedes Benz 300d on 2040-cars
Columbus, Ohio, United States
|
Up for sale is my 1987 Mercedes 300D. This is one of the cleanest and most mechanically sound 87 300Ds you will find in the northern states. Would make for a perfect WVO conversion. This car has seen very little snow in its entire life. I bought it in August 2012 after two Mercedes Diesel lovers owned it for a total of three years. The first 22 years of its life were with an elderly woman in Florida. Many repairs have been done since it was brought up from Florida. Listed below. I have receipts for many of them and full vehicle history reports. __________________________________________________________ The 300D has mainly been used around town for the last year, getting about 25mpg. The suspension is very tight and as you will see in the list below, it is pretty much all new. It needs at least a couple new tires, but this sale will come with three tires (I just put one on after a flat. The flat could be patched if wanted.) The previous owner put a set of four tires on matching Benz wheels. Those will be included. The transmission has good shift points, and pulls stongly, but shifts too firmly at times. The hvac system works very well, the a/c will freeze you out, and the heater works well. All buttons work correctly moving the air to where it is supposed to be. Even the rear headrest still flips down. While this car is an exceptionally clean driver, she still has some flaws, and this auction is as-is only. There will be no refunds or anything of that nature. I prefer that anyone bidding on the car actually come out to take a look at it. I am fully disclosing any issues this car has, whether they are big or small that I know of; however it is 25 years old and I cannot make any guarantees. Please ask any question you have. ______________________________________________________ Some things that are needed: Rear driver window does not go up or down. (Narrowed down to pinched wire in the pillar going to door) Front seat head rest motors run but don't move head rests Power antennae not functioning but makes noise Has a miss when fired up for the first time each day no matter what the temperature is. Has a few rust bubbles here and there, all smaller than a quarter. Dent in rear drivers quarter, shown in pictures. Passenger side rear wheel bearing will need to be replaced __________________________________________ Listed below are the replacement parts and work done over the last 3 years: Rebuilt injectors with Monarch nozzles Bosch glow plugs Rear subframe mounts and bushings, Lemforder Differential bushings and mount, Lemforder Sway bar links Both rear wheel carrier arms Bilstein shocks in rear Half shafts Lemforder motor mounts Driveshaft center support bearing and mount Battery Left rear wheel bearing Both front wheel bearings Left rear brake caliper, hard line and rubber line Windshield washer pump Belt tensioner Return lines on injectors Front end alignment General Altimax HP tires Steering filter and fluid change Defroster switch Filter and fluid change on transmission Rotella Synthetic oil every 5,000 miles Both front ball joints Idler Arm repair kit Tie-rod arms and ends both left and right front Block heater New expansion tank (old had become hard to see through after yellowing with age) Coolant flush and refill with new Zerex antifreeze designed for the Mercedes Alignment at Mercedes Dealership Rear brake pads Drivers side rear brake caliper Both Fuel filters changed every 10,000 About 14,000 miles on current General Altimax tires mounted on Mercedes Wheels, as well as about 8,000 on Cooper tires mounted on Mercedes Wheels.

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.
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.
Online Find of the Day: Lexus-engined Mercedes pickup is a vintage hybrid
Tue, 16 Sep 2014You have to love someone who gets incredibly committed to a very weird idea. What you see for sale here is a right-hand drive 1971 Mercedes-Benz 220D in South Africa, but this old Mercedes is now converted into a pickup, complete with bed cover, and there's big secret under the hood, too.
The pickup conversion appears well done based on seller Sedgefield Classic Cars' photos. Even the tonneau cover fits well. You could almost believe that this Mercedes lived its life as a Chevrolet El Camino-like pickup from the very beginning.
However, the rear-quarters conversion might not be the weirdest thing about this Mercedes. The original diesel is gone from the engine bay in favor of a Lexus V8. It seems really odd to pop the hood and find a Japanese mill in this German car, but the photos make it look like a fairly well performed swap. So, bravo to the crazy thinking. According to the seller speaking to Autoblog by email, "as far as we can establish, this was done a few years ago, with all Lexus components."
