A really nice Mercedes 300SD Turbodiesel. All records since 2000. I've owned since 2006 and have always kept up with all maintenance. Some upgrades: repainted about 3 years ago, new replica wheels, replaced taillight lenses (they get yellowed on old Benzes), new Becker MB Stereo with CD player. Everything is current (fluids, battery, brakes, tires). A/C works. These are incredible cars and it doesn't run a bit differently from when I bought it in 2006. Some of these diesels shift hard, but this one shifts very smoothly and the steering is tight.

Squawks: odometer quit working about 6 mos ago, I never fixed because my Tech said it was not reasonable to do it, something about a plastic gear that wears down after 30 years and all those miles and hard to find a replacement. Miles don't matter that much to me anyways. I've put at least 100k on the car and like I said it runs exactly the same. There is a spot of rust on the driver door, and the paint job is pretty cheap--Earl Scheib or something like that, but the car looks great and I felt it was unreasonable to spend $7k plus on a really good paint job for a 30 year old car that isn't worth that much. Engine leaks some oil. I think this is fairly typical with an older diesel. It always has leaked some. It's just something I live with. Not a big deal. You can have the engine steam cleaned and have a tech chase down the leaks, but again, probably not worth it.

Just a great car. The only reason I'm selling it is that I have another similar W126 Mercedes and am just simplifying and reducing my possessions. 23.9 MPG in regular, city driving and 30 MPG on the highway. A great Biodiesel conversion car, too. I've never done that but am told these old Benzes run really well on Biodiesel or cooking oil.

Mercedes-AMG considering turbo fours, hybrid sixes for future performance sedans

Tue, 29 Apr 2014

Think of the letters AMG and you'll probably end up picturing a performance sedan with a big V8. Such has become, after all, the Mercedes turning division's calling card. But with the introduction of its 2.0-liter turbo four, AMG is working at turning that notion on its head.
The highly potent engine produces 355 horsepower and is presently installed in the A45 AMG hatchback, CLA45 AMG sedan and GLA45 AMG crossover, giving Benz's smallest family a full range of performance models. But that might not be the full extent of the high-strung four-pot's use.
Speaking with AMG boss Tobias Moers, Britain's What Car? magazine reports that Affalterbach is considering slotting the same engine into larger models, particularly performance sedans like the C-Class. As we recently reported, Mercedes is already preparing to up the power from the turbo V6 in the C400 to slot a C450 Sport in below the C63 AMG. The C450 is expected to offer around 367 horsepower where the CLA45 AMG et al pack 355, but the lighter weight of the four-cylinder engine would likely offset the truancy of those extra dozen horses. Of course such a prospect would be much further down the pipeline than the C450 Sport which is expected to arrive much sooner.

World Car Of The Year down to its final four

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

Judges for the World Car of the Year Award have narrowed down the finalists to just four vehicles. Out of a total of 42 entries, only the Mercedes-Benz A-Class, Porsche Boxster/Cayman, Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT-86 and Volkswagen Golf remain standing. For Volkswagen, this marks the second consecutive year the company has had an entry among the finalists, and the fourth time since 2009. In order to qualify, a vehicle must be on sale on two continents during the span of time between January 1, 2013 and May 30, 2013. A panel of 66 journalists from 23 countries then vote on the finalists.
Three vehicles have made the cut for the last round of voting on the 2013 World Performance Car as well, with the Cayman/Boxster and FR-S/BRZ/GT-86 running against the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta. Meanwhile, the Renault Zoe, Tesla Model S and Volvo V60 Plug-In Hybrid are duking it out for the World Green Car Award. Finally, the World Car Design of the Year Award is up for grabs between the Aston Martin Vanquish, Jaguar F-Type, and the Mazda6. Check out the full press release below. Overall winners will be presented at the 2013 New York Auto Show.
