Up for sale is my 83 300 SD. About 200,000 miles. Exterior 9/10. Interior 10/10!! I've owned the car for the past 2 years, and have put a significant amount of time and money into restoring this car. Why am i selling it? Well, I've done just about everything i can do to it. Its pretty much fully restored. I bought a another project car (91 300d 2.5T) and im ready to move on.
I replaced the front ball joints, upper control arms, tie rod ends, steering damper, and steering gearbox, and the car now handles like a dream.
I removed the transmission, and had it looked over by a Mercedes specialist, and made sure all the internal components were up to par.
I replaced the front and rear brake calipers, rotors, and pads.
A few months ago i had all new Michelin tires put on.
The body is completely rust free. However, there is surface rust on the underside of the car, around suspension parts. It is NOT structural, or rusted through, and can be expected with a car that is 30+ years old. How can i tell its surface rust? When i had the interior out, i inspected the rocker panels, and floor pans down to bare metal, and no signs of rust from the inside. The rust is nothing to be worried about. Even your "rust free" California cars have some minor under body rust. But hey, at least im honest!
The AC DOES work, and it is fully charged. Before i switched it to r134a, i changed the condenser, Dryer, and Compressor, and had the system evacuated and moisture boiled out before i put the refrigerant in.
EVERYTHING in this car works, except the Tachometer, odometer, and power antenna. The radio has CD, and AUX input. I've only ever wanted to listen to my phone/ipod in the car.
The odometer died several months back, so i read that it is probably the gears that are bad. Sure enough, they were bad. So i put new gears in. That didn't fix it. So i assume that it is the Capacitors in the board, but right now I don't really see a point in me taking the time to fix it. I've never used it anyways.
I've put alot more in the car than what I've listed. I've put thousands of dollars into this car, in JUST PARTS. Not because everything has broken, but because i wanted this car to drive and look spectacular. This is not a fixer upper car. This is a car meant to be driven. After all, it is a Mercedes S class. Its the finest of luxury and German engineering that Mercedes made that decade. You're never going to find another one of these cars in this condition, or with these updated features. at least not for sale! Its worth every penny of the 6500 im asking for it, but i am willing to negotiate. Let me know if you have any questions, or if you want more pictures.

Mercedes S-Class Magic Body Control ad is clucking awesome
Tue, 24 Sep 2013This is a new ad from Mercedes-Benz. At no point does it show an automobile. Instead, it stars animals, but not the sort you might normally see in car commercial. This ad is all about chickens. It is bizarre, to say the least, with Diana Ross and the Supremes belting it out in the background, but it all kind of comes together when you realize just what Mercedes is hawking (yeah, pun intended).
It's for the manufacturer's Magic Body Control, found on the new S-Class. The system basically analyzes the road and prepares the suspension accordingly, leading to a ride that is, in the words of our own Chris Paukert "nothing short of spooky." You can read about it in our full review of the 2014 S550. Take a look below for the 53-second spot.
Mercedes A45 AMG in downhill battle with slipstream skateboarder
Mon, 30 Sep 2013We're told it takes "performance, control and expression" to pilot a longboard skateboard down a mountain road, and that those happen to be the same values embodied in the Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG. That's how the two came to be combined in a black-and-white short film called Silver Slipstream.
There's no talking, no engine note and no color, just some music, a 'boarder and a car on a long cruise down the Franschhoek Pass in the Western Cape of South Africa." Despite that, it's actually a pretty entertaining video of the latest Mercedes-Benz hot hatch married with extreme sports. You can watch how it all goes down in the video below.
Chris Harris and David Coulthard wring out a Mercedes Fintail at the N"urburgring
Thu, 17 Oct 2013If there's one thing we've learned from the latest video from Drive, it's that the combination of Chris Harris and David Coulthard will produce some very quotable moments. Take this exchange, for example.
DC: "We are by some way the slowest."
CH: "But we're in a class of three cars, apparently."
